Hey fellas,

This is my Nissan Silvia S15. After going through many many trail and error, and spending/selling more then i needed to on my previous ride, i decided that this 15 should only get only the best of the best parts, etc. Do it once, do it right! All parts on this car is genuine, from head to toe.

Some progress pictures over the years


When I first saw it on carsales around 2006


After i got it, gave it some good TLC, buff, polish, etc. Took me 3 long days.


Even went through the effort of polishing every gap in the badge, you can see the pearl reflect off the paint.


Then fitted a TRUST PEII exhaust, DIY with a mate. :D



Drove past a caryard, saw a set of Buddyclubs on a R33 and thought ill give it a shot if they will sell me them. The result:


Coilovers installed - HKS Peformers



Saw the concaves on these SSR and thought it was a MUST have thing.

Havent updated for awhile, this happened a few months ago so yeh.

I finally took the car out! Haven't seen the thing for so long.
Drove it to JAX liverpool for a much needed wheel alignment, camber, toe adjustments and adjusted the rear coilovers.

Super happy with it, car feels and drives like a dream. Big thumbs up to the guys at JAX!

Adjusting the rear coils.


Wheel alignment




Next on the list, front/rear pads and rotors...
