Alex's S13 Odyvia Coupe Build

[alexisthemovie]

Lately, I have been itching for something really fun to drive and it's given me a bit of motivation to work on my S13. I've had this thing for over a year and have been slowly collecting parts while the shell has been collecting dust in the corner of my shop. I bought my friend's S13 fastback as well for it's engine and that also hasn't moved in a few months.

Just warning you guys, I've been known to abandon projects after spending a lot of money and nearly completing a car to my liking.

First, an obligatory photo of a previous car.

I want to build a super good looking car that is *FUN* to drive... on the track, in the canyon, doesn't matter. Chasing lap times is tiring and as I recently discovered - it's not for me, however I thoroughly enjoyed beating my other car around the track so I guess that is the motive for this S13.

I managed to snag some picture of it's current state this evening. I didn't start working on it until two weeks ago or so... and progress might be slow as I have very little spare time and I'm usually tired after finishing work for the day.

As you can see, I only installed one headlight... my friend cut the quarter panel for me underneath the overfender, but I need to finish building my wheels and test fitted before welding it up. Cage is fabricated by Parts Shop Max... all of the suspension components are PSM as well - just missing coilovers. <- PM me if you have any used ones for sale!

This is what we did the past few days... removed piping and intake stuff from the hatch, removed exhaust, driveshaft, clutch cable, power steering, drained fluids, etc.

Front wheel mockup - SSR GT3 18x12 with 7" lip. I am planning on running 18x10 with a 6" lip and 25mm spacer, but this gives me a good idea of what it will look like. Rears should be in the 19x12 - 55-75 range depending on how high I radius and flare and how much negative camber I decide to run.

http://i.imgur.com/M2T0n.jpg

Everything is planned already - I just need to purchase a few more parts and get to work installing everything.

Some more planned details...
S15 SR20DET with GT2871R 350-400 whp
Spirit Rei Odyvia Kit with custom body kit and grille (see below)
Radiused and reshaped fenders all around
326Power S15 3d*Star sideskirts and rear bumper
Wald Black Bison W212 front bumper
Origin Type II S13 Silvia hood (I need this if anyone is selling one)
Full Parts Shop Max suspension
Cadillac CTS-V brakes with Stoptech 14" 370Z Akebono rotors
SSR GT3 19x12 -75, 18x10 -50
and probably some vertical doors because I like them.

Here is a somewhat accurate shitty render I did a few months ago to get the original vision down.
http://i.imgur.com/VA4e5.jpg

All I need right now are PBM coilovers, seats, and some motivation! Feel free to send me business (wheel customization) too as money helps too. :D

That is an effing sick render. Sub'd for more updates!

[KendallH]

Holy god damn. Subbed.

[Kwolfe]

Really hope to see this get finished :eek2:

[rednissan180]

wowwwza... I like where this is going :boink:

[alexander240]

pretty awesome so far

[coupesallday!]

Sooooooo is it the hatch or coupe I'm confused

[TekuDrifter18]

Pretty sure he is building the coupe since the headlight and fender is mocked up on that as well as the rendering is the coupe. The hatch I believe is a parts car.

Hope to see this finished looks teh sweetness.

[HiddenCharacter]

In for this :me gusta .jpg:

[510erv]

In for this one

[EnvyS13]

I'm also getting in on this one

[NOOBdrifter]

I've been waiting for someone to do an odyvia coupe build on here!
Finally!

[pjurisprudencia]

In for for Honda

[Big Zee]

^ on a Nissan site ? for shame.

love the build dude!! did you have to custom make fenders or are there conversion fenders out already ?

[sixgun]

watchin this.

[Extreme Dimensions]

Those wheels are going to look AMAZING!

[leung]

this definitely looks promising...

[SLiDe_WaYz]

Interesting, subbed. Hope you don't abandon it.

[ShadowMan]

Very interesting, I'll be watching.

[drifted240sx]

Loving the valve cover color

[jdm2191]

Will be a one of a kind for sure!

[05subysti]

dope render, the outcome will be amazing im sure of it. Although it would be different if you did the odyvia conversion on the hatch instead, all the ody fronts are on coupes lol

[Big Zee]

^ its because coupes are better lol.

more updates please!

[sixgun]

i got coupe luv

[alexisthemovie]

Wow, lots of interest! Work has been really busy these past 3 weeks, which has been great. I just purchased some coilovers so when they show up, we can get the car back on the ground and start working on it.

I'm currently trying to decide whether I should stay with the 6 speed or go through the hassle of swapping everything to a 5 speed setup. I'd like to run 350-380 whp, which is risky with the 6 speed transmission.

