Thats too bad. My friend called me when we were at baltic sea cruise, and told that someone from S15OC has asked me.

It would be nice to have a little chat with you.
Maybe next time, somewhere.

Looks like mine... but with EPIC rimmage! You win sir! What offsets are those?

savage wheels bud would you mind telling me the offsets of them

Patience guys I've been very busy.. Everyone asking photoshoots to magazines and our club LS Garage won Best Club 1. award at Hot Rod & Rock Show in Tampere and also Best Club 3. award at American & Tuning Car Show in Helsinki! :notworthy:

Offsets of the wheels.. should I tell you?
Front - 18x9 +18
Rear - 18x10 +18

Rear has too much camber now, so little more work to do...

What is that thing on the dash above the center vents in the first pic. Btw car looks great mate well done

There was mounting point to LCD-screen. What a stupid place!

Well now all the show's are past and I have more time, I will update this project very soon!

Bunch of new parts are mounted and new power figures pulled!

So let's continue the story as I promissed...
Summer has began and Silvia is finally mapped, but not without extra work

Wheels got 215/35 and 245/35 Toyo T1R-tires and we started to put car back together.
Mapping time was booked early to Monday 11.4. Although time almost ended too soon.

Three days before mappingtime at AMW Dynoservice me and my friends started to but engine part back to enginebay. Water and oil circulating pipes cracked/snapped first, so one days was there. Next day I got stainless steel braided hoses and we got to work.

35 hours were left and engine was together. We were so happy and started it... ...well tried to start it

Nothing... ...WTF! At this time I realesed that I think we are in hurry now.
Well it didn't get spark at all... Fortunately I have missed one critical connector open, so after 2min we got spark but still no fire.

I can remember that after this we get to the next bar and have a beer or two

Next was fuel. Fuel came to fuelrail but somehow injectors weren't spraying it to chambers. I asked few guys and one very good datsun-guru came to help us.

When "Xenon" the nissan-guru came time were 8 hours left before we have to leave and head out to AMW.

Something was wrong with injectors. They were "new" but still. We took them out and looked. They were not acting to electricity as they should be. Little magic with electricity and sharp thing Xenon made them work again.

Injectors back to rail, everything else back and "hope dies last"-mind to head.

Clock was 03.35 at night and at 07.00 we have to go...
Well finally it fired up! I was very pleased. Also whole LS Garage were pleased because they can finally go and get some sleep

Few more thing and 1 hour sleep after, we headed to Lappeenranta AMW Dynoservice.

Mapped was done by Martikainen and power figures was just like I was wondering. Stock turbos max output.
318,3 Hp / 470,8 Nm @ 1,23bar.

After mapping we got home and there were lots of things to do.

One nissan enthuastic came and rolled my fenders. It went great with no paintcracks at all.

We gathered group called LS Garage. You guys can go and leave comment to our page on facebook here: LS Garage. Remember to join our fans with just clicking "like" button on top of the page

We were invited to Hot Rod & Rock Show 2011 in Tampere.
It was great idea to get our whole group there, but in reality it was long nights and pointless work with our cars.

LS Garage got four founding members with cars. Also lots of supportmembers with they showclass cars.


Parts from all over the world has finally get to me...

Carbon to enginebay and interior:

Multimediaplayer and new turbotimer. Painted parts to gold from engine:

Dashboard had ugly 2cm scratch and I hated it. So it got leather covered in Autoverhoomo Custom. In same picture is also JAS Designs leather shiftknobcover and handbrake cover:

After big lowering rear wheels were in ridiculous angles Last night before show we adjusted angles until 5.00 in the morning.

Hot Rod & Rock Show 2011 were nice, Got huge positive comments and long lasting friendships.

We even won the best car club award!

 

[Marcus]

After our first show in Tampere, there was one week to go Finlands biggest car show: American & Tuning Car show 2011 in Helsinki.

Show was great and LS Garage won again award. This time third place in Best car club class.

Even S15 Owners Club founder came to visit, but unfortunately I was in baltic sea cruise atm It was too bad to not get change to talk to you

This is how things looked in Helsinki, Exhibition Center

This photo is from somewhere in deep Helsinki

There has been some radical changes to my car in few weeks I will let you know in few days...
