I'm....I'm not sure whether to be impressed, or disgusted.

I agree dose flares are not helping at all.

turboshoebox · 08-18-2015, 11:46 PM

great job on body work...just poor aero decesions

That second picture isn't the same car, it's an actual S15. It looks like the S15 from Ultimate Auto Boutique in Buford, GA. The guy does a lot of custom fiberglass work, and built the entire kit by hand.

I'm guessing that S15 converted S14 was also done by them, and based on the actual S15. He's an extremely talented body/paint guy, but his wife runs the office and is a snake.

Artworks · 08-19-2015, 08:09 AM

thats actually really impressive. apart for the wide body flares

5280VertDET · 08-19-2015, 08:52 AM

I'd fux with that. There a source or price? It will be a moot point in 8-9 years when you can import a legal one.

Ultimate Auto Boutique in Buford, GA. If it's anything like my experience with them, they'll quote you one price, then charge you double when you go to pick up, with the justification that the quote didn't include paint and materials.

Yup. Now that they are legal in Canada, I see S15's daily (along with R34 GT-T and GTR's weekly). Takes the magic out of it a bit, when anyone with 10 grand can buy one.

Would still love a LHD S15 or R34 though. I can see the kit car approach making something actually unique, especially with people moving towards tube chassis S-cars.

9 years is still a long time. you can also have this in cali

silviaks2nr · 08-19-2015, 10:44 AM

s14 is a much prettier car to begin with so I think it's kind of lame. The fact that it has all sorts of scoops and gills and overhangs just makes it even less appealing.

turboshoebox · 08-19-2015, 10:47 AM

Everyone already agrees no to the scoops and flares

turboshoebox · 08-19-2015, 11:55 AM

Lhd is also a big plus

turboshoebox · 08-20-2015, 08:10 PM

Expected more hate tbh

wanna240 · 08-21-2015, 09:36 PM

It kind of looks a bit ricey in my opinion

turboshoebox · 08-22-2015, 04:24 PM

Would u like it more if it didnt have the ugly flares and it was painted

Yeah, shit was on display at Road Atlanta for Formula D, looked good until you got up close and realized it was half kit car. . . lame.

I mean how else would it have been converted if it wasnt half a kit car.

Source OEM sheet metal from Japan. Durrrr.

Kingtal0n · 08-23-2015, 03:19 PM

A local guy near me has an actual S15 that he converted himself to be LHD using a wrecked S14 chassis. It has the S14 vin /dash and everything in the car as well...

Just sayin its possible! Yes officer this here is my S14! No need to wait 10 years!

*brndck* · 08-23-2015, 03:25 PM

sooooooooooo much work. if you've got the time and skill, kudos i guess.

pics??????????

boost · 08-25-2015, 05:47 AM

most of the lhd swap isn't bad. i'd say the part that gets skipped the most is the shifter center console/ebrake area. only because it would have to be a new custom plastic part to look correct. some places in asia have to be lhd so they have no choice but to convert (taiwan, philippines) so there are actually quite a few lhd s15's running around.

Genius. Reminds me of that "240sx with illegal mods" that was CLEARLY an S15 from Fast 5... lol.

Makes me want to go price out an R-spec and cannibalize my S14.
