First Silvia build and possible cost - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Want to build my first car while I'm in waiting to get my license.

I would love to make an S14 or S14.5.

So let's say I start off with just a shell. How much money and time will I have to put into the car?

I want to be sliding this thing around every turn.

Preferred engine: SR20DET

Can anyone help the newbie out?

Get some stiff emusa coils, godspeed arms, turbo kit, some xxrs or rotas and maybe 5 hours of your time installing and youll be the biggest drifter in your neighborhood!

There is no set time, and no set amout of money.. These cars are old and just like anything mechanical, it will breakdown.. Get ready to adjust your life for a lifetime project/s.. Being 15 I don't see you being able to do that unless you come from wealth. Goodluck though.

Slow and steady wins the race. Patience, don't listen to your friends. Do it right, or buy one done right.
