My new 2002 Silvia build

[Nismo]

Hi here's a few pictures of the car and wheel build.
I started with buying this specR silvia not a solid shell but was complete


Which I then made look like this...



I decided to build a wide arch silvia so wanted a mint solid shell so I imported a new mint pearl white silvia
It's a 2002 rare sunroofed car
Here the auction pictures

And when it arrived


I then removed the engine for the specR engine and 6sp box



I then sold my fresh refurbed SSR SP1 professors

To fund the MAD Meisters

18" front 10j et-23 rears 13j et-35

They were tatty but had potential.....

 

[Nismo]

So I split them down and refurbed them here's the results








Here's the test fit of the fronts on the stock arches



Here's now the test fit of the rears with the rear arches fitted

 

[Nismo]

Here's how the car is now, waiting for the kit to be prepped and painted


I'll put up more when there's more progress

 

[JDM_virgin]

looking great dude you going for factory pearl white?

 

[Nismo]

It's going pearl white but not sure if I want the same pearl

 

[S15AK]

very nice, is that the bn sports body kit?

 

[Nismo]

Yeah the BN Blister kit which is probably going to get widened.
Fitted my Nismo clocks today

Looking very good mate, you can never have too many S15's! Looking forward to seeing the progress with this one, looks set to be something special

 

[Nismo]

I've only got the white one now the silver shells sold.
Just ordered bride rails for my evo8 tight bolster recaros

Love the Nismo cluster...that's why I got one..

 

[dave_t]

Love this Mate! look forward for updates

 

[Nismo]

Cheers took a couple of steps backwards with the kit and had to take it off but got a couple of other bits and bobs tightened up and changed the 2way diff off the car for the specR diff again (Got confused which was which when fitting...... Rookie lol) kits getting put back on tomorrow when the washer bottles back on and something's been worked out with what to do with nissans imbecile idea to put the loom in the wheel arch.....

 

[Nismo]

More fettling of the front end

I have that exhaust but looks slightly diff. Mine has the whole tip burnt look. And says trust

 

[sammos13]

looks like the S14 one, i had one on my S14a with the same logo etc... think all the S15 ones have slip joint also between the 2 parts.. epic exhaust tho !

[slider200]

Oh yeah just noticed that. Also sammos13 fit was very good although I have a hanger missing. And front hanger on back section needed a trim as was rattling against it prob due to missing hanger

 

[Nismo]

It came off a 15 and was brought off a forum member. I'm not really fussed either way tbh it's damn light and looks good

 

[Nismo]

Getting there slowly....

Gives an idea of the extra width with the stock wheels on but it's going wider still to fit the rear wheels.

 

[Nismo]

This is the progress so far had to take time out for an operation but should be painted in the next couple of weeks after all the filling and smoothing in is finished. Finally got my bride seat rails too so the Evo VIII recaros can go in soon too then it's finishing touches and registering to do.
