Just went through this entire thread. Very nice work dude, the entire build is awesome!

Hot diggity dog! Luv it...not a fan of the bashbars blockn intercoolers, cause im a fanboi n luv seeing big front mounts lmao(doesnt sound right) but this car is minty!!

This thing is rad! The headliner is just the icing on the cake for me. Well done!

Thanks man, appreciate the kind words.

I mean theres plenty of intercooler to go around...besides factory bumper support wouldn't allow for 4" intercooler.

Thank you sir, appreciate it.

Update 12/3/20

A good buddy of mine was selling his old set of S15 rear seats for cheap so I picked them up. I used my bissell to clean them first, then used fabric accents dye on them and they came out stellar. So much I am going to do my R32 seats next.

Added in an additional relay for the fuel pump signal using the stock signal wire for fuel pump on to be my trigger and used larger wire going to the walbaro 525.

Rear speakers are in and deck lid installed. Started to clean up the tail light wiring in the trunk with new push clip zipties and nice fabric sheathing.

I purchased a broken yet authentic Nismo old logo RHD S14 gauge holder from a member on here. I tossed the 100mm gauge and my awesome buddy at BreakBeat made me a custom adapter to fit my 52mm Defi boost gauge. I used JB weld to reinforce the fractured area, then used JB weld to put M5.8 nuts on the inside to give me mounting areas for tabs to secure the holder to the door card.

Finally got around to getting the Sikky sway bar and CTSV calipers powder coated. I took a risk on the color and it came out so perfectly I couldn't have taken credit for it going any better.

Immediately of course, I had to rebuild them and get them laced up with new stickers and lines.

https://i.imgur.com/dz798r9l.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/USZJgVOl.jpg

The CTSV calipers came loaded with rotors and pads in good condition, just some surface rust on the rotors from sitting. So I took them to work and sandblasted them then turned them on my machine. Rotors are now good to go for install.

I went ahead and purchased a Greddy Gracer lip for the front end since I feel it needs some more flare to go with the rest of the body. Going to pick that up Saturday and then get JP to paint it along with my caliper crossover tubes. Goal is to get the kouki rear bumper/valances, brakes, sway bar all on this weekend. Well see how it goes :keke:

Nice update!! Always been a fan of the greddy lip, I'm excited to see it on your car

whered you get the push style zipties?!?!

Got a good update for you don?t worry :coolugh:

Amazon, eBay, just about anywhere online.

Update 12/12/20

I wanted to get to this sooner but Zilvia is having malfunctions making me worry I'm writing this all for nothing :wtf:

Anyways...

Sikky sway bar is mocked up for now, loving the contrast in colors now. Had a friend make me up some purple Sikky stickers to still show some love.

JDM rear bumper finally installed, absolutely loving the look with the rest of the aero now. I do have the valances which will be going on very soon.

https://i.imgur.com/t3Iiul9l.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/ajMmHVrl.jpg

As promised...the Greddy Gracer lip arrived. However, what would you expect from my build yet if you didn't see something brand new get cut up? I knew from the start the center would have to be altered due to the bash bar and intercooler setup.

After the chop shop, JP blessed me once again with the purple man eater treatment.

Flashback: To when I installed the G2 Carbon CTSV swap brackets. The fitment is horrible, puts caliper far off the rotor contact area by a long shot. Decided to switch back to CTSVswap brackets since now on GKTech V4 knuckles. I did in fact have to still modify both the CTSVswap bracket and the GKTech V4 knuckles to fit the setup correctly. Overall its minimal in areas not stressed and the outcome is exactly as I wanted. Also wrapped the Chasebays tucked brake lines in the vulcan black sleeve to keep everything nice and protected.

Gracer lip got installed tonight! Ran out of light for better front photos. Maybe tomorrow when the other brake setup goes on.

Also got my Rize Titanium bonnet prop rod in, many thanks to Jesse Streeter for coming through.

Plan of attack for tomorrow is the passenger side brake setup then I can put Dot 4 fluid in and bleed both the brake and clutch system.

MIGHT BE ABLE TO MOVE IT AROUND THIS WEEKEND!!!!! :gives:

Need an update

Oh man I?ve updated a lot just not here, LS gets no love from the purist fucks haha. I?ll get some on here, it?s running and street tuned. Should be ready for streets by next month.

Car is awesome! Well done! :bigok:

Update 1/2/21

Lets get some more LS hate stewing in here shall we. I was extremely satisfied with the way my rear S15 seats turned out so I decided to give my driver R32 seat a go.

https://i.imgur.com/ycOfwTUl.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/zTrpg4ol.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/glNPesol.jpg

Decided to go with some neat S14 optional goodies now that I'm on the other side of the center console. S14 knee pads :keke: Only have one on here, working on the other.

I've been working non stop on wiring all the additional lighting package, switches, and just other misc stuff. Found a cool switch off amazon for the louvers and installed the Breakbeat garage pod holder on my cluster surround.

Got a new clutch bushing for the pedal since mine was missing, huge improvement on the feel I cant wait to take it out.

https://i.imgur.com/Zx1B4Rnl.jpg

Bought some STI rear calipers off Bernie and immediately had to destroy them. Sandblasted them at work, blew them apart and will drop them off with the roll cage for the final powder coating.

