titanium effec Grams Light. they're the coolest ! :D Very nice S15 indeed !

channie, actually 18" rims would fit over grex/greddy calipers if the discs are below 375mm.
I've got a friend running water cooled AP Racing with 372mm discs and they fit under his 18" LMGT4s.

yummy ...


The kit on the car looks to be a full Vertex Ridge wide body kit including the front and rear fenders.
My favourite body kit for an S15.

Your quite right they do fit... i thought the greddy kits were ubber big but they are only a max 355!

Goin on that then... do you reckon they are 18 or 19??? :)


EDIT: The maxim size they do for the S15 is 330!!! Unless they have put the R33 GTR ones on which are 355

Looks good :)
Needs some work with the front bumper though. Doesn't look like it fits to well. :(
Hmm, just what I was thinking. From what Ive seen of Vertex the fit is always spot on!
Dunno whats gone on there :wack:

Cheers for the feedback on the car.

The poor fitment of the front bar is more a result of my own laziness than anything else.

It's only held on by 4 zip ties, not tied on under the side of the headlights where a standard front would be, and doesn't have the black support bar running under the headlights either.

So yeah while it could sit better, the amount of effort required to do it properly outweighs the benfits considering we're constantly removing the front bar (next mod I do will be to change over to Dzus fasteners I think).

There were a few other things I wasn't 100% satisified with fitment wise, but when you consider that the pic below is what it looked like 2 days before it went to the show and there were only 2 of us working on it, I think we did alright to get it to where it was :\



*edit* just realised I've been a member on this site almost 2 years and this is my first post.. ahh well it's as good an intro thread as any I guess :p

Ben,

I'm so gonna get the autosalon magazine just for your car. It's just perfect. Can see a couple glitch in the bodywork though. I think the left hand rear bar doesnt line up properly with the rear fender?? Looks like it, maybe is the angle. So what are your plans for the car?? If this is registered under S15, how bout your street blue s15??



Still looks pretty mint!

mint,

The canard I believe is from origin. Saw them advertised there before but ben should be able to answer you.

Nah canards are Vertex front and sides, they are sold separately. Fairly easy to fit, just 3 holes per canard and then bolt on.

Yeah the left hand rear is a little scetchy. The car had previous accident damage from Japan on that side which led to a few issues with fitment. If I had another shot at it I would start fresh with an un-damaged shell, but back when I bought the car your average S15 was still going for $30k+.

As it was I got the car for $8.5k and sold everything I could off it (including the engine) and ended up making a little bit of money back off it. Only thing was I then had to repair all the damage which was rather costly coming in at around $5k+ worth with all brand new parts from Nissan.

The car was imported as a race/rally vehicle, so it can't be street registered, although I've been driving it around on a permit for the past week or so just to give it a bit of a shake down.

I've got a few more things to sort out like a gearbox and clutch before heading out to the track. I'm just going to take it easy for a bit and see where things head. I've had a lot of offers for sponsorship etc but don't really want to dive into anything just yet, to be honest I'd prefer to build another one completely on sponsors $$$ rather than change this one, as this is almost exactly what I want.

Could maybe do something with my blue one but I'd prefer to keep that as a street car.
