Nissan S13 << progress thread >>

This is a new project. For this car I haven't made a bodykit but only added a custom front spoiler (2 spoilers were in the box). The wheels are the Volk Racing TE37MAG (18").

The car will have black rear windows & white-red taillights. For the wheels I don't know if it's better to paint them in grey or leave them in white...

man, i love your litte diorama with the fast and the furious poster... its so awsome :D
and as for the wheels, definately white, they give the car a great contrast!

Used that bumper on my S13. Only modified it a little bit.

no white/red taillights!! well if your doing that euro clear style, then ok. hehe

Which S13 kit is that?
Hows the red? I got the same red for my 180 but yet still doing body work to it.

looks nice!!! do you have a link to HLJ for that silvia model?

Its not that hard. Just go to HLJ and type in Silvia for the search and it will come up.

BTW Nice build man, keep up the good work! :smile:

like the red alot.

Sebstar> Thanks for the diorama, it will be finished soon...

RyanGiorgio> Your Silvia kicks ass, mine is soft no bodykit, etc... ;)

hypertek> Here is a pic with the taillights I want to do:

About the kit, it's the Silvia K's in 18 inch profile version REF: 18010.

The color is italian red from Tamiya.

Its not that hard. Just go to HLJ and type in Silvia for the search and it will come up.

BTW Nice build man, keep up the good work! :smile: ya but theres more than 1 s13 and i want the one with the extra bumpers.:thefinger

Cool. But didn't you build that kick-assed S14 with the lightning rims, Evo hood scoop, r32 front lenses etc? That was a mean machine, this one is cool too, but kinda soft.

The one with the extra bumper is the Fujimi Silvia K, btw i am getting one my self too. :iceslolan Ryan and Towelboy got me hooked on S13's... :p

;) Yes the car is softer than the S14 but I haven't felt like making a bodykit. The car will be almost "from box". :D

I'd definately go with those red/clear taillights. Should look great.

Silvia is all that needs to be said... Soft, Hard, Modified, Out of the box. It is still a Silvia and they demand respect....

RESPECT

Looks great! It would look mean with Gunmetal rims but the white looks just as good!! :)

I don't think I've ever seen white rims used before but I do like them on your model. Nice.

In the wire,

Update: full black rear windows, 2 coats of metallic red on the italian red coat & taillights.

looks very cool

keep it up dude

nice, 1000kudos for different rims!

loose the 2fast2corny poster!! hehe.
That and a Silvia do not mix.
Instead print a Option magazine cover, will go with the car better.

Not such a big point, but i'd leave stock wheels on the back if i was going for the "drift look" different wheels on front and back. The Enkei NT-03 and the Ray's TE37 are both expensive wheel sets, usually the car will have the expensive rims on the whole car for most of the time, but when drift time comes the good wheels are swapped with the not so good ones so that the good ones are not damaged. ;) Just a pointer :)

wha... you know a lot... i thought the different wheel were just for looks, lol... how ignorant of me

;) I think I'll leave only the TE37 on...

The car is almost finished, the interior is done. Still the window trims, panel lines & paint the wheels to be more realistic.

Hope you like.

nice, is that the stock ride hieght or did/are you going to modify the suspension?

very cool... love to see the finished product