Somehow I managed to impress some people over at K&N so they sponsored me in a way? Sent me a bunch of free stuff in exchange for a few photos. Either way, pretty cool others appreciate the work involved.

Heres how the car currently sits. I have got the base map loaded on however I am waiting for 1000cc injectors in the mail from Link. Aiming to get an alignement this week and then I will be finally testing it around my street. I had to extend many of the custom rear tail harnesses that I got from a buddy since I have no idea where they mounted the show mode switches and with all of them connected it would have placed it right in the center of the trunk.

Tomorrow I will finish the tail light install, gauge cluster surround, and run the louver power switch in the center console area. After I finish the tails, I can install fatmat in the trunk area and put my lrb speed trunk floor pan in. It’s just small things at this point until I can get the car fully on the road and final tune.

https://i.imgur.com/ZIPYkdDl.jpg

Is this a real silvia now then?? LOL

Na haha, but the purists can eat their fucking heart out :cj:

This is looking great! So jealous of those louvers

Thank you man, appreciate the kind words. The louvers and sills were less than perfect but they cleaned up nicely and the new EL strips make a world of difference.

Update 1/5/21

Small update photo wise but I was able to make huge progress on the drivability of the car this weekend.

I finally lengthened all the tail light harnesses for the show mode switch boxes and got the trunk interior completely setup and ready to go . It was an absolute mess so I feel a huge weight lifted from me now that this is done.

https://i.imgur.com/QJcLqdgl.jpg

My Breakbeat garage gauge pod for the AFR looks fantastic so happy I was able to grab some before he ended his venture for now in our chassis. All the lights are now functional so I will be installing the driver seat Thursday along with the steering column surround. I cut my brand new RHD dash cover for the HUD and its being hemmed should be back soon.

https://i.imgur.com/IxkrFQ1l.jpg

Alignment is this Thursday, then the car will get off the wood blocks and first drive around the block will be this weekend!!!!!!

Hell yeah!! Congrats!

Dude this build is insane! Wow, huge amount of work! I really dig the color as well.

Also, thanks for the small tidbit on the clutch pedal bushing! I didnt know that was a thing, my pedal has always had play and I didnt know why

Thanks man, car has some sort of spark issue I suspect I have to figure out.

Thank you! No problem I try to share as much as I can with whoever needs it on here.

Update 1/10/21

So I was able to get the mobile guy to come out and do my alignment. Car is now straight and wheel is in correct orientation.

https://i.imgur.com/bCrhZmhl.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/nLmWqxil.jpg

I got my dash cover back from the seamstress, got the hole for the HUD fixed up.

https://i.imgur.com/HZphUvIl.jpg

Installed a nice radio in the car once I got the replacement OEM factory female plugs and cigarette lighter plug since that was one of the areas on my clip they cut off.

https://i.imgur.com/P84yXjLl.jpg

Spent most of yesterday finishing up the dash and getting the rest of the trims installed. Dont mind the older shift knob, its only for testing this thing around until its ready for the new knob. The louver switch bezel arrived from an awesome dude I found who 3D prints little parts for different cars.

Car has some sort of starting issue at the moment, its cranking and I have fuel pressure but I'm not sure on spark. I will dig into it more tomorrow once I go back but I am really trying to get it driving by Monday, for now here are how most of the setup looks.

https://i.imgur.com/okAx2CPl.jpg

Update 1/21/21

The damn thang finally made it out on its own power and it felt amazing!!! Obviously it has some hiccups that need to be sorted out but just to feel the cars new power band and all the modifications that were made after this last year and a half.

The new Bosch 1000cc injectors finally showed up, I installed them yesterday along with the tophats to fit my setup.

https://i.imgur.com/nyac4bpl.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/nhpz7bZl.jpg

Also got around to installing the other portion of the knee pad set to the door panel. Using 3M tape it feels extremely sturdy. Will have to keep an eye on it as the days go by to make sure it doesn't sag or fall.

https://i.imgur.com/IMmIPSZl.jpg

Car will be getting the updated map for the new injectors tomorrow and my tuner will adjust it off the data log thats been recording in my little drives. Ill update this if I see any bumps otherwise its back on road :coold:

Wow. Congrats, brotha! Nice to see it out in the open and driving.
The purple paint really pops. Fantastic.

This is sick!

Awesome. Been waiting for this one to finish.

Thank you! I thought so too it?s awesome how it looks completely different during the day and night.

Thank you! I still have to finish up the interior but thrilled to be on home stretch. The altezza is up next on the chop block haha.

Me too man! Haha once I can drive it around more I?ll be able to figure out everything. The car needs to go back to the body shop and the tune will be in February if all goes as planned. Rear brakes and cage powder coat work is up next on things to do.

incredible build! your attention to detail is awesome, great to see it on the road!

And barney is out on the streets now lol

Thank you man!! I?m thrilled myself! Hopefully I?ll get some quality photos and no more iPhone potato lens.

Bring your Pokemon and we?ll snap some pics this weekend :snoop:

Update 1/22/21

Car got the map updated for the 1000cc injectors this morning and all went well! Data logging is turned on and this weekend I?ll be giving it all the smoke. Also gonna aim to get the rear valances mounted up. Will have more updates soon :).
