Alex's S13 Odyvia Coupe Build - Page 3 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

HiddenCharacter · 03-08-2013, 12:43 AM

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

alexisthemovie · 03-08-2013, 03:50 PM

More from yesterday:

Front wheel test fit (19x9.5 -21 with 20mm spacer and S14 LCA = 19x9.5 -51)

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.

I can't wait to have Brembos on, these Z32's looks so puny!

Porking

With no patience, I went out and bought some new Godspeed V2 toe arms which are bent for subframe clearance. Installed one side.

Dutchmalmiss · 03-08-2013, 04:48 PM

Jesus Christ. I love this.

alexander240 · 03-08-2013, 04:50 PM

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

rawgarage · 03-08-2013, 04:57 PM

daily progres... keep it going

angeldunk707 · 03-08-2013, 05:53 PM

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.

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.

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.

What brand are the rears? And whats the poke(mm) of the odyvia front fenders?

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

alexisthemovie · 03-09-2013, 01:48 PM

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.

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.

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.

Since the front tire tucks in, I had to unbolt the fender from the bottom just to get the wheel onto the hub.

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

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.

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 · 03-09-2013, 06:34 PM

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

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

Lower than that? I can't wait for this

One of the best looking Coupe! Even in the current state

Idahos13 · 03-15-2013, 03:55 PM

I'm happy to see some solid progress. This thing is tits! Keep up the great work man!

rawgarage · 03-18-2013, 07:15 PM

Keep it up

idahotuner · 03-18-2013, 07:29 PM

i love a wide body haha, but only on cars

Blu813SD · 03-18-2013, 07:36 PM

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

Mastermind Edition Odyvia Fired Up - YouTube

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

rawgarage · 03-21-2013, 06:06 AM

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.

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.

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.

Hlsilver · 03-21-2013, 08:29 PM

Normally I skim through build threads just to waste time.
I'm not normally one who's big on deep lips and all that....but this is NUTS.
Insane build. I thought I liked coupe's before...
Can't wait to see this finised
