S15 Silvia - My new project.

[chopaholic]

After months of looking at S15's and trying to convince myself I didnt need one, I just had to get one... So spotted this for sale down south, left for Tralee at 9am yesterday morning and never managed to get home until 3am.

The car is an S15 Silvia Spec S.

Quite pleased with the car for the money, it needs a small tidy up and a good wash, excuse the stupid inovite wheels and lexus lights, they will be the first items removed. :L

Here is some pictures taken this morning, no time to wash it or anything.

and I guess I should show what I bought earlier on in the week for it also, a Toyota 1JZ conversion with front sump. :up:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/chopi04/b941647e.jpg

First step is to get a manual gearbox for the 1JZ and get the car cleaned up a bit.

Now, time to try and do some sleeping in work.

[Kruizer]

Congrats lad, you finally found one... Best of luck with the 1JZ conversion...

[Hakosuka]

Looking forward to seeing what you do with this... Should be epic judging by your last build!

[galway joey]

nice motor, if shes anything like the purple one when finnished should be very cool....

[-BigDave-]

This was in tralee?? I never seen it before must have been in hiding ha!

[jordy]

[grange]

[chopaholic]

Bought a new bumper for it today on eBay as the old one had a few cracks and marks on it, got lucky and managed to get a pearl white one for decent money.

Integra Lip is finally on its was from England, should be here in a day or two.

Started giving the headlights a clean up today as they have the old nasty yellow frosted look to them, done one side to see how it would turn out, will do the other side through the week.

[-BigDave-]

[chopaholic]

This arrived the other day as a donor for the gearbox, managed to pick it up for £700 delivered to my door (From London) which was a bargain considering the price of these gearboxes now days.

[Steve_S15]

This will be mental! :) Great to see a halfords style sufferer being saved from the dead and being brought back to life! Fair play dude

[andy.]

this will be a great car when its finished!

[chopaholic]

Thanks guys, I took the headlights out of the car and sanded them starting with 1200 and going right up to 2000 grit, I then used some buffing compound and buffed and polished them! Fairly easy, didnt take to long to do it either.

More to come soon, going to test fit the 1JZ. :D

[sheepos15r]

Turned out very well did you sand by hand or with a sander

[B&G Extreme Drifting]

savage project man, the photo with sr getting the fingers is priceless :) :)

[chopaholic]

Turned out very well did you sand by hand or with a sander

Just by hand so you can get into all the wee bits on the light mate.

[Maloney]

[sheepos15r]

Any updates for me horse how's she coming along

[chopaholic]

Thanks for the reply's guys, things have been slow for a little while, will hopefully be picking up the pace from here.

New front mount arrived.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/chopi04/IMG_1309.jpg

Bought some new wheels, SSR Professor SP1 - 17x10 ET16 and 17x9 ET16, very good condition however I will be getting them stripped and polished instead of black.

http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/Speedlineimports/DSC_0357.jpg

Finally got my oil returns sorted, cut, moved and tig welded. Fits like a glove now :)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/chopi04/IMG_1337.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/chopi04/IMG_1338.jpg

Next on the list is sorting out the engine bay, needs a few small patches welded in and it will be getting a nice fresh coat of paint, its then time to put the engine in :)

More soon..

[aka pete]

besta luck with new project choppy, loved the last one, jz will be class in the 15, i actually think the ssr's look cool in black

[Kruizer]

Looking very well lad, keep up the good work !

[Bug Tub]

Remember this was for sale not long ago, Should be some yoke when its finished.
Where did you source the integra lip and does it fit that bumper???

[chopaholic]

Thanks guys! The itr lip needs extended slightly to fit its only a few cm out, I bought it from a guy on eBay and extended it myself!

[Kyle 180sx]

Cant wait to see the end results! Keep us updated

[broad.sideways]

best of luck with the build man. ur 180 was epic. cant wait see end result of this

[sheepos15r]

[chopaholic]

Any. updates man itching to she how you're getting on any pics with the wheels fitted

Haha I always seem to have updates of some description when you post ;) Thanks mate.

Anyway...

Got a new downpipe and elbow for the turbo's, took a little bit of work to get it to fit but I got there in the end.

