s15 spec s to spec r road car

[dannyc]

Well lads said id put this up here been fairly depressed since I sold my last silvia

So I said Id try and get an s15 as Ive never had one so looked at a few spec R's but they were all seriously rough really was amazed at how rough they were! So mechanic buddy suggested a spec s conversion so I got some info off people on here mostly and decided it was my best bet, so I bought one off here



It was completely standard spec s apart from the 18" rotas which suit the colour quite nicely I reckon. So then the hunt for the conversion bits began and after looking and looking I was lucky enough a local lad who I had contacted about an engine said I could take hes silvia so collected it that night was great piece of mind being able to drive the car home instead of picking an engine off the ground





This had most of the bits I needed including front mount cusco coilovers apex exhaust strut brace wiring loom ecu and all those bits prop shaft etc also had bigger sump the brakes i needed with bigger discs too and manifold

so then the work began



Ive skipped a few steps but thats the sr20det in the 15

cusco coilovers in


sits a bit better now


better stopping from white 14 aswell


Now I started buying bits for it had a standard elbow and downpipe so bought them off japspeed
the downpipe splits into two and back to one to prvent the problem of the big 3inch pipe being too low and hitting everything


Also picked up a vertex kit off Drive n Style cheapest I could find


Got some LED rear lights from Taiwan


Look well on the car


One headlight inside was after getting damp and damaged so i split them open and Im still debating what to do go matt black, carbon dip or same colour as car

Picked up some black recaros out of a dc2 love these seats was looking for brides but got sick of looking and how expensive they are was off putting


some clear side repeaters I hate amber on any car also have hid's dips and fulls and led everything from dash clocks to reverse lights there is nothing in the car but Leds and hids ha ha


Will get more pics up when i get car back from bodyshop the fibreglass kits arent the best theres a lot of work going into it pity couldnt be a plastic kit like my last car definately worth the extra money

[dannyc]

Decided the cusco coilovers were just too hard for the road I went and bought these brand new in the box off a lad on here

Also have a nardi torino and 4 swoosh gauges to mount in the vents and one on pillar pod there defi style look good quality anyway and you can calibrate them Im a calibration tech so will take one in to work when i get a chance see how accurate they are

Got them for 350 in very very good nick but they fly out the door so I would budget 400 and haggle picked up another set for 350 with the coilovers in not as god nick they were gone straight away tho hard to get but there a serious seat comfort wise

can also buy the bolster and bits online if ya can pick up damaged ones
