NOt unusual tho there is Unreal car scene here nothing like it used to be but still a serious amount of quality s chasis and other Jap motors around

cheers Man

haha ya ill leave them rants for another thread

No idea man

Cheers

Thanks man had a few attempts on them, happy with how they came out but i would be happy to get another set of Fenders and Exercise what i learned as i did the first set,

well sort out the Engine and bay is next but that might be till next year as ill be going back to Austraila Soon so ill have to park this up again for another year. but was wondering what the Veilside wheels would look like all polished up, as i would Consider doing that to the wheels on the car, so got one of my 18x11 -30 wheels and whent to town on them






Like it but Looking at them now dont think it would suit the look of the car so When it comes to a wheel change i think ill just respray the centers a Deep purple.

ali-d1936

anyhow Delighted after a very long search i finally got the D-max front wings :P
turned up with no damage witch was a nice suprise




very good quality, and a very good fit, spent a few hours taking off the old wings tidying up behind them, then fixing on the new ones





happy out with them give good clearance and should look good once i get the rear overs on, if i get them on before i leave that is :P might have to wait till sometime in 2014 :P

ali-d1936

just a few quick pics after a wash,

ali-d1936

Now the overfenders...

the only alternative i had was buy 50mm overs and pinch them to 65mm, but dont like the way they come out so much a the top if you get me.

i spent alot of time on them getting them just right, but now i offered them up today as i was about to belt ahead and fit them and im having second thoughts,

what to people reckon? do they look a bit ****? should i do them again but start the pull higher up the arch?

im only going to be fitting them once and get the car resprayed, so need to decided if i like them or not before i pull the trigger.












All Opions and Views appriciated

i like the sleek classy look. I think you should fill in the front overs. Keep the simple look(less is/can be more).

but nice car.

Looks amazing mate, I love the rear fenders, keep up the good work.

ali-d1936

I defanatly wont fill the vents on the d-max wings, but while waiting to find them over 2 months i nearly bought other 20mm wings and fill in the vents on them as they had a diffrent design, but these showed up just in time and Im very happy With them


Cheers man you need to get a thread up on yours on here! its looking really good! great choice in wheels i think we should arrange a small s15 meet sometime there are 4 or 5 quality s15s withing a couple hours of eachother

richmond82

this is what you car looks like when you use it every day




gave it a wash and took spme pics some ****er put there foot through the Vertex ridge front bumper last week when it was parked up so its in about 6 diffrent peices, its repairable but it will take a while what a waste of E300 :/ cant have anything these days Jelous ****s

so i lobed on the Spare Vertex for now.













should be looking a lil diffrent in 2 weeks time

can anyone Edit the last photo to show the wheels better? i love the picture but the wheels spokes are all fuzzy in it :/

chank

pretty sure i'm in love with your car. Looks great man!

ali-d1936

Well where do i Start, The Fun with the car was short lived..

around the end of march a weird noise started comming from the clutch or course me being me i didnt check it until it went with a Bang LOL

after alot of thinking i didnt want the hassle of bringing it to a garage and thought sure fuck it i may aswell give changing the Clutch a go myself bar changing a engine in a shitty golf a few years ago iv very little mechanical expeirence but im willing to learn



got it up

was getting really pissed at this stage LOL



took out the Pressue plate to be greated by a barrage of springs falling all over the floor >



but not one to miss a oppourtunty i bought myself a Early birthday present
Exedy 3puck



At this stage thing where going good, but in the back of my head i couldnt figure out how the Clutch Went after only a easy 25K ???

after Digging for a month i found out what was Wrong,

when they changed the Clutch last, they used a s14 solid flywheel to replace the s15 Dual mass flywheel, this would have been ok if they fitted a 5speed gearbox,
but the spline from the 6 speed box is shorter than the 5 speed one, as a result the gearbox spline was bearly making full contact with the clutch and it had no spigot bush to rest on, so all the flex and play (and trust me there is alot of play in a sr20 box) was transfered to the Clutch disk so now i have the proper flywheel on order it will be here next week and i can get abck on the Road

so while im waiting i Treated myself:
Well decided id splash out and get a GTS-T break set up, im not so happy with the fronts as id like something bigger but i know that when i get the car back up and running the s-body Front calipers will be seized again so i though my as-well treat myself and save the headache of trying to free them again

is everything i need here for the Conversion?


this will hopefully be her last weekend like this



Then Today:
what started out as a change the Front breaks to the Skyline ones got a bit out of hand today



Decided to Pull off everything and properly under seal inside the Arches, then decided to Strip the coilovers and Check everything and give them a good copper Grease again


cannot recomend this stuff enough, i copper Greased these 2 years ago and they came apart easy as today :wink:



Back to the Breaks... im Ordering Braided Lines off Driftworks... now i was told ill need GTST lines.. but the lines that came with my calipers are really Short


Compare to the S15 ones that are on the Inside of this Photo.


