<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-p_jXj8yMvSU/XhXBbs4yoBI/AAAAAAAABGo/1_K5wBKogH0wKC9FhpWo4LHEi5exaehAwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/double-din-headunit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" data-original-height="563" data-original-width="750" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-p_jXj8yMvSU/XhXBbs4yoBI/AAAAAAAABGo/1_K5wBKogH0wKC9FhpWo4LHEi5exaehAwCLcBGAsYHQ/s400/double-din-headunit.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So, as the title says, I decided it was time to "Drop the bass" on my S15 and finally sort out the oh-so-jdm 90's stereo that came with the car.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I knew that I was looking for a <a href="https://www.drifted.com/double-din-head-unit/" target="_blank">double din head unit</a> as I wanted a Car Play compatible, touch screen stereo.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I settled on this Sony <span style="background-color: white;">XAV-AX100 6.4” unit and I am very happy with it.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br />It fits nicely into the interior of the cabin and my old girl now has </span><span style="background-color: white;">Google Maps, Spotify and crystal clear hands-free telephone calls.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Sweet!</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It only needed one special wiring harness that I obtained through Halfords and it was good to go.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I have some engine mods coming up, so I look forward to updating you Okishima heads then </span></span>🇯🇵</div>

Hey Okishima fans!</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's Joe from <a href="https://www.drifted.com/" target="_blank">Drifted</a> here, and I wanted to share with you the latest updates to my street S15.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iKcRwTb3Ihk/XYtKtn7h_zI/AAAAAAAABFA/M-JudeBspwsNZAW8kUixLoDm4uKu_wEAQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/joes-s15-silvia.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="1000" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iKcRwTb3Ihk/XYtKtn7h_zI/AAAAAAAABFA/M-JudeBspwsNZAW8kUixLoDm4uKu_wEAQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/joes-s15-silvia.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
So, since I last updated back in <a href="http://www.okishimaprogram.com/2019/01/nissan-silvia-s15-spec-r-update-january.html" target="_blank">January</a>, there have been quite a few changes, mostly under the hood.</div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;">New to S15's? Then this <a href="https://www.drifted.com/nissan-silvia-s15/" target="_blank">S15 guide</a> was written just for you.</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The mostly stock engine has been upgraded with a selection of bolt-ons, including a 3" turbo elbow to complete the full 3" turbo-back exhaust system, uprated Walbro fuel pump, GReddy electronic boost controller and a Nistune ECU.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9RR95sd0i5k/XYtMi8CQdcI/AAAAAAAABFY/XvP--HPRmG8gF_hZq6IiKCp-b9yvvdSbwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/s15-tuned.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="1000" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9RR95sd0i5k/XYtMi8CQdcI/AAAAAAAABFY/XvP--HPRmG8gF_hZq6IiKCp-b9yvvdSbwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/s15-tuned.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I then took the car to well regarded SR20DET tuner Martin Battye. The boost has been increased from the stock 0.65 bar to 0.9 bar and it has made a substantial difference in shove and noise. The big surprise was the MPG has significantly increased as a side effect.. nice!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The first serious outing for the car this summer was the July D-Warning Wales driving tour. This tour is run by a group of old friends and is one of my annual driving highlights.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
The S15 was joined by a selection of tasty metal on the challenging Welsh mountain roads.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Highlights included a Honda S2000, Honda Civic Type R (FN2), Porsche Boxster among many others.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The S2000, Civic and S15 were closely matched on the tight and twisty roads. The S15 seemed to pickup quicker with its turbo grunt, however, once the Honda's VTEC systems were on song there really wasn't much in it. I didn't get to drive it but talking with the owner the FN2's predictable FWD handling allowed him to push harder in the corners where I was not quite as committed with my Silvia. There was very little in it between the S2000 and S15.</div>

Right now it is under surgery for a custom front mounted intercooler upgrade, and then it is back for mapping to > 1bar. I am hoping to break the 300bhp barrier but the temptation to swap out the turbo for something tasty is real...</div>

