Well i havnt seen it done before so i thought i would give it a try.

I went and got the Fujimi rps13 and s15!

http://slidecentral.rs-scooby.com/newcamera/modelcars/180s15-1.jpg

I will take the 180sx front and put it on the s15 and the s15 front and put it on the 180sx.

Cars are pretty similar width wise:

I will probably be them black or blue.

Awesome project...
But you'll have to adjust your lines...cos one car is gonna have 2 windscreen cleaner water jet things, and one car isnt gonna have any...or you could just shave them off...for that nice clean look...

I think that cutting further forward, perhaps straight down the middle of the front wheel arches would be a better approach. Surely you will want to keep as much of the front end of the 180 as poss to retain its character and lines. my 2c

Looks like a cool project. I agree with flyonthewall though. You might want to cut a bit farther down. Thats just what I'm thinking. You can do whatever you want, just keep us posted.

Here's the other version you are doing. I guess you'd call it a 180-15?

looks pretty good so far, heres a pic to help you out its my 1580 i cut it before the wheel well . i just thought it would be kind of hard to mold the two hoods together perfectly if i had went and made the cut above the wheel well but either way is good

K style/msports have a s15 with 180sx front, Looks pretty good actually.

1580 I do believe. It goes back to front if I can recall. But damn, the lines of that just flow so friggen nice. I have never seen a 180 front on an S15. Looks so good.

10-02-2003, 05:37 AM

Also, Whats do you guys think of tamiya basic putty for filling the gap?

I used it on my Purgeot and was pretty dissapointed........it shrinks a whole lot.

Any sugestions would be appreciated! :smile:

black with red and white decals. those pics that someone posted before of that blac s15 with 180sx front were amazing. I wouldn't really give them candy colour...

Spoolin those two cars are insane! I'm not sure anyone has touched that conversion yet. Congrats on being the first, it looks like they are both going to be awesome. Best of luck on the two.

Quick update!

I glued the two cars today (was out all day so didnt have time to putty)

Im thinking of filling the body line like shown below:

It goes from front to back. A 1580 is a 180 with S15 front. Just like a Sil-Eighty is a 180 with a silvia (S13) front.

10-03-2003, 11:43 AM

wow... good work so far.. keep it up..

dunno if the body would fit just right

Go with red.. looks stunning with big wheels, and lowered

Thats only your 4th model????????????????

It goes from front to back. A 1580 is a 180 with S15 front. Just like a Sil-Eighty is a 180 with a silvia (S13) front.

Its called a Onevia (i know its called that with a s13 back and 180 front) So i guess they are both silvia's.

Sigmaman:
Technically its my 3rd seeing i havnt finished my Peugeot or Porsche.

SonyMobile

10-03-2003, 06:34 PM

Lookin good so far man, are you making the S15 front on 180sx back into a truck?

for colors, my suggestions are

Purple <some cars look pretty sweet in purple!
Pink <Yashio Factory style ( I think sumbody said that already)
Green <like your peugeot is
Metallic Blue
Gold <that would look sweet with black decals
or Gunmetal

Sigmaman

10-03-2003, 11:14 PM

They,re mighty fine models man,whether they,re your 4th or 40th.Don,t let anybody tell you your good for a newbe,your good!!!!!!!I know people that have been building for years that don,t build that well.

10-04-2003, 05:49 AM

Thanks everyone!

well i am just sanding back some putty at the moment. I will keep you guys updated!

Im thinking for the S15rear and 180 front to be red with a black roof and bonnet! Whats do you guys think?

No im not making it into a ute.

cepat

10-04-2003, 07:24 AM

I think do them the same colour. To have that jap look with more then one car ina group the same colour.
I would prefer orange with black roof. Msport/Kstyle style. :D
Or candy apple red ;) :D

spoolin12

10-04-2003, 07:30 AM

LOL Yeah i would have done it orange but Subway is doing his orange with a black roof and bonet :(

Im just playing with wheel ideas here....they are workmeister rims that i made deep dish in the rear.

Here is a close up of the rear wheel.
http://slidecentral.rs-scooby.com/JD%20Models/Index/Pictures/Images/s15.180pro/deepwheel.jpg

I am installing the popup lights in the front of the 180 and giving it tht "sleepy" drift look.

The 180rear S15 front is comming along well but i missed a couple of places with the putty so i will re putty today!

I still have a spare S15, tamiya S13 and a fujimi sil80 :D

Will keep you guys updated! :)

10-05-2003, 06:24 AM

Ok Another update!

Cutting the lights out of the 180front end:
http://slidecentral.rs-scooby.com/JD%20Models/Index/Pictures/Images/s15.180pro/lightspop.jpg

Will be installing these lights but will be running them as if they are half closed for the "sleepy" drift look.

Thanks everyone!

Im into the whole drift thing so you will probably be seeing a whole lot of drift cars from me!

JG:
There is a tutorial by me in the modeling section (do a search under my name)

Ok primed both cars today! I love priming.....seeing the car all scratched up and ugly looking and then getting that neat clean finish without one stuff up!

Here are the pictures!

There are scratches on the s15 bonnet becuase a small peice of dust fell on it while priming so i lightly sanded it away.