Mount fouled the new elbow sightly so had to trim it down a bit, painted them silver at this point also.

http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s720x720/399566_10151980635080374_394027050_n.jpg

A few bits and bobs.

http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/s720x720/295307_10151875482395374_2107381218_n.jpg

SSR's still in need of the centres stripped and polished.

Test fit on the car, obviously need alot less tyre and some arch roll with alot more lows.

http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/s720x720/557344_10151990580660374_1566089070_n.jpg

Quick test of the paint on the engine bay before it got welded up.

Its actually alot more green than the photo shows, its pretty much exactly the colour from the side of this bus.

http://www.oxford-chiltern-bus-page.co.uk/upload200305/Ulsterbus-704-r300-Aldergrove%20Airport-140305.jpg

Engine bay is now all welded up thanks to my mate Derek, done a fab job which I will get pictures up of soon.

New steering wheel should be here mid week and hopefully have my Kevlar Brides ordered soon also.

[chopaholic]

Got the engine bay painted at long last, me and my mate Jordy spent about 10 hours today taking it through the stages, very happy with the outcome, the paint is like a mirror with very little imperfections - Not bad for a DIY job.

Rubbed down and still being stripped.

Looking forward to seeing the finished car.

[chopaholic]

After a long time without an update I have the car back running thanks to Richard bradley for the hard work, everything is pretty much good to go, only have a slight clutch issue which I can hopefully get sorted soon.

And a small video of it running.

S15 1JZ - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7ruqm_kSXE)

A few minor issues to sort out before I can drive it right, the clutch master cylinder needs modified and the exhaust needs to be slightly higher.

Huge thanks to Richard Bradley for the top quality work getting all the bits and pieces I couldnt do done for the car.

More to come soon.

[ali-d1936]

Good to See it up and running lad, this is doing bad things for my want of putting a 6cyl in my yoke, Ya still going for meisters?

[chopaholic]

Good to See it up and running lad, this is doing bad things for my want of putting a 6cyl in my yoke, Ya still going for meisters?

Cheers man, have the SSR SP1's here in 17x10 and 17x9, however with the exhaust crossing in the middle I cant go low enough, so I am going to try and pick up a set of 18's instead.

[D1SL]

Serious yoke man good luck with it

[chopaholic]

Small update, have the car pretty much back together, managed to destroy my instrument panel in the midst of putting my dash in (Shorted it out or some shit)

Had some problems with the clutch which have now been sorted, removed the pin from the vectra master cylinder, shortened it and threaded it to allow some adjustment, also replaced the fucked up old slave cylinder pin with something a bit longer.

Old left new right.

http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/3489_10152330538750374_871098863_n.jpg

Haha yea man I have seen a few pictures of that car its lovely, the only bit that spoils it is the front lip, half painted it looks terrible.

Not sure if I will keep my ITR lip, going to try and get something a little different as loads of S15's are doing the ITR thing now.

Cheers guys.

[sheepos15r]

Coming along well lad any updates for me ??

[deluca88]

nice bus

[chopaholic]

Right I suppose I better throw some form of an update up, I havent touched the car in recent weeks/months, this has mainly been due to generally being a lazy bastard and working on friends cars lol

I was made redundant from work on Monday so have plenty of time to do the niggly jobs on the cars which I never got at before, I started my quest today and gave the garage a good cleaning to get the S15 back in with a bit of working area for a change.

I started with this, a bit of a crazy mess and yes, the graffiti is there to offend everyone possible.

http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/31920_10152569931455374_449107110_n.jpg

After 4/5 hours of tidying/sorting I had this.

http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/539854_10152569929395374_1285178329_n.jpg

Still have to remove the 7MGTE Engine tomorrow when I get my Engine Crane back. A new lick of paint to cover the walls too.

Anyway, enough of the Garage for now, I test fitted the Volks on the car, as you can see they poke a little, need to get less tyre, some camber and a roll to make them fit a bit better. Car is stinking from laying in a dusty garage for months.

http://i.imgur.com/cTZxJh9.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/Hdo0jwB.jpg

Still having 1JZ idling issues, have a new set of plugs to fit tomorrow, plus a few other bits and pieces which will be included in the next update.

More to come.