<br />
I'd like to start this brief S15 update by wishing you a happy new year! Let's hope 2019 is the year we all want it to be.<br />
<br />
So onto the car.<br />
<br />
Over the winter I have changed up a few items on the car, starting with matching door cards and interior trim:<br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--dN1X-nWmBc/XFL5N6ASJtI/AAAAAAAAA80/gqOdODBo3zwNgr4kitKX-ZFFO0j4wq0_wCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1154.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--dN1X-nWmBc/XFL5N6ASJtI/AAAAAAAAA80/gqOdODBo3zwNgr4kitKX-ZFFO0j4wq0_wCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_1154.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AQhh4Hlxopc/XFL5KrI5sII/AAAAAAAAA8w/N7aGrseztPQ7okIt-KyG1ju47ZRn7sPtwCLcBGAs/s1600/doorcard-1.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AQhh4Hlxopc/XFL5KrI5sII/AAAAAAAAA8w/N7aGrseztPQ7okIt-KyG1ju47ZRn7sPtwCLcBGAs/s640/doorcard-1.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-odc0UAXW3Xc/XFL5KFPmbRI/AAAAAAAAA8s/YsAkwoZCnFUmggoF1nlcWJRR3hUWh2QagCLcBGAs/s1600/doorcard-2.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-odc0UAXW3Xc/XFL5KFPmbRI/AAAAAAAAA8s/YsAkwoZCnFUmggoF1nlcWJRR3hUWh2QagCLcBGAs/s640/doorcard-2.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
With the interior sorted it was time to add a little bling to the near stock engine bay, so an aluminium intake pipe was sourced:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gOSMk7oGQYo/XFL7harzA4I/AAAAAAAAA-A/WgdSuWzgfjQEdoGaMO72kTjMZNdfn7LMgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_2074.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gOSMk7oGQYo/XFL7harzA4I/AAAAAAAAA-A/WgdSuWzgfjQEdoGaMO72kTjMZNdfn7LMgCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_2074.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This tidies up the intake side of the engine bay plus enhances the sound of the intake noise.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LaUAiLCquSg/XFL7h5KsOaI/AAAAAAAAA-E/sWS5IPRDuioyxuwnuG4s9Kfqa6vE7ADugCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_2075.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LaUAiLCquSg/XFL7h5KsOaI/AAAAAAAAA-E/sWS5IPRDuioyxuwnuG4s9Kfqa6vE7ADugCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_2075.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Next, I moved onto suspension, the car came over from Japan with a set of used Bilstein shocks and springs. These always felt a little crashy however I had no idea how bad they were. It turns out, pretty bad:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Z5FdBD3uOeM/XFL5gDf23QI/AAAAAAAAA9E/rKOKEgwRRjkC_kD2XxReQOGUfzqeW7iMwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1144.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Z5FdBD3uOeM/XFL5gDf23QI/AAAAAAAAA9E/rKOKEgwRRjkC_kD2XxReQOGUfzqeW7iMwCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_1144.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
So they were promptly replaced with a brand new set of adjustable MeisterR coilovers.<br /><br /><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HQ3QcV7yl4M/XFL5mKcQFnI/AAAAAAAAA9I/F2V4mBk5dMUYnuFutJQAV3wI76OMk6zSgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1143.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HQ3QcV7yl4M/XFL5mKcQFnI/AAAAAAAAA9I/F2V4mBk5dMUYnuFutJQAV3wI76OMk6zSgCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_1143.jpeg" width="640" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2dnR6j7PYX4/XFL5mhYuSEI/AAAAAAAAA9Q/5ufGYTrZ5GYTNME_PraeMPtaJ8X0691qgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1142.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2dnR6j7PYX4/XFL5mhYuSEI/AAAAAAAAA9Q/5ufGYTrZ5GYTNME_PraeMPtaJ8X0691qgCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_1142.jpeg" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
I am very happy with the composure and handling of these coilovers, the adjustable top mounts are also very helpful.<br /><br />

I initially had some rubbing issues after fitting the wheels on my all stock arches, so a call to <a href="http://www.archenemy.co.uk/" target="_blank">Arch Enemy</a> was placed and I had the good man out that same week.<br />
<br />
Both front and rear arches were rolled with no paint cracking and now even when pressing on there is no rubbing. Great job Arch Enemy!<br />

This car is my daily driver and over the coming years, I will slowly transform it into my ideal daily.</div>
<br />
The spec is pretty basic, 50k miles, full Aero kit, fogs, 3" exhaust system, HKS intake, Bilstein suspension, WORK XT7 wheels (18" 8.5 ET+32 square), clear rear lights, Bride seats and shift boot.<br />