[PureRush]

How do you plan on making the mercedes bumper fit? Is it even close to fitting without any modifications?

[alexisthemovie]

How do you plan on making the mercedes bumper fit? Is it even close to fitting without any modifications?

Fiberglass to fiberglass, it's pretty easy and even if the dimensions are off, just more gets cut. Any can work as long as you're not trying to put an Escalade bumper on a Ford Focus.

[StrawhatRR]

I remember first getting into fitment and finding your S2K build thread on VIP style cars and becoming hooked.
Also, really can't say enough how stoked I am to see this project take shape. Love the wheels idea, radius idea, bumpers and all.

[alexisthemovie]

Installed brand new Powered By Max Competition coilovers!

They go so low, I can't even install my spare roll-around wheels in the front! Once I get something for that, I can push the car outside, wash it, and start doing everything!

Ohhh man... I am super excited to see the rest of this. Never thought someone in the states would do an Odyvia. Don't abandon this. I love it so far. I like that note on your window too.

[hillclimb240sx]

WOW... that rendering is sick as fuck.... yes.. i agree... please follow through with this.. fucking awesome

[alexisthemovie]

Hate to be posting so many similar photos, but I went to work today (Saturday) and got the car on the ground.

The wheels on the car are 5Zigen ZR+520 in 18x7.5 +37 with 235/40/18. It is actually shocking how sunk it is in the rear. Almost looks like I could fit two of them in a dually setup. I have S14 LCA's in the front so it pushes it out about 10mm extra - something that I failed to account for with the original planned specs.

Will be hosing the car down on Monday and beginning the wheel build. I need a new 6 speed clutch and throw out bearing before I can drop the engine in. Will probably be ordering an ORC variant from Japan. I'll probably start by installing the drive axles, diff, and driveshaft. Hopefully my friend can help me weld up the cut quarter panels as well.

I redrew a line for how high up needs to be cut.
http://i.imgur.com/mOsQYcW.jpg

And... I started the wheel build! Decided to go with 19x7.5 outers and 19x4.0 inners for 19x11.5 -46 rear. Fronts should be 18x10 -1 with a 5" lip. I'm building that with spacers in mind due to the large brakes. May go 19" fronts in the future.

[alexisthemovie]

19x11.5 -46 rear test fit

Tried the 18x10 -10 (ish) fronts as well... the faces don't clear the brakes AND the wheels look small to me so I'm going to be running 19's up front.

I just dont understand what is appealing about so much camber on a car, 2013 rice ftw I guess. other than that the rest of it looks cool. always thought odvyia fronts looked good

I'm not big on the crazy deep/widebody look generally but wow you're doing it damn right for sure. Props on doing the odyssey front end too.

Dang that's a lot of dish. You going to track the car? Seems like a crazy staggered setup your car might push a lot...

I think 11.5 isn't even that wide, I just happened to need that much lip to fill up the arches. I am going to drive the car on a track, yes. It should be making around 350 whp on the first go around and then I'll be upping boost when I get a 350Z 6 speed and larger injectors.

I bought the kit from Mastermind. I bought the headlights from Honda while on vacation in 2011.

[Magical Trevor]

Subbed. Solid work.

[05subysti]

nice update, looks awesome. How much camber are you planning to run?

[coupesallday!]

So you just bought the front end, or the full kit for 5 grand

[sterlinge]

I say crazy staggered because the track width. 7.5" front space in the back and only 5.3" front space up front.

cool build. tough call on the tires, both sizes look good.

looking forward to more updates!

[atvrider647]

We're the overs hard to install? And what are your wheel specs you have the exact tire height I wanna run

[HiddenCharacter]

Woah such a nice jump in progress...keep it up.

More from yesterday:

Front wheel test fit (19x9.5 -21 with 20mm spacer and S14 LCA = 19x9.5 -51)
http://i.imgur.com/20YQ1uR.jpg

Lowered rear by maxing camber (only slight difference) and adding ~ 1/2 inch preload. It's then wouldn't sit any lower due to the PBM toe rod hitting the subframe.

Nice work!!! are those real Dmax side mirrors or ebays? just wondering...

[rawgarage]

daily progres... keep it going

[angeldunk707]

Amazing work and progress my friend. I find it so difficult to find out the perfect wheel fitment, but with this car you hit it right on the nose. Great job.

[alexisthemovie]

Nice work!!! are those real Dmax side mirrors or ebays? just wondering...

As far as I know, there are no "Dmax" mirrors. These are like hybrid M3/Ganador style ones, not sure what they're actually referred to as. I actually bought them off of eBay Japan where they were sold as real Ganadors for an R32 skyline... so I sort of got shafted on that. Real Ganadors are in the future though when I put the final touches on it.

