S14.5 Build. Full of pics & shit. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Purchased my S14.5 on November 15,2013 from a shop owner out of Temple, Tx.
Only been about 2 months & some change till this point but figured i would share
some progress/build photo's w/ you all. The overall condition of the vehicle was in
good shape & came w/ a healthy sr20det motor. Here is how it was purchased...

The white paint was a little mis-matched on several panels of the car & had some
damage to drivers side door, a faded carbon hood, & some hail damage on roof of
the car so body & paint work was definitely in the list of things to come.

Wasn't really feeling the front bumper so I ended up purchasing the Vertex-
style bumper.

New Vs. Old

Test-fitted

Then off to the paint shop it went...

Went to the Paint shop to catch some paint booth action. The wing was removed
& trunk holes were filled for a more cleaner look..

Wet Sanded

All done

Time for some wheels. I travelled down to Houston & picked up some
Bronze XD9's 18x10+18 all around w/ 225/40's mounted

Needed some spacer's since wheels would make contact w/ the coil's
so I ended up buying some 15mm spacer's from a local to play it safe.

Since the car was on KYB struts w/ drop suspension springs when
purchased, My next purchase was a set of coilover's. I Had BC's on my
previous vehicle's & they perform flawlessly each time so I went w/ these
over stance.

Puttin dem bitches in..

Playing w/ camber & all that stuff.

Quick shot of the coil's & wheels on. Wheel fitment is not as
shown in picture below. Fixed* More updated pic's to come

^Quality is shit.

Definitely needed some kouki tails to kick off the looks department so
picked some up from another Houston Local. Was fading the common
greyish-purple so I purchased a Black plastic spray paint from Autozone &
refreshed them up..

Perfect.

The Greddy intercooler that came w/ the car was functional but was
hella-bent & banged up so i ended up catching a new one...

ahh much better.

My Work RS lug nuts came in yesterday morning. Thanks to FRSport.com.
Weather has actually been terrible lately in Texas so haven't thrown these
on yet. More parts & update's to come.