[peterhouze]

dc2 front lip now
any plans for the s14

[chopaholic]

dc2 front lip now
any plans for the s14

I have a DC2 lip here which I have extended etc, however I am not sure if I am feeling it or not, I kind of like the idea of something like this colour coded white...

http://www.aerokit.eu/files/product/product-271-4.jpg

As for the S14, I have Navan Skirts and a Kouki spoiler for it, going to paint the TE37's white again and have new stickers and stuff for them. Most likely sell it towards the summer once the S15 is complete.

[peteconneely]

looking well man loving the wheels

[-BigDave-]

Was keeping an eye out for an update on this, good to see you're going back at it.
If you decide against the DC2 lip let me know and I might take it off your hands.

[NissanSilviaLover]

nice clean s15 there lad, i suppose shes a road car couldn't use her on a track to clean to lash around bends. nice shed dose all the wonder when u tidy them u be suprized what space it could achieve.

[mini180sx]

Very nice build car look class....

[WYSIE16]

Savage s15 lad fair play :)..keep us updated

[chopaholic]

Okay, so after a short time of unemployment I have finally got myself into a decent job and things are looking good again, so I decided to treat the S15 to some goodies even though she treats me like shit. lol

I love boxes.

Have the twin turbo's off already which was a complete c*nt, Now I need to get the manifold modified slightly to try and locate the wastegate somewhere as there is no space in the place it is meant to go.

[niall s14a]

What make of stuff did you go for man? Get it all as a package?

[chopaholic]

What make of stuff did you go for man? Get it all as a package?

Naa not a package, all bought from different suppliers, the turbo is a GT35, just Chinese spec but will do the job for me at 1bar.

Need to pull my finger out and get it all fitted up now!

[chopaholic]

Things are starting to shape up, slightly slower than I would have liked but the new job is fairly time demanding.

A quick throw together on the car:

https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/482628_10152793615955374_121080931_n.jpg

Cut and modified the manifold to allow it to fit the huge waste gate in the tight engine bay, Big thanks to Alan Jones (Yogi) for doing some fantastic Tig welding on it, anyone needs anything specialized done he really is the guy to see.

Cut and marked:

https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/163561_10152793227535374_1309380756_n.jpg

Tig welded and braced by Alan:

Finally got the OEM Clutch Cylinder back in, the Vectra one was fucking shit.

https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/945961_10152826036385374_83479217_n.jpg

Upon testing out the Oil feed and return lines with the turbo bolted up I ran into a slight problem, the rubber line for the return would need to pass right through the middle of the manifold which would be useless as the heat would melt it in no time - I decided to whip the welder out and do a little bit of DIY, it was my first time using the welder as it was something I always got others to do and now I am addicted lol

Used an old jack handle, cut it to size and welded/grinded a lip onto each side to allow the rubber pipe to be secured over it making the joint.

https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/922983_10152875833640374_1850351180_n.jpg

Pretty much just left with the exhaust to do now, once I get a bit more gas for my welder I am going to give it a try myself.

Thanks mate, think I am going to try and get a set of 18x10 Gramlight 57s Pros, but would go back to Meisters if the right set came up, the GTC's are just too wide for the back and need too much camber, I also dont want to overfender.

[NissanSilviaLover]

id love that Silvia lol good work.;)

Over the past few weeks I have been working like mad trying to make some decent progress.

Made up my own downpipe/exhaust system, welds are a bit rough and ready but seem to hold just fine.

Straight through, no back box, no silencers.

Had to modify the Vband connection on the turbo to fit right, the jack bar came in handy for a nice round end.

Got the insides of the bonnet, boot and boot floor painted. (Door shuts etc still to be done) The colour is EXTREMELY hard to photograph to make it look right, its actually properly Teal.

and last but not least I eventually started it with the new top mount setup, new IACV too which means it finally revs correctly.

Here is a link to the video, had to turn it off as the oil was started to seep out of the feed (Turned out to not be tightened fully)

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10153040822845374&l=4674758111630412769

Have to tidy up a few silly things and fix a couple of silly oil leaks, needs a pulley on the front as it creaks a little, but other than that she is ready to get mapped.

More updates soon.

Suppose I should really update this..

I haven't really got much looking at the car lately as I have been so busy in work - However busy in work only means one thing and that is more ££.

After much thinking about buying an S14 winter slider I just decided to throw some more money at the S15 instead to try and get it finished.

Started by rolling the arches out like mad to try and make the wheels fit with at least camber as possible, wrecked the arch, got the grinder out and decided I would just over fender the car.