[alexisthemovie]

Amazing work and progress my friend. I find it so difficult to find out the perfect wheel fitment, but with this car you hit it right on the nose. Great job.

Thank you. I have lots of experience with that (over 50+ wheel setups on my S2000). Also, it is something that I do daily here at my shop. Sometimes it is hard to gauge with such a large gap to fill (85mm overfenders) and nothing near that size to use as reference.

I could use your help or opinion. I'm PM'n you right now

[alexisthemovie]

Instead of re-uploading each "high quality" photo on imgur, I'm going to just hotlink from my Facebook uploads. Makes it easier on me.

This is the progress from last night...

I bought a hub so I could install the Momo steering wheel.
https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/537592_10151360713128004_1780935130_n.jpg

Also, I got the front tires on! Went with the new Falken Azenis FK453 in 215/35/19... I have yet to adjust the new toe arm that I installed so the passenger side rear wheel is toed out.
https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/734127_10151360713133004_1857074675_n.jpg
https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/734169_10151360713123004_1254032731_n.jpg


Front wheels are 19x9.5 -21 plus a 20mm spacer and S14 LCA = roughly 19x9.5 -51. It pokes a little bit so I need a bit more negative camber up front.

https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc6/208434_10151360713808004_409530843_n.jpg

Since the front tire tucks in, I had to unbolt the fender from the bottom just to get the wheel onto the hub.
https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/482660_10151360714993004_1608617599_n.jpg

Driver side... I still need to install the new toe arm on this side, adjust camber, and install the mirror.

https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/480661_10151360715068004_1114152462_n.jpg

This is pretty much it as far as fitment works goes until I have the drivetrain in, which should drop the car a little more. I'll be re-adjusting the suspension when all sprung weight is added.
https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/601562_10151360715353004_1925575433_n.jpg

For now, I need to order a new Ogura Racing clutch for the S15 transmission. Progress will be a bit slow until that's here.

[SLiDe_WaYz]

I really don't think you could build a sexier car.

It looks perfect without a engine and paint as is right now.

"This is pretty much it as far as fitment works goes until I have the drivetrain in, which should drop the car a little more. I'll be re-adjusting the suspension when all sprung weight is added."

Man I searched Odyvia on youtube. First video came up and it said Mastermind. And after seeing your s2k vinyl sticker on the windshield I swear I thought this was yours. I heard that LS start up and was like :eek::rawk:

Mastermind Edition Odyvia Fired Up - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJ48mvGYxh4)

I thought it was yours for a second but then was like naaaaaaaaaaaa.

Anyways, subbed man lol. So sick, and I hate you. I wanna sell my hatch for a coupe now lol. Every time I see someone doing something sick to a coupe it just puts me in this mood of depression because I will always have a softer heart for coupes over hatches lol.

* Excuse the video, not sure if it's allowed or w/e. I've been temp banned for linking videos before of drifting so I don't think this qualifies but w/e. * lol

[alexisthemovie]

Just a few small updates...

I'm picking up my Spirit Rei Odyvia hood tomorrow. After theorizing and staring at photos of the Odyvia hood compared to an S13 Silvia hood, I decided that there is actually a visual difference near the area where the hood meets the headlights and it'd be too risky to assume that an S13 hood will fit perfectly. I'll still be picking up an Origin Type II hood in the future and regardless of that, I'd need the front part of the Spirit Rei hood for fitment purposes anyhow.

I don't want to be that guy that just keeps posting the same photos over and over without making any changes so I'll try to have something new in each update.

After not achieving enough front negative camber, I took my friend's ingenious idea of bolting the front coilover to the side of the knuckle, leaving the top bolt out, and marking through the top hole with a sharpie where a new hole should be drilled. This was decided as the best method after seeing countless samples of sloppy slotting that people do on here. Instead of blindly drilling a new hole directly next to it, I knew that it'd have to be done in an arc so with this mark, I think that a figure-8 shape is the best option, of which I'll be having our machine shop do this so it'll come out cleanly. I figure I can adjust later using camber plate up top.

http://i.imgur.com/ZWgzZjM.jpg

I also finished installing the driver side Godspeed (sorry) V2 "bent" toe arm and preloaded the spring half an inch. I'll be purchasing 150mm Swift springs in the near future which will get the car to the height that I want. It is barely tucking currently.

http://i.imgur.com/4PqKmDT.jpg

Front camber. Due to the fender shape, it is not drivable at this height in front. I'll be reshaping the front fender before setting final alignment. That is a couple months down the line, however.

