My S15 Build

[doofus]

Hey fellas,

This is my Nissan Silvia S15. After going through many many trail and error, and spending/selling more then i needed to on my previous ride, i decided that this 15 should only get only the best of the best parts, etc. Do it once, do it right! All parts on this car is genuine, from head to toe.

Some progress pictures over the years


When I first saw it on carsales around 2006

After i got it, gave it some good TLC, buff, polish, etc. Took me 3 long days.

Even went through the effort of polishing every gap in the badge, you can see the pearl reflect off the paint.

Then fitted a TRUST PEII exhaust, DIY with a mate.

Drove past a caryard, saw a set of Buddyclubs on a R33 and thought ill give it a shot if they will sell me them. The result:

Coilovers installed - HKS Peformers

Saw the concaves on these SSR and thought it was a MUST have thing.

I then took off the vertex kit, and was on the hunt for spec r side skirts and jdm rear bar.

Volk Racing TE37 always loved this look!

Defi's - started in the arvo, went through the night..

This is how she looks now with a Genuine Vertex Ridge before going to the painters (with canards trial fitted) Big thanks to Bodyform!

loving the blending work, underneath is fibreglass layered

Changed the tyres from 235 to 245 and what a big difference it made, looks heaps better with a fatter tyre. again thanks to pete!

Havent updated for awhile, this happened a few months ago so yeh.

I finally took the car out! Haven't seen the thing for so long.
Drove it to JAX liverpool for a much needed wheel alignment, camber, toe adjustments and adjusted the rear coilovers.

Super happy with it, car feels and drives like a dream. Big thumbs up to the guys at JAX!

Adjusting the rear coils.

Wheel alignment

Next on the list, front/rear pads and rotors...
