[a_ahmed]

Well I know we briefly had some info scattered about this car around... I thought I'd create a thread for it.

Anyone got more info, specs or pix of it?

Even the hood? Is it a one off?

Well here's the dragsport article...

Are you sure that's an s15? The rear upright is a non fork type. Nice pictures though

It's too bad they don't give more juicy info like alignment specs, modifications they did, other than "yo yo jic flta2 coilovers and all our jdm tyte arms" without much actual info that's useful, as anyone can buy all their off the shelf stuff and not be even close, etc...

Edit: nm I forget... s15 doesn't have fork, it was z32 converted i guess oops.

Here's a few press release / articles from the JIC website. Most include pics. Specs other than tires are sparse.

S15's come with normal S14/S13 style uprights. The other pic is using Z32 uprights.

Edited post my bad True that.

What's that brace going to in the "other" S15 pic? Does it just tie the subframe main rails together, or bolt onto something else to triangulate loads?


Also, what's with the pic of the JIC S15 with the front wheels off the ground. Looks like a severe lack of droop travel.

Theres a steep incline / drop off at that part of the track. Most cars come off the ground there if they are going fast enough.

I know why the wheels are off the ground, just seems like a severe lack of droop travel or way too much high speed rebound if the fronts are still well off the ground.

Looks like it's just a lateral support for the subframe is all.

I found another S15 with that same brace. Must be a factory part along with all the other neat S15 Spec-S add-on braces.

I spoke with the USA president of JIC when he was in town. I figured it was the best opportunity to get as much information out of him, considering he had a bud light in one hand. He briefly explained that they altered the suspension kinetics to fix some of the known issues of the Nissan S chassis. Thats all i got out of him

I'm guessing that was Jon...he doesn't leak a lot of info.