Is it even close to fitting without any modifications?http://flash.eviziotvreviews.com/9.jpg

It fits and is drivable at this height.

Finish this car damnit! Or else.........well I'll think about the consequences later

This thing is dope as a bitch!

[alexisthemovie]

The car is at the bodyshop, I ended up selling both sets of 19" SSR GT3 that I had and now I'm building an 18" set.

[PureRush]

How long did it take to get that front end from restored?

[alexisthemovie]

How long did it take to get that front end from restored?

I purchased the headlights from Honda myself and I bought the pieces (which were in stock) from Mastermind.

We're going to be selling more kits here soon so PM me if you are interested in one.

[alexisthemovie]

Got the rest of the Spirit Rei kit. At this rate though, I won't be getting my 326Power stuff until September it seems.

http://i.imgur.com/6oUtpka.jpg

[SupaDoopa]

I've wanted to go Odyvia for so long but never had the stupid dough laying around to do so. What did the kit run you? It seems like it may make more sense to just piece it together minus the front hood/bumper/skirts. I got a good friend who is a parts manager at Honda so I assume I can get the lighting at a steep discount.

I cannot wait to see this thing done.

[TheRealSy90]

Car is lower than 90% of zilvia cars, without an engine in the bay

Umm... No. There's cars tucking 17's and a shitload tucking 18's...

Not bashing this car at all! I love it.

[alexisthemovie]

Umm... No. There's cars tucking 17's and a shitload tucking 18's...

Not bashing this car at all! I love it.

I couldn't figure out why the car wouldn't sit lower at first, but after taking measurements, I realized that the fenders / overfenders are already "radiused" a bit higher than stock metal and other common fenders.

@SupaDoopa, PM me if you're interested in a full set with headlights. I think the price will pleasantly surprise most people now.

[jdizzy204]

Umm... No. There's cars tucking 17's and a shitload tucking 18's...

Last I checked, there are over 100,000 zilvia members. My statement is correct ;)

In fact its probably higher than 90%

[alexisthemovie]

So after trying every avenue to get my 326Power kit here on time for WekFest, and not succeeding, I decided to change it up. I started with a new quick render that I whipped up in Photoshop, then got to work.

http://i.imgur.com/II8RO5y.jpg

Driver side headlight installed.
Spirit Rei front bumper installed, then chopped.
Wald Black Bison bottom end chopped.

http://i.imgur.com/lDbesCc.jpg

Then the measuring began...

Since the Wald front bumper is wider and very square compared to the Spirit Rei Odyvia front, this is a rather hard task compared to the bumpers that I have had made in the past.

We ended up sectioning certain sections in order to flex the bumper a bit better into position and after centering / measuring for ground clearance, we screwed things into place.

http://i.imgur.com/3Kj0DTx.jpg

The vents will be cut off, moved to the sides, and fiberglass will be added to fill in the gap.

http://i.imgur.com/dm3uGxi.jpg

I'll show you guys what I'm doing for the grill soon...

By the way, here is my friend's S2000 that I'm excited about. We built the Weds Kranze Vishunus for it and he is doing equally as awesome custom bodywork / bumpers for his build. We'll both be showing off our cars at Wekfest San Jose next month.

[rawgarage]

nice update

[1gr8bar10der]

Good to see the progress. Coming along very nice.

[05subysti]

love the fvckin rendering! car will be amazing. How do you flex the ends of the bumper, to meet up with the odvia fenders properly?

Also what kind of fiberglass, other material you use to mold them together?

[alexisthemovie]

Sideskirt after cutting and correct positioning. Metal brackets were used to achieve the desired ground clearance and the gap will be filled with fiberglass.

The Wald vents were sectioned and moved to the sides with metal plates acting as a placeholder and backing so fiberglass can be laid.

http://i.imgur.com/idlSD6A.jpg

[05subysti]

Awesome progress on the pic!

So you lay fiberglass over the metal plates, then remove plates after the desired amount applied??

The whole kit is off the Mercedes wald kit, anything custom for the rear?

Fiberglass is laid behind the metal plates. Rear is also Wald, but it's a pain because the C63 rear is round while the S13 rear is squared off. We sectioned the bumper this morning and screwed it into place. Might end up opening a mold for it because I don't want too much bondo on it. Will post photos later.

[alexisthemovie]

Got my clutch today. Blitz Active Clutch for S15... super hard to find S15 stuff stateside.

Rear bumper...
http://i.imgur.com/SBHTHx2.jpg

This one is going to be somewhat difficult since the original rear bumper is super curved. Going to need to section this guy or go with a different plan. Kind of an expensive experiment but I should've thought about it beforehand.

So why the switch from S to s13?

