Updated Widebody/S15 conversion pics - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

status:one · 11-20-2006, 08:11 PM

Wassup guys, I'm more of a lurker on this forum, but I thought I might change that and start a thread showing you all my project in progress.
Currently building a 93 S13 hatch with full (front/rear) S15 conversion.
I know conversions are not always appreciated by all, but I thought there may be a few of you out there who might like whats in the works.
The metal fenders used for the rear wide-body were cut off from a Porsche 944 and we used the lines on the top of the fender to go with the S15 tails. The new fenders are significantly wider than stock, but are not by any means gaudy and in my opinion flow well with the lines of the car.
Anyway, enough of the introduction speech... here are a few progress pics: (sorry for the shitty quality on some of them)

dsr240sx · 11-20-2006, 08:32 PM

wow, thats exciting

wrapmeup2005 · 11-20-2006, 09:11 PM

Looks very good. Keep up the good work! And good job on doin the rear fenders right!

Team Rootbeer · 11-20-2006, 09:29 PM

cool.

good sheet metal work. you do it? or are you having a body shop do it?
either way, cool shit.

koukimonster139 · 11-20-2006, 09:35 PM

not bright orange/yellow/riceblue etc....

Nachtmensch · 11-20-2006, 09:37 PM

I feel the same way. Choosing the paint is really difficult. I really don't want a loud/flashy color because I think it will take away from the bodywork. The car will be unique enough as it is so I don't need flash paint for the car.

There are a few colors i have in mind... but very difficult to choose.
I am going to leave the apillars/roof gloss black though.

Thanks for all of the positive feedback!

koukimonster139 · 11-20-2006, 10:24 PM

id go silvermoss. something calm and collected, maybe a light silver met. or light brown met.
hell i dunno. nice handywork tho.

'90RPS13 · 11-20-2006, 10:29 PM

^~~~I am with him. Silver Moss or a the lighter money green color. Cant wait to see it done! *a

blu808 · 11-20-2006, 10:30 PM

I vote silver moss.

Nice work. but why a s13? if it were an s14 chassis it would look almost spot on.

rolloverboi · 11-20-2006, 10:37 PM

sick ass car ! ! !

I think it would look better on a S13 IMO...you can create the lines to flow better than a S14. Also I think the same design team for the S13, created the S15 (not the S14)...so you can see some similarities in terms of dimensions.

Good work on the rear fenders I never seen that before and so far nobody in the states (that I know of) has done it right.

I vote for pearl white or a silver with some pearl in it.

What's the deal with the S14 in the background?

status:one · 11-20-2006, 10:54 PM

Thanks!

Yeah, i have been thinking about doing a pewter color... maybe with some added pearl... decisions decisions.

ayuaddict · 11-20-2006, 11:03 PM

wow. good shit. much much better than all the other crap ass S15 "conversions" great work! cant wait to see the finished result.

status:one · 11-20-2006, 11:07 PM

I agree with you SimpleS14... i think the diagonal lines of the S15 and S13 hatch are very similar... i think the profile of the S14 is a lot more horizonal in relation to the S15 and the S13. I think you can mainly find this by looking at the bottom of the rear windows.

Rear quarter panel lines underneath the window are very similar.
This is one of the reasons why I'm leaving the apillars and roof black on mine.

deadpirate · 11-20-2006, 11:10 PM

that car is gunna be sick bro...keep us posted on the build

*NemeGuero* · 11-20-2006, 11:11 PM

Nice job. I'm EXTREMELY jealous of your velocity horn..

d*star180 · 11-20-2006, 11:15 PM

Wow.....
I usually hate conversions. But this is actually being done right. THe back looks good. Quarter panels dont look like bondoed bullshit. VEry good work.
+1

Mark350GT · 11-20-2006, 11:18 PM

I've seen it in person. The shop that is doing it painted my G35. the guys is a perfectionist to say the least

Farzam · 11-21-2006, 02:59 AM

Seriously.
If I had money.
I'd buy this car off of you.
For a lot.

Good shit.

<--Dreams of an s15.
