S14 w/ R33 modification *UPDATE* *PICS*

[blueboost]

New project WELL on its way. I will have in-progress pictures updated to this thread in a week or so.

I am loosely basing my project on Non Fujita's S14.

the project is a Fujimi S14 silvia, with a Tamiya R33 GTR bumper grafted on, S15 spec-R sideskirts custom fit to the S14, and a one-off custom rear bumper.

all of the above modifications have been performed and one light coat of primer has been applied. At this point I will take pics for you when the primer is dried. for now, heres some pics of the car with the same front end I am trying to duplicate. I will most likely go with Tamiya bright red for the color.







wish me luck!

the car looks mean, and since the nismo R32 came out so well, I'm sure this will too.

It's amazing isn't it? Non was one of the first stateside with the Nissan bug and after all this time his car is still one of the tightest around. This should be a good project.

it is.. He's definately got style. if you look at the pics you can see theres no intercooler, he hadn't even swapped his KA24 engine out yet during that photo shoot.

well thanks for the comments you guys. I'll be sure to update you w/ some nice pics. most of the hardest work is DONE!

It looks class! Looking forward to seeing the results.

[blueboost]

what do you guys think about tamiya bright red for the color?

[JDM-AE86]

u do kno that his car has since changed alot from those pics right?


thats what it looks like nowadays, and to prove it heres a site selling artwork of his car http://www.optionimports.com/nonfus14siar.html

Looks a like an interesting project - keep us updated.

[blueboost]

yes. its nice isn't it?

I will not flare the fenders or add the additional lip to the GTR front facia. I am looking for something a little more.. factory. I've used ONLY actual Nissan bodyparts from other Nissans. Im taking the lines I like from other cars and blending them into this car.

Got some pics up today.

you can see the front portion of the S15 sideskirt being extended and blended in. I used tamiya epoxy putty for the puttywork this time.



the rear portion of the skirts were extended also. I centered the sideskirt and extended each end.



needs a final touch up but.. should be fine.


here you can see the rear bumper, I basically cut apart a bumper from the Fujimi S15 K's kit, and used the parts to beef up this S14 bumper.




heres the bumper before I attach it. its already been (cut from a tamiya R33 GTR, cut in half, decreased its width, reassembled.. I wish the pic would have been sharper.


more pics when the model is completed

Cool project, you don't use the original fixing of the bumper is maybe easier to attach it?

I've put R32 headlights on a S14 (before facelift) but I didn't think adapt a R32 bumper on this car.... maybe later
