180sx with s15 half cut PROGRESS!

Bookshelf:
They are tamiya R34 Nismo wheels (comes with R34 V-Spec II)

I then added a lip on them from some Aoshima rims.

got any progress updates for us yet?

Im about to send off a order to joeClaw for a fujimi exhaust set.

Then i will have to pre order the S15 transit kit from SAS (Chris)

Once i have the transit kit i will be able to spray both bodies! :D

I will keep you updated! :)

the SAS s15 transkit is already available?

Not that i know about.

Thats why i said Pre Order. :)

your doing a damn fine job so far. cant wait to see this one done. Its a project i might want to tackle later. keep it up.

JeFF

SICK!!!
freaking awesome idea.

IMO, the onevia should have use the kouki 180sx front eye, that will look a lot more aggressive, but now it looks great already.

Keep us update! ;)

Ok guys!

Finally an update!

Finished the interior for the onevia.
I went for a street/race interior, no passenger seat, carbon floor :D and a few other small things.

Here is a pic:

i will do roughly the same thing for the Sil80 interior.

Looks nice bro

Man, that interior is awesome!

Nice work, looks nice and clean, just like the rest of the car, BTW, where did you get the fire extinguisher and that other thing, and the seat?

nice but why do people keep the ford focus logo on that pan?

Impressive! I really like the handbrake, scratchbuilt?

Thanks guys.

The extingisher (SP) is out of the Ford Focus as well as the hand break.

The Focus logo is embosed onto the plastic.
The logo sits under the dash and you cant see it when its placed on the chassis. :)

exceptional! i'm really enjoying keeping an eye on this build

Thanks guys.

Oh, well you just inspired me on making a new hand break lever w/ cable for one of my projects! Thanks.

omg im loving this project... :smokin:

damn what an awesome build! I love all your cars. Keep up the good work!

It definitely is in Drift Spec...... :evillol:

They just need some drift-spec body work!

ewwwwww.............

ewwwwww.............

I agree... that is a disgrace to both manufacturers, waste of moeny/time/parts if you ask me, i would hate to be the owner of taht, i imagine there would be alot of harrassment with you put a nissan on a honda... what a shame... :disappoin

:iagree:
Somebody got lots of money to throw out...

It would be better if they give us those money they spent on useless conversion, so we can build some nice models here.

I wouldn't mind an S13 with the S15 front, or 240 with S13/15 front. But that's just plain stupid.

oh danm! check out the chick in the sil-vic.

That interior is nice!!!

oh danm! check out the chick in the sil-vic.

Hahahahah! You said sil-vic.

RICE :greddy2: :wtf: :uhoh: :lol: :spit: :puke:

:iagree:

I dont even think it deserves that name I'll just stick to infamous name ofr all those cars...RICE

Spooling12 any new progress on this car?

Sad when you read off thier decals and go "So what parts of thiers do you have on your car??"

I saw I Ford Probe at a gas station all bodykited and wing, and he had the decals "Bride, Apexi, HKS, etc.." running down the door, I just wanted to go up to him and say "Show me your Bride seats" lol

youngdrifter:
Nothing as of yet.

Im thinking about painting the Sil80 and leaving it with no front bumper, and just have a nice intercooler sitting there....

What do you guys think? :)

Should of done that shiz hpyertek. haha.
I dont know spoolin12 i think you should put the front bumper on...and the intercooler!! I'm going to attempt the v-mount...which i mostly likely wont...I say keep the bumper on

have it hanging half off! drift rip!

One last color suggestion (in case you have not already decided)...

Since the car is in fact two cars grafted together, why not try for a front-to-back fade? Maybe fade from a dark blue nose to an indigo or black rear-end... It might emphasize the very essence of the front end conversion. Just my two-cents, anyway.

Have the bumper removeable, this way, you can show the full affect of the intercooler, or tuck it away benieth its skin... just my thoughts, but if you do leave the bumper off, make sure you add some engine details, cause when the front fascia is off a car, you can see more than just an intercooler!

im still all for both of them getting Metalic or candy blue paint jobs!

like sonymobile said, have it removeable, then you have the best of both worlds,

Hey guys,
I will be painting the sil80 (180sx with S15 front half) tomorrow.

Painting it Tamiya Orange. :)

great....we need pics to satisfy our hunger....:iceslolan

Hell yea!, an orange Sil80!

Ok its painted!

Im an idiot though....i didnt paint the mirrors :(

Ahh well here are the pics:
(not 100% sure of wheels yet and the wheels are just sitting in the chassis)

that's so awesome, it looks like it came with that front from factory, not fujimi or tamiya factory, but some sort of super factory,lol

Wow, that looks awesome. Which size of tubing did you use?

loooks great...keep it up

SWEET

Dude, wow, awesome. looks like it came like that outta the box. Wowzers. BTW, what size rod did you use for your intercooler piping?

Cheers guys.

Im also pretty happy with the result.

I used 1/8" evergreen rod. (3.2mm)

Sweet jebus, you dun did it! It came out really well too... wooooow.

Could've resin copied it and made money.. j/k

I think it looks good in red... too bad it's orange.