Bought a set of rear fenders which don't fit as well as I would like, I can't be arsed spending the time fixing them so have now pretty much got an order sorted for a full set of Origin fenders, plus roof spoiler.

Through a few panels together to make it resemble a car and give me some inspiration, Camber is currently fully negative with the adjuster bolt out.

Bought a Kaaz 2Way, Skyline Brakes, Solid Bushes and some Kandy Purple paint for the subframe and calipers.

Once all the new parts start arriving the car will be heading down to get painted, hopefully have it almost completed early next year.

[stephen180]

slick build man nice steady progress being made keep the updates comin

[chopaholic]

Got a little busy with the subframe over the past few days, stripped it down, spent a life time taking the stupid original bushes and sleeves out, cleaned it all up, gave it a lick of paint then added the new arms, solid bushes and my 2way diff. Also painted my new R33 Skyline brakes.
Out with the old.

Christmas presents to myself arrived today :)

Rear fenders are here too but nothing to set them on with lol genuine aero is 10000x better than the cheap stuff you get here. HUGE thanks to Alan Mc Crory for getting these sorted for me. First class service from Driftwizards.

Only the front lip to come now to finish the exterior.

As soon as I get the subframe back into the car I will post a picture with it all together at a respectable ride height.

So today I put the subframe back into the car and made it roll again - Awaiting my new Skyline discs/handbrake setup/lines arriving to finish this off.

Added some more strength to the inner of the wings.

So then I decided to throw it all together and see what happens. Its duck taped together, its rough, its dirty, the photos are shit and its many different colours. However its starting to take shape into something cool.

A small update this time.

My Skyline R33 Handbrake setup arrived along with my drilled and grooved discs all around, some nice new braided lines too.

My Skyline calipers painted.

Need to try and get myself some Skyline dust covers for the rear now to finish the brakes.

[Kouki Monster]

the 1j is a serious conversion! love the wheels!

[chopaholic]

So for the first Saturday night in ages I managed to stay in the garage and work on the car.

Had to get the insides of the doors/shuts prepped and painted, also painted the rear panel so the overfenders could be fitted and it wont look as gash when I rip one off.

https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/1525473_10153747512430374_622628667_n.jpg

Came out quite good considering I was only painting at 1:30am.

Have built the doors back up since then, just need to put the windows back in.

It will be away very soon to have the full thing painted, just a few more things to do before that.

[chopaholic]

Booked in for paint next month so had to pull the finger out and start fitting some things properly, rear fenders on. Fairly impressed with the fit from the Origin fenders compared to cheap ones, minimal sanding needed and we were pretty much ready to rivet straight on.
https://scontent-a-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/t1/1621998_10153854962250374_1922151690_n.jpg

Bought myself a little present too... Holset HY35 with a 10cm rear housing, very impressive figures on a 1JZ.

Started fitting the front fenders this evening and should hopefully have them finished towards the end of the week.

[PeterT]

coming together real nice! lookin forward to seeing it done!

[gtra25]

Unreal looking

[chopaholic]

A small update this time, I had planned to get major progress over this weekend with the car but due to me being ill for the past week its been a no go so far.

An issue I needed to address before I went any further was the shifter for the R154, it falls to short of the Sbody tunnel, took the rear section of the box out and took it down to Alan Jones at Coleraine Radiator Centre who as usual left a fantastic job on it.

https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/t1/1979738_10153916852930374_221174376_n.jpg

Once I am feeling a little bit better I have all the bits and pieces ready to go for my new exhaust/turbo setup too. It was meant to be away for paint already but I would like to clear up these minor things first.

[chopaholic]

I have a week off work as I change jobs so decided the only one thing to do was to get cracking on with the S15.

Over the last while I have:
- Re-made the oil return (which is still fecking leaking)
- Rewired and extended the lambda sensor
- Changed the crappy accelerator cable to a nice fresh one from the Supra
- Played about with the FMIC and got it seating better with no rubbing
- Rewired and extended bits of the engine loom protecting them from heat
- Made a screamer pipe
- Finished the downpipe and added a new Lambda hole
- Heatwrapped bits and pieces
- Bought a new radiator as my old one was leaking, had it modified to the same spec and added a bung for a temp sensor
- Bought some expensive ass heat shield stuff

Then today I done this.... Vacuum pipes need setup correctly hence why it idles shit and the exhaust isnt tight, but we have lift off.

