Is this a Jap-Spec s2000 ?

not all come with gps it was an option.

heap jdm motor runs higher compression also has slightly more power

audm s2k - 176kw
jdm s2k - 184kw

not that you would feel the diffrence.

i wonder how much the option was,
would love one on the aus delivered models. A friend of mine had a 2001 model which had it and he brought his from a dealer here.. :S
ay with our cars this light, i think u would feel almost 10kws haha :P

It does have slightly higher compression, but not because of the climate but because the petrol available in Japan is higher octane.

So yes the higher compression will give you a bit more power, but will also ping much easier, which the ECU will detect, pull timing and reduce power. :banghead:

But what system did he have in it? The JDM Nav system won't work in Aus.

I wonder if anyone here giving advice to cut up the dash actually done it?

im in the process of looking for a suitable system which will suit the bezel and give me gps navigation, aswell as fm/radio, mp3 and also vehicle telemetry. very pricey and im looking at minium 800 :/
the bezels on ebay are for right hand drive models as well so its straight suit for aus spec dash. it doesn't say on the add but i contacted the supplier and he guaranteed me it is for RIGHT hand drive models

im scared of ******* up my dash in the process of cutting, might invest in another dash just incase (god i wish i had my other shell, would have just used that dash :/)
will keep you guys posted in the process and eventually write up a DIY for it with photos

Probably the best way to tell is to have a look at your VIN. Tell us what you see. Also, if it's a JDM model with the stock ECU, see if you can test drive it past 180kph...

I've seen that twice now, and the second time looks no less painful.
