A BIG TURBO S15 Silvia is Dangerous as Hell

  • The Nissan Silvia S15 has been one of America's forbidden fruit for years. This car was never made for the American market like the Nissan 240sx S13 and S14 - which made it extremely rare to find. Now with the S15 being allowed in the USA we are going to start seeing more of them. However some were able to make it across the water including this one. This 2JZ S15 Silvia build started all the way back in 2015, and now in 2024 it is finally time to shine with its owner James Kuhn - the previous owner of the notorious Mitsubishi Evo "Jasmine." So let's go for a drive and talk all about this masterpiece built by Allen Kerns at Excel Motorworks! Thanks for stopping by.

    I'll be so happy the day people learn that R888s aren't all that they're cracked up to be.
    They're made as a track day tire that needs some time to get up to temp to have optimum grip.
    Get yourselves some 200tw Autocross specific tires. They heat up and offer better grip much quicker and at lower temps.

    Sounds like you need to change the thermostat or have manual switches for the cooling fan/fans because it’s ridiculous to not be able to just jump in and be able to drive your car. It shouldn’t not warm up it should not overheat 🤷‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

  • @PiterStreak

    Whether it's a small ducktail or a massive chassis mount, wings/spoilers just never look silly on S15's. They just pull it off well. But they do look a bit odd and naked without one at all. Everything about the build is stunning though. The guy really is a wizard.

    • @Jokingskull99
      @Jokingskull99 Před 4 měsíci +4

      It's definitely a thermostat issue. If it was closed when it was supposed to be, the cooling system would be irrelevant, because the coolant would have no way to flow out of the engine as long as the interior heater is off,which would warm the engine much quicker.

    I think this Silvia is absolutely gorgeous! The S15, the S13, and the CSP311 would be my personal picks if I were to ever own one. However, this is a bit of a hot take here, but I think this REALLY should've had an RB or a built SR20... Leave the 2J's in the Toyota's, that's my opinion... Honestly, a CSP311 with a built SR20 or even a stock RB26 would be pretty sick, thinking about it XD

      It seems like for most cars, the suspension parts that keep the big hp planted or at least tamed also reduce cornering ability.
      In my experience depending on the car you have, 400-800 hp allows for a good balence of speed and cornering
