hey guys as it says.. i want a site like iluvmyrx7 but for jap spec cars..

ive just got myself a JDM S4 'vert, factory turbo and auto..
i basicly want to know what the std options were, diff ratio and weight..

it has adjustable shocks.. look like KYB's
the s5 aluminium bonnet
LSD

 

I got one of those!

AFAIK the mechanical specs for the turbo 'verts are exactly the same as the turbo coupes. I've been looking for ages but never seen any sites with some solid info on the Japanese models.
The US models with autos have a taller 3.9:1 diff compared the 4.1:1 fitted to the manuals. It's likely the Japanese models use the same ratios (mine's a 5-spd).
All the 'verts I've seen here seemed to have the same trim level, i.e. everything! I think the only thing they didn't get was AAS. Mine has adjustable shocks too, but I don't know if they're stock or aftermarket.
I've yet to weigh mine, but in non-turbo form the 'verts weigh around 100kg than the coupes, so I'm guessing they're ~1375kg for the S4 and ~1425kg for the S5. Not exactly light...
Enjoy your car!

 

so you saying it has the 3.9 cause the n/a autos do, or the 4.1 because it is turbo?


also was the aluminium bonnent std on the S4 verts? or is it most likely a s5 one that has been but on..

the Weight was close to what i had figured too..

Thanks!!

 

the converts in the us are heavy and slow!! n/a only!! my 91 convert weighs 3,900 pounds!

 

Generally the turbos and NA's have the same ratios. Its the manuals and autos that are different. I believe all 'verts had aluminium bonnets.

 

Dude, if the verts didn't have aluminium bonnets, they would sink below the bleeding ground...

 

3900 pounds wtf?? thats is 1800kg.. there is no way they are 1800kg!!

1400kg or 3090 pounds i can belive! not 3,900 pounds!

My planed mods for enign,turbo and the trans will get the thing moving at a bit more respectable speed, though i bought it as a cruiser!

 

3900!!! EEP! My vert weighs in at around 3100lbs, prob 3500 with me and those damn heavy 17"'s the guy had on them.

 

so your saying the 3100 is the std n/a weight? thats closer to what i would think..

 

bumping in hope!

 

88 Verts in the US are 3003 lbs stock. s5 verts are about 3150 lbs.

 

thanks for the info...

still really want a JDM specific site many parts and part numbers are different... even if it is in Japaneese