An update at long last.

Things are progressing, so much so the car is pretty much ready to rock and roll and ive started tidying up wiring and actually cleaning things.

First of all I was on a mission to sort out issues with the engine not running/revving correctly and running extremely rich, out with the carb cleaner and I discovered a massive leak in the inlet gasket, removed the inlet mani (which is a bastard in the tight engine bay) and replaced the gasket. Problem solved.

When I had it stripped down I removed the turbo and once again made a new turbo oil drain, decided to tig this one up for a bit of a better finish.

Then some parts started arriving to get the final stages of the S15 complete, the boxes contain its brand new front lip, An6 piping and aeroquip fittings to make the power steering line (Turns out the PAS line at the moment is a piece of shit), new clamps for the FMIC piping and an AEM Uego Wideband.

Installed the wideband and decided to re-wrap my downpipe after I welded in the new bung, A full roll of exhaust wrap on this.

Cut some exhaust gaskets down to make some funky Vband gaskets.

Had a hold back with a adapter for the steering rack.

Currently waiting on my Blitz electronic boost controller, a new adapter and a couple of minor things to come before I can actually drive the thing, should hopefully have them all this week!

Another update!

I had to get a new power steering like as one I made up was shit and left a nice mess on my garage floor, so after a quick hunt I found a local farm hydraulic suppliers who knocked me up a fantastic line for minimal moneys. Excuse how terrible the photo is of this!

A boost gauge at long last, sort of running out of places to put gauges at this point!

Got a little creative with a couple of lips from another car and made myself a much sleeker subtle lip for the bumper, need to flush the middle section out but this can be done when the lip is being painted!

And last but not least this happened, which has put an ear to ear grin on my face for the past two days.

A quick burnout, stopped as there was smoke coming from the engine bay which turned out to be my heatwrap bedding in!

Up and down the road in first gear only, metal to metal noise made me stop, turns out my 2 way needs to have a little more backlash!

Both videos are the car running with the boost controller turned down as far as possible - its an animal even still!

Next up is tearing out the diff and re-doing the side shims, finding some handbrake anchors, giving it a once over.

Facebook seems to be being a dick and it seems most of my photos have disappeared.

Anyway a bit of an update, I made some changes to the car, I wasn't settled on the stock front bumper and always wanted an Aero front which as a few people will know are like hens teeth and a pretty pretty penny, when this came up cheap I couldn't resist (Needs a good tidy up).

FINALLY sorted out my shitty idle issue which came down to a faulty alternator which tested good at an alternator place.

After trying a couple of electric fan setups I wasn't content with the shitty cooling they provide, JZ's run serious hot especially when drifting - So I done some rough measuring and got to work with a grinder, since the photos were taken it has been tidy'd up a little with some nice proper fresh brackets and a rubber seal to stop it rubbing through the metal.

Then I had a slight brain wave, I am off work for a week so why not get some progress on the car? With the help of a few mates (mainly @John_MK5 ) we set about trying to get it MOT'd. So on Monday evening we loaded the car up on the trailer and set off for Johns, we had a list the size of your arm when we went at it and very little time to do it.

It got the following:
- New washer jets
- A horn
- Battery box
- Gearstick surround
- Headlights set
- Airbag light turned off
- Viscous fan modification
- Suspension set
- Under sealed
- Fog light
- OEM Seats installed
- Wiper blades
- Drained some oil out (It had way too much oil in it :/)
- New rear anchor bolts fitted
- Handbrake cables secured
- Exhaust modified slightly to clear steering rack correctly
- Bodywork built up correctly
- Cleaned
Plus a few other niggly things.

After we borrowed and stole of various cars belonging to my mates we managed to get it into some orderly fashion.

Went up for the test tonight and passed with flying colours, MOT inspector complimented it and how tidy the engine conversion etc was.

Next up is to strip the diff out of it as the there is a bearing gone which is nasty and noisy and possibly get a look in the box as the release bearing seems to be funky.

After getting a good 40/50 miles gathered up in the car over the past week its made me really fall in love with it, it currently handles like a dog but it goes like shit of a shovel and does good burnouts.

Will try and get a few videos up over the next few days.
