WIP-Widebody nissan silvia S13

[Mister_S13]

hmmm, no pics as of yet for this thread, but im putting up the details of what it shall be:
URAS/ORIGIN bodykit
DMD the Image flares
Toyota 2JZ-GTE engine transplant
custom turbo
either ADD pink, or lime green, prob. pink with black hood/trunk(its a nice pink D/W)
(thats what my friends reckon of pink..but i think itll look good,different....)
cannon exhaust
Ive also made a set of rims that will fit a tamiya, they have 15mm of chrome dish on them, so i better make the flares kinda big.....
the centers on my wheels are black at the moment, but please post what colour you think and what colour centre wheels,im having trouble deciding.....
anyway, pics will be up as soon as I get started on this,
thanks for veiwing!

how about the origin color scheme?
that red is sexy

[hypertek]

how about a droptop widebody?
im doin that to my silvia model.. grafted a r32 front end onto it.. but im gonna make it so it still resembles an s13

[rod_k2]

Super!! finally you decided to start it! Now we gonna have a huge bunch of widebody's!
I think a yellow,wingless,tinted headlights with black bonnet/trunk would be cool...Anyway,the model's yours!

[Mister_S13]

so many kool ideas this thread has had the most response of all of mine
i spose widebodys are something that most people like?
ummm, the origin red? yeh, that car is my wallpaper at the moment i considered a candy red aswell, but the origin colour is one hell of a nice colour, im paying a guy ($30!!!) to mix any paint i want to my needs, so anything is possible.Im not sure i have the skills for a droptop, this is actaully my first model with styrene! so its a bit of a trial for me, although if I cant do it,ill paint it something hot, put some watanebes on it and deck it.... although a droptop silvia would ROCK!! have you seen kazama's?
yellow, yeh, i thought bout that, but my last S13 was actually yellow!
the car will be wingless, no doubt, although i have a small drift style spoiler here, which looks like a guerney flap, so thats a maybe...but prob. no wing
TINTED LIGHTS!! never thought of that, Im gonna do it! that'll be mad!!
and lastly but not ;least...You put an R32 FRONT ON AN S13!!!WOW!!, kool, that must have been hard, so whats that called? a skyvia?theres a skyvia R34 down here in OZ at the moment, and funnily enough, its on the ADD drift team, in guuess ewhat colour?Pink
anyways, thatnks for the ideas, I love em,Im waiting to start the model, but havent had time since I recently started an apprentiship as a mechanic(trying to speciallize in SR20's) and have no gtime what so ever, but lost of money for more S13's!!!!! im planning another widebody, a stocker, a street car and of course another derifter, i love S13's...but im stuck with my celica .....

[Mister_S13]

I feel its time for an update by now?
well, ive started the flares, ive only done the rears so far, and im yet to paint and sand them,ive stayed true to my word and have made them like the DMD flares, the rear bumper is going to be based on a widened version of a ford focus M-sports bumper, the front is kind of undecided,
by the way! Putty is so hard to use!! its so anoying, i have a lot of sanding to do, enough talk, here are pics....oh yeh! the bonnet has also been cut off, ready for the 2JZ
im not sure if its a good thing, but the car is startiing to look like a VIP-er, anyway, for those that care the guard edges are now 8mm out from the standard ones , and dont worry, it looks funny now, but the skirts etc are going to be just as wide.
ummm, a majority vote is starting to emerge in my poll, it seems most people would like it to be lime green, which happens to be my favourite coulour, althought i would like a poink car, and an orange one, and the suggestion for the origin red was a good one, so please keep voting, im dying to see what5 everybody else thinks.anyway, pics...

[Mister_S13]

I just decided on the front, im too nervous about cutting the bumper of an S13 off, so im gunna extend the front lip instead.please give me some feedback on this, as to whether you think it will look good.

[AllAlone.Gz]

Origin red is a good one. Followed by black bonnet and trunk. With the rims it has on now, it'll look great! Ever think of using carbon fiber composite decals instead of a black boonet and trunk? It will look alot more detailed.

[Mister_S13]

hmmm, I actually have no idea what carbon fibre composite decals are, lol, i dont have much of a clue with medel modifieing, im actaully building the side skirts as i type im glad you like the rims, first compliment ive received on them,theryre made out of a R32 skyline rim believe it or not

[AllAlone.Gz]

Carbon Fiber is a material that they make for cars to reduce the weight that the normal parts carry. Im not sure if you've seen street racing cars that have the black bonnet or wing or trunk. Most of the time the bonnet is made of carbon fiber. Carbon fiber gives the bonnet a black/pewter look.

Yea I like your rims. Mainly cuz I have the same ones on my s15. I just painted them gold.

Keep up the good work. Imma watch this thread constantly.

[Mister_S13]

lol, sorry, I knew what CF was, but I had no clue waht a "composite decal is"?
this model is driving me nuts, I was up until 2:00am last morning trying to get my skirt on right (pun intended)
the flares are starting to look a little better, anyway, Ill keep you all updated

[AllAlone.Gz]

Sorry about that. Well carbon composite just means "carbon material" so, I guess i had to clear that up. But post pics up of the skirt. And sometimes i work 8 hours in total trying to fix my models. You were up till 2 am while i worked till 5 am on the motor. It happens.

[Mister_S13]

lol,ok then WOW!! 5am!! thats devotion, and i thought 2am was bad , well, i removed my skirt completly, and did it a different way,i made the whole thing out of styrene, where-as before i tryed putty,like I said, this is my first time using putty, so I aint very good
oh and by the way, nice Honda in your signiture, from what I can see its a work of art
thanks for the comment, pics will be up soon...

[Mister_S13]

ITS PICTURE TIME!!
this is the silvia in its current state,the origin?uras kit has been dropped, oim just making what I can now make it up as I go, so now its a "Custom" bodykit with DMD flares
and I was also going to Normally aspirate the 2JZ for something a little different with some hardcore trumpets out the side of the block(not out the bonnet...either that or a V-mounted intercooler passing the air out through the hood...either weay suits me, but the NA tune might be a little morew different...anyway, heres the update...oh yeh and thanks for the responses to this thread,and for the votes on the poll!

[anopanjo]

thats coming along nicely. I reckn for colour maybe a metallic red and a black roof, two tone paint job, and keep it wingless!
