Saw that ! If I were closer, I'd scoop up that drivetrain.

Looks better everyone you post it up

Rear S15 seats! Just needs a good cleaning, a couple stains and little bits of glass still in there. Overall, super nice!

NISSeAN · 08-17-2014, 02:43 AM

Inspiring work man!

1GR-FE · 08-17-2014, 08:39 AM

Nice, last time I saw a coupe that clean it was 1990

Volks · 10-12-2014, 09:28 AM

Some updates!

A nice shot from the local AutoX meet and a video too.

Video

Can't miss an opportunity to admire those brakes.

I got my http://www.clearcorners.com/products/nissan/s13/ lights in. Too a while but it was well worth the wait.

Absolute perfection.

Also completed my super minty S15 interior collection to be installed at a later date.

Too fucking clean. Video isn't working for me. Also, was the S14 subframe swap worth it to you? I also have an S13, and am interested in autocross/road racing.

nissanduster · 10-12-2014, 05:44 PM

Video is fixed! Honestly, I can't seem to notice much of a difference, but I like having it in there. I will say that the extra 10mm on each side really fucked up my wheel choices...........

Unfortunately i'm going to be gone for another 6 months so there won't be updates till after that :| Good news is, that the car will be shipped to the US shortly after I get back! So stoked!!

Just a bit of luck and patience. It took months to source S15 seats worth buying. Took 5 months to get my ClearCorners lights, due to finding the cleanest possible set of lights.

Worry not, I'm not a big fan either! I just wanted something to give me a better sound that stock exhaust. It was cheap and I wanted to hear the engine. It'll be replaced with Tomei Titanium most likely when it hits US soil. Just too expensive to ship exhaust out here in Euro land.

Skip that Idea, go for twin exhaust, 3" or possibly better 2.5" insert a track silencer in one and you will enjoy the sound, you get such a good rasp.

I went for a cheap dual 3" catback off ebay, got racecat, tubular exhaust on sr20, stock cams and all and one insert in one of the exhaust pipes (removing one for tracks after the noise test

)

Got a video of me driving it, keep in mind I didn't have any brakes left, boiled the fuuuck out of them for 3 trackdays and this was the final day so I was braking a lot on the gears, and skip to 2:30 when I actually have some heat in the tires on the rather chilly autumn day

Worth a thought as they are CHEAP!

What do you mean by it fucking up your wheel choices?

supersayianjim · 10-15-2014, 07:46 AM

and... you are saying the s15 back seats are a direct fit in a s13?

Prior to the S14 subframe LM-GT2 17x9 +38mm fit perfectly. Now I can't use my LM-GT2s the same as I did before without jutting out an extra 10mm.

I could use some Enkei RPF1s 17x9 +45mm and more camber, but i'd prefer them to be +50mm but those just don't exist.

Nope. They unfortunately are not a direct drop in, but I do have all the original S15 mounting hardware. So I think I can make it all function as the original seat did.

Volks · 04-14-2015, 02:07 PM

No build updates on the car as I just got back from deployment. It is however going to officially headed to the US within a month! Super stoked!!

....and a snap from our local car meet. So nice.
