After selling my first S15 to replace it with a BMW 320D, i soon realised the almighty mistake i made and went out on the hunt for another. The BMW lasted a whole 3 months before i found this Silvia in transit from Japan:




It arrived with not a lot of modifications which leaves me with a fairly blank canvas. Here is an updated list of modifications: (Updated 20/12/2014)

Engine
- Blitz Nur Spec Exhaust
- Fujitsubo Downpipe
- Apex DeCat
- JapSpeed FMIC
- Blitz rad cap
- Nismo oil cap
- Apexi Air Filter
- Spitfire Coilpacks
- Earthing Kit
- Apexi Power FC
Interior
- Optional extra front leather seats
- Carbon Speedo Surround
- Nismo Gear Knob
- Kenwood Double Din Display
Chassis
- Ohlins Coilovers
- Cosmis XT206-R alloys/ Falken Tyres
- DB Power 330mm Big Brake Kit
- BMC Stopper
- Cusco Adjustable Sway Bar (Front)
- Ikeya Formula Adjustable Castor Rods (Front)
- Cusco Tow Arms (Front)
- Rear Camber Arms
- Cusco Front Strut Brace
Exterior
- Full Aero Kit
- DMAX LED Rear Lights
- DMAX Boot Lip Spoiler



Since owning the car i have yet to do any major changes apart from removing the rear spoiler, fitting a Decat and lowering the front end a little more. I do have a number of plans but it will be a slow process which suits me fine! Heres a few up to date pictures:

Looks better with the front lower than it was, you going to drop the back a bit so it sits level?

It has made a massive difference! Waited far too long to do it.. ha. I need to get the rears rolled before i can go any lower unfortunately :| I'll get round to it eventually!

Really? Your rears looked pretty flush from what I remember... They might pull in when its lowered anyway, mine only needed the lip rolling to clear and you know how much my rears stick out.
Can get it on a ramp on base soon if you want to give it a try?

That lip on the rear arch will catch if i go any lower; other than that, i'm good to drop it some more. Ye will be getting it up on the ramps when i get back, will get hold of you when i'm down!

Looks very nice! Don't see many aeors in this color :)
Cheeers! Ye can't say i've seen many either; im happy with that ha :)

Awesome looking 15 that, where did you get the decat from if you dont mind me asking?

Thanks
Thanks Liam. Got the decat from eBay for about £30-£40 iirc. If you type in Apex Decat for Nissan Silvia you should find the right one :)

Few updates to write up; nothing major apart from a bit of bodywork:

- Toad cat 1 alarm
- Nismo Gear knob
- Kenwood double Din stereo
- OEM steering wheel
- DMAX LED rear lights
- DMAX rear spoiler
- Smaller front number plate

Come to thin of it, there has been a fair few changes! Ha. I also have a set of Cosmis XT206-R wheels on the way. Won't be on for a while as I'll need to get some arch work done and possibly wider front fenders. For now, she stands like this (excuse the poor quality pics + the dirty car) ;)

Cheers dude! Yes I have mate. I went through the thread on here 'Ultimate wheel fitting guide'. They will fit with a bit of work.

Received my new wheels today. Having issues with calliper clearance on the front so may need to look at spacers! Not what i wanted but i have to get these to fit! The alloys are an American make but nothing fancy; i just loved the design! Cosmis Racing XT206-R. Fitment is 18x9.5j +10 front and back. Won't be fitting these for a while as i'll need to get arch work done and some wider front fenders + spacers now! Here is a couple of pictures as an example.
