are you sure it’s not a thermostat valve stuck open issue? Or running one that opens at too cold a temperature? My dads truck would do the same thing and he only drove 2 miles to work. Only realized it when we drove far after a couple years

[@Jokingskull99]

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.

[@Clark_R]

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.

[@ssjdavid]

[@PapaTroll86]

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.

[@PiterStreak]

Beautiful build. I'd definitely check that thermostat though. My stock cooling system is too good as well but the thermostat makes sure to keep the block at it's rated temp.

[@chasingcloudsandflavorrevi9817]

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 🤷‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

[@timothylemons634]

sounds like someone forgot to chuck the thermostat in the housing altogether 😂

[@1FastMKVSupra]

Awesome build, loved it. Amazing color. The downfall of these along with many of this era is rear tire width limitation...obviously. 🙂

[@GreenSigmaTH]

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

I just got my s15 back from the shop…it’s making 470whp but it barely spins as it originally has the auto 3.9 final drive. I’m kind of conflicted as wheel spin sounds tempting but at the same time it makes the car slower?!….

[@halolime117]

I dont wanna be a prick but please tell James to fix his belt harness, i see they are pointing straight down behind the chair, thats a huge nono, in a crash youd bang up your whole spine :(((

[@jake.818.]

I'm so weak, I have been working on a S15 in FH5, rear wheel drive with 1160 HP and the racing 2jz engine swap so I know exactly what you mean because I can't get it to corner but the thing goes stupid fast on a straight away

[@kevinfitzpatrick5949]

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

[@jake.818.]

You guys sure you don't have a broken thermostat?... Someone else mentioned maybe you have a low temp thermostat. If so, from personal experience, stock temp coupled with a phat cooling package gets you what you want for street builds 👌

[@j.e.a.m1061]

[@KyleMack-s6y]

Great car except for the cooling issue and the complete lack of traction etc. I would say this isn't a "drivers car" if its not easy to drive. How much rear negative camber? Maybe detune the motor for less power or shift the powerband to make it more drivable (or both).

Now you know why they pick this combo for a drift car, lol. Cats out of the bag.

[@LegionofDune]

This car right here is the exact reason why I dedicated more of my time to the off-road game and sold my 2020 gt500. What is the point of having a car that doesn’t even get up to operating temperature by the time you get to work, also taking 40 minutes to get up to operating temperature before you can do a boost pull? And then, when you do get up to temperature, you have no traction whatsoever. Also, the guy says he never drives it. What is the point of owning that stupid car? so pretty much what he saying is it’s a garage piece for you to look at. Car guys are an odd bunch, have always thought that.

[@HostmorkeCZ]

You’re not alone in this thinking. I’d like to think there are people with to much money and put it into cars just to show off rather than being an enthusiast. This car seems very pointless, a 300hp s15 would be enough but people chase HP and builds for “clout” rather than having a useful cars. Off-road is where it’s at, purpose built to be used and abused.

[@kevinfitzpatrick5949]

I do have a sweet offroad tacoma that I take on little rally trails. My only complaint is they don't make one with quite enough power

[@kevinfitzpatrick5949]

I know, shit talking will ensue, but my 709 whp FWD EJ8 Civic was the exact same way, NO traction, but it would pull SO hard, even with 235 R888Rs on the front.
