Big spec build - the nissan s15 silvia

[BakemonoRicer]

I picked up the S15 back in 2012 from a 50 yr old lady owner who had owned the car since brand new.

The subframe came out in 2015...adding in Yanack solid diff bushes & solid rear knuckle bushes, Nismo reinforced subframe bushes & LCA's to compliment the HKS/Ikeya Formula suspension setup (which was installed near the start of the build). The standard clutch let go fairly early on and it was replaced with an ORC 559 twin plate solid centre clutch.

The rear guards were rolled to accept a set of VOLK TE37SL's 17x9 +22. With the AD08R's these mods transformed the look & handling of the car. The bootlid is a carbon piece from Sunline Racing. It replicates the factory structure and as a result is bloody expensive at $3k.

I'd accumulated a heap of parts from Japan and after taking the car off the road in Nov 2015 I got to work installing all the bits & pieces. The pictures below show the stage I reached before me & an engine builder mate decided to take off the head off & send it to NAPREC in Japan for a full big valve build. More to come later