If im getting the lines should i be looking for s15 Front ones and R33 gtst Rear ones?

Motary

Awesome s15

ali-d1936

Cheers Man

ali-d1936

been a busy few days i finally pulled the fingure out this week and hope to have it through the Test next week sell the golf and get back in this

i pulled out the rear coilovers and split, tested, cleaned, copper-greased, and Rebuilt them.


so they are all 100% and im thinking of selling them up and getting something else need them to pass the NCT first tho :wink:


started on the Breaks fronts where a peice of piss, straigtht swap using the old breaklines



then onto the rears

before:


comparision


During:


After :wink:




Then decide to give the headlighs a quick spruce up, this was after a was all dull looking


sanded them down with 1000, 1500 and then 2000 and 2500 grit paper, and buffed them up with some polish i found lying around and buffed them up, pictures dont show how much better they look but its a big diffrence!!



Then finally my Driftworks super fly Flywheel came at long last not bad ordered it Friday through Wesley keating, he saved me E60 on the price of it and it landed this morning, ya cant ask for better service than that!!




Everything stacked up and Waiting for one of the lads with a Clutch centering tool to give us a hand fitting the clutch and it will be under its own power by the weekend hopfuly :afro:

Oakville

those wheels and that spoiler are KILLER. So awesome.

Excellent clutch choice. Ran the same one in my s13 few years ago. Very good pedal feel and tuns of grip

DialedLife

Wow that is a crazy nice car. s15s have always been kind of ugly to me for some reason, but this ones changed my mind on them

ali-d1936

thanks guys,

cheers man,

well i really wanted to move the Loom as alto it was pulled up over the metal guard the Wheels are so Wide that they where rubbing on the Rubber grommet where the loom enters the cabin, i had the dash pulled out but was too afraid to Go disconnecting the loom incase i break something LOL so after dieing with a hangover all day, i had a couple kopperbergs and at around 9 o clock at night was a bit tipse i though fuck it just get it done!!
couple hours later and bobs your uncle Fannys your at Loom Mover never to be in the Way again
ready for surgery



Cabin was in a bit of a state lol



As it started note where the Bonnet release cable is, it was getting eaten by the tyre too


so i disconnected the cable, re routed it through the engine bay and drilled a new hole higher up and connected it back up


Got brave with the 3 1/4 whole saw bit and Drilled a hole for the loom


you can see old hole Vs new hole,


the finished Article



For anyone who wants to do this go for it its a peice of piss!!

this is what you need to Disconnect the cable to the steering colum and the 5 conectors on it


this top connector take the connector at the back of it,


these two connectors on the Fuse board


and another Black plug on the back of the fuse board,


and this big white block connector


then pull out your loom re route and plug back in 2 hour job just need to fill up the two gaping holes now

well spent all today fixing up all the random fiberglass bumpers i have lying around. really makes me hope that the standerd bumpers suit this and im well over this fiberglass craic for a while.

painted up the new skyline breaks and polished the lettering thanks to d-turbo-lawwwwwdddddd for the paint i seen his and really wanted that shade of red






met kruizer during the week and he suggeated that i fiberglass up the hole for the old looms seems alot easier than plating it or fitting and sealing grommets so 2 layres of fiberglass in and outside. paint then waxoil and its water tight

before



after.



them polished the lips on the wheels wound down the coilovers as low as possible for the craic and took her out. im going to have to remove locking collers up front to get the height i want but the back is perfect right now



offered up the aero skirts looking good sofar



and offered the old bumper up after a lot of repair work incase i go back to the kit

ali-d1936

I really didnt want one... but you cant pass them up can you :O

aero front bumper ...

ali-d1936

well after 5months in the shed its finally back... alot of it due to lazyness on my part and generally losing total interest in the car but after having a terrible few weeks i decided to get it back in a roadworthy condition and passed the nct wednesday so spent this evening putting the aero on and the wheels coilovers arms ect still have to put the mesh and foglights in the grills, fit and paint the spats and fit my exhaust along with a few other touches

home from the NCT


so here is v5.0 of my s15

spat is just taped on for the mo










had to move the lockign coller to the bottom of the shock to get it sitting just right

Oakville

I love how the car used to look, I must say it looks amazing as well now! Very nice.
