In Progress: Nissan Silvia K's

It's been like 3 week's since i started this project...but school keep me busy for a while (and still does :D) so i can only work on it when i have some free time...anyway...i have a lot of things to finish, the front bumper, sideskirts and back bumper. I'm not sure about the interior...any ideas??

The rims will be this model, with a 2mm deep dish in front and 3mm in the back:

cheers.

looking good!

Looking nice, i feel like starting my body kit now, but i need to finish the teg first

Nice progress. Looks promissing!

That is awesome silvia! Keep up the good work!

Cool project! Looks like it's going to be one mean S13.

nice progress, like the bumper.

Where'd you get those wheels? I could really use a set for a audi quattro tarmac version i'm planning- they look spot on

looks good, you have the skills to pay the bills.

Very nice:) That front goes well with the style of the car;)

looks awesome, i want to make a custom bodykit but i dont know how and this gives me some ideas. keep up the good work.

Thank's a lot for the replys ;)

It's been a while since the last update (or the only one) and now the body it's ready for primer. Just need to wait for the weather gets better (it's winter here)

Man I am loving the D1 style bodykit. Looks awesome! You going wingless or are you going to stick one on? I think i nice gt style wing would look real good. But not one that sticks miles over the roof :puke: But it still looks frigin awesome without one :ylsuper:
The pegasus vantages would look awesome if you sacked that beast out :bigthumb:
What colour is it going to be? I thinking a nice mettalic green or blue would looke awesolme :grinyes:
And maybe you could try some clear tail lights. As I dont think they have been done yet on a S13 :iceslolan

Deng man that body is looking really nice! Im lovin that exhaust, it looks soo real!

Your body work is amazing, the exhaust is awsome along with the intercooler. Keep it up.

Lookin pretty cool. Great work on the bodykit there. Keep up the great work!

Frank X.

Nice work!

looks great! Keep is posted!! :)

Looking good so far. keep it up!

Thank's a lot for the comments!

Sorry for the slow progress, but i don't have much time to work on it...anyway, it's now primered, and i start to sand down some little holes that came up in the front/rear bumpers and sideskirts. That's all for now.

cheers.

Looks good man, looks good. I like the blue n white rims, they give it a bit more of a tuner look. And the exhaust looks like the Blitz Nur Spec.

I like those blue white rims also, maby if you use them there can be a blue and white paint scheme(sp?).

It's coming along very nicely.

Thats real good work. Keep it up. Please get more pictures soon

I personally would go wingless. But if u do decide to add a wing, make it a low profile one

Thank's for the replys ;)

I'm thinking about leave it wingless, it would look more clean, but i'm not completely decide

The rims won't be white/blue, the blue OZ are there just for the picture, they will be like the white one, with 2mm deep dish...not sure about the color though

Hope you understand what i'm saying...as my sign says, sorry about the crappy english :banghead:

wow its incredible nice putty work

your english is fine, dont worry.

The car is coming along ammazingly, what plans for the interior? race setup or full interior?

i will keep a close eye on this project for sure

Wow looks very very nice from the last time i saw it (page 1) The only thing i see that bothers me a little is the rear bumper lip, just a little big for my tastes, but im thinking it will look better after paint and new rims. I gotta work on mine lol

I love Nissan's and bodykits :) Your bodykit looks awesome! ;)
Good luck! /Emil

It's been a really long time since the last update on this one...i've been away of modeling for some time now, but i'm trying to get things done little by little. Rear bumper it's now finished, a lot smaller than before...i guess it looks better this way. Front bumper and sideskirts still need some more work, as well as the interior where i cut the back seat :screwy: I'm thinking of re-doing the rollcage...not sure yet.

Anyway...here are the pics

hope you like it, adios

I like it. Cool body kit!

Looks cool how it stands on it´s wheels, keep it up!!:grinyes:

Been watchin this thread since you started it and its looking amazing! Like most things you cant rush works of art.I love everthing about the body mods, it suits the original lines of the car. Keep up the good work,cant wait to see some paint on it!

looks great, cept the roll bar is massive maybe use something skinnier, besides that i really like it

Looks great. Love the bodykit. Looks real drift worthy. I'm also digging the front mount intercooler, the pipe couplers and the hose clamps look awesome. The front mount intercooler on my 1:1 car doesn't even look that good.

Awesome!! Have u decided the body color??
I can see it sliding into a corner....
Great job!

Thank's for all the replys!

It's been a while since last update, progress is very slow at the time, hopefully this year i'll be able to work a lot more on this.

White primer its on, just gotta fix the sideskirt, prime again and it will be ready for some paint. Then finish the interior work and start the chassis :banghead:

adios.

hey! nice, ive built 2 S13's and a sil-80 and i absolutly love them, nice body kit,I think you should leave it wing-less, and paint it White, lol, just my opinion, ive done chrome tail lights B4 on a S13, my dads a sign writer and i got some Chrome vinyl, and stuck it behind the clear tail light, Ill mail you some if you want(email me ur address if ya want) otherwise this looks a million times better than mine {jealousy} lol.

ooh! plz tell me how u made ur body kit, as ive neveer made one and im looking at making one for m6y current project (a GTS-R R31 skyline)
the finish on yours looks great,

looking good

WOW! Kinda makes me wanna quit my S13 W.I.P . . . . What color you gonna paint it? Have you decided yet?

Time for a new update (was about time :D)

The body was painted with pure white from Marson, 2 mist coats and 2 wet coats, followed by 1 coat of clear and and then was polished with Tamiya Compound. I also made a rear strut bar that i need to paint.

feedback is always welcome :biggrin:

white with the black wheels looks the business man, I like the detail work you are doing in the truck area, very prototypical of the real car, keep up the great work...

Gray

This is turning out REALLY nice! It might be taking you a long time, but it'll be well worth it!

OMG i love your S13, makes my widebody look crappy(btw, i just updated :D)

Great display of skills man!! The body kit looks top notch as does the paint, and I really dig the strut bar you made. the detail is just awesome! keep it up it looks like your almost there.

so are you going to open the trunk? progress is great! that strut bar is sensational.

Thanks for the comments, hopefully i'll be able to post some updates this week :banghead:

Time for an update :screwy:

Progress is slow as usual, but at least i'm making some :D

I removed the molded-in exhaust line carefully with a Dremel, and replace it with one made out of solder.

cheers.

I have been wondering this lately and I will ask you. Did you paint the trim after polishing and waxing the body? If so, did you use just standard Tamiya tape? Did it leave residue on the body?

Great paint by the way!

I paint the trim after polishing the body, with Tamiya tape and it left no residue ;) Hope you understand my english :p