Just wanted to do something crazy and I got bored of the S2000 / needed money to start a business.

Looking like some serious progress is going on here! Cant wait to see the WekFest coverage!

[ballsy240]

Are you going to do dual exhausts too?

Definitely will make a few minor adjustments to the front bumper this week. Small changes that 99% of people won't notice.

You can see how far off the old fender vent used to be. This caused everyone building an Odyvia to shave the upper and lower bodyline. I have a good solution for the bottom one that you will see later on.
https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/q71/s720x720/1004773_10151532805123004_1645433135_n.jpg

Hood modification and rear bumper progress coming soon. Also, wheels will be mounted soon so we can start on the fender re-shaping.

[HiddenCharacter]

So sick, nice update, might pm you for more info on this body shop. Keep it up.

[SevenPistolero]

:drool: what mm is the rear fender's for that kit?

[alexisthemovie]

:drool: what mm is the rear fender's for that kit?

85, but going to end up around 100mm.

[alexisthemovie]

Section the rear! make it work, itll compliment the whole kit.

Are you going to do dual exhausts too?

Yes that is the plan, the problem is that doing a fuel cell setup is a lot of work and I will have hardly any time to do it once the car is out of the body shop. I'm probably going to try and fake a dual with tips, kind of like how ls460 tips are built into the bumper. I maybe also hold off and create a single exit exhaust rear bumper with the Spirit Rei miyabi 180sx rear. I like the look of that one a lot more.

Wheel specs are 18x12.5 -44 rear, 18x10 -14 front with 20mm spacer (-34 effective). IIRC, the S14 FLCA pushes out the track a bit as well. Anyone know the exact amount?

[alexisthemovie]

I wasn't really feeling how the front bumper was turning out so I created a mockup again in photoshop, showed my body guy, then had it redone. Originally, the bodylines were slanting down and I really really did not want my bumper to suffer from the same thing as the original where it appears to be sagging due to sloping bodylines. The other problem was that the entire bumper was pretty much half an inch off the ground and keep in mind the whole drivetrain isn't even in yet - basically it would've been undriveable so I had the entire bottom section "lifted". The sides were done via cutting, and the middle part was sectioned, pulled in (no more sharp angle), then fiberglassed together.

https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/q77/s720x720/988250_10151564633798004_25012151_n.jpg

[alexisthemovie]

Good progress on the front bumper. Bottom got lots of work, added in body line underneath the headlight. We also added some filler to the fender/bumper gap and I'm trying to decide how I want to re-do that area. The line you see is sharpie'd in.

https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/q73/s720x720/1005762_10151573526308004_989742750_n.jpg

[05subysti]

The sharpie line is where the bumper and fender will mount up?

And body work looks great!

Make sure you tub your bay.

All this detail without tubs will make your bay look like something's is missing.

Had to re-install the coilover rings and raise the car like 2+ inches in preparation for getting it on the trailer. I didn't want to have to install and line up the bumpers and sideskirts myself later on so this just makes more sense to do.

Will you be keeping the chicken wire on the bumper? I think it would look better painted black or another dark color.

I'm going to paint it matte black. Not sure why the bodyshop didn't do it but its not difficult so I'll do it myself.

Words can't even describe the craziness that this car is becoming.
I don't want you to finish it, because I think I'll have a heart attack from the amazement.

I agree the upper door line should have been filled. It kinda looks out of place now. And is this going to be a hard parked car? Nothing wrong with it but I just figured I'd ask referring to the decision to mold those rears on.

is it gonna be ready for the K1 meet?

Dyin' to see this car finally come together!

Instead of shaving that line and making the car look plain, I did my best to make it flow (fender vent lined up, line blended into quarter panel). Also, I think it's kind of ghetto to not mold on overfenders - just my opinion though.

As for being hard parked... well I did not build it for show but time will be the teller of what I end up using the car for. Mainly, I wanted to be happy with the way it looked first because that's what motivates me to drive it rather than let it sit in my shop. Free time even on weekends is a rare thing but I'd love to take it on a nice weekend drive up in the mountains with friends and maybe do some open drifting events once in a blue moon. I don't intend to smash the car into anything if that is what you're implying.

[SupaDoopa]

Yeah, that's kind of what I was getting at. The rears normally aren't molded on so they're easier to derivet, fix underlying damage, and replace them if needed. Molded on rears is kinda fingers crossed no one is stupid enough to hit you or you have TOO much fun and tap something. Granted it's fixable, just more hassle.

Regardless, the car looks stellar. I can't wait to see it sit on it's wheels you intended for it. Any ETA on that even if it's just a side profile teaser?
