That's cool. Thanks for the heads up. I'm torn between chuki & kouki fiberglass skirts.

Are those duraflex fenders? Not sure what brand mine are. They're wide but off. No sidemarkers. No vents. And no s13 body lines on them.

No problem. And yes they are. They do have vents, have the s13 body line , and had a place for s15 markers . I guess the pic doesn't show too well

stev0n · 02-24-2014, 09:28 PM

How wide are they? I think mine are maybe 20 mm or so. But my wheels barely fit under them

I was told they're not wide body but I'm not sure. Had to raise it up
And inch and it won't fit very far over the side wall. I have 17x9.75 527's with 255/40 all around.

mr.nismo. · 02-27-2014, 09:29 PM

Did a few things today.

1. Added brace bar to the hood pin on driver side, no more hood shake at high speeds :-)

2. Added some weather stripping for bumper and lights

3. Added deletes for the side holes in the bumper. Too me looks much better, seals off relays from direct incoming water, and doesn't scream intercooler as much lol

stev0n · 02-27-2014, 10:49 PM

I like the changes! Gives me some ideas.

mr.nismo. · 02-28-2014, 06:28 PM

She sits pretty in the rain

bratz_729 · 02-28-2014, 08:55 PM

Car looks good! I really wanna do a s15 front swap myself. Care to share where you located all the parts?

Pieced from 5 different people across the LA area and headlights from a guy in Minnesota

Kuma · 02-28-2014, 09:02 PM

That's a random place to find some s15 headlights. Digging the front bumper changes.

Yeah but couldn't beat the price shipped in their condition. And thanks man! I like it much better with the deletes in place

mr.nismo. · 03-09-2014, 03:59 PM

Borrowed a Nikon D3100 and took some shots of her today

LuckyRPS13 · 04-13-2014, 09:39 PM

Looks like It is coming together well. I really like how you did the floating hood pins. I am going to copy you on that. Is the plug and play headlight harness working out well for you?

Well except the high and low beams don't work at the same time. Remember when I said my pop up motor harness was super f'd from the PO? Excellent idea to retain function but not for my car lmao. And thank you., they work extremely well with that setup

Rustoleum and yeah if I wet sanded and did more clear it would look like a single stage at least, but doing clear coat out of rattle is such a pain to get even without aerosol lines

So clean! I hate s13.5 but yours turned out awesome! Makes me want to pull the trigger on this front end. I'm still in the air on what I want to do. Sil80 is in favor so far.

Everyone's got their preference. I originally wanted to do s13.4 and thanks

Honestly... Not bad. Get some decent wheels and this thing will be really nice. Paint job looks incredible, too, for a rattle can.

The way the S13 headlight wiring is designed (due to sealed beam lamps) they do not come on at the same time if you just did a direct wire up.

I made a guide on how to get the S15 headlights working as they should on your S13, as this is what I did for my S13.5.

Yeah I realized I would have to add second relays for the high beams. I've just been lazy lol. However looking at how you did it is a way better idea then how I was gonna do it lol

Couple things. One I replaced my shifter to transmission boot. Pretty sure that's what the leak was from so we'll see.

And I got s15 kick plates! I loveeeeee them!

All the tabs on one were broken off so I got a little creative

More updates soon!
