WIP-Widebody nissan silvia S13

[Mister_S13]

YEH ,metallic red is a definite possibility wingless definetly, how can you not?its an S13!
black roof...hmmm, i like that....i likes that a lot....defintly considering
and what a quick response, i posted my update like, 5 minutes before you did, im luvin the attention my thread seems to be getting(compared to my others

[anopanjo]

haha! one thing to get some more replies, try and make you pics a little better!

Are you going with the rims you have on there atm?, what are you thinking for the front?

[AllAlone.Gz]

Yes! Wingless is a must! It will look good wingless. Thanx. The Integra looks good in the picture, the lights are a little messed up though. But your projec is comming along very good. What putty you using anyway?

[Mister_S13]

hee hee, yeh, i will try and make my pics better, im not to good with a camera yet ummm, im using "tamiya Epoxy putty" at least, thats what the box says.....at least in english anyway.....
yeh, the rims on it at the moment arec going on it definetly, i love the amount of dish they have.
for the front, either an extended front bumper(just a lip added to the standard one, or a lip added onto a late model 180SX bumper, I dont want to cut into an S13, its to nerve racking, lol
Wingless, lol, yeh, everyone seems to reckon,INCLUDING ME!! you cant have an S13 with a wing now, can you?
im going to do the rear of the car tonight, and possibly the opposite side skirt, and then the front flares, im flaring the front out aswell, but not quite as much.
does anyone have anything negative to say about a N/A tuned 2JZ with trumpets?? because im kind of undecided with the whole N/A verses Turbo thing, but I feel turbo's are a little to "common-place" now,
oh yeh! and in case anyone is wondering, yes, that is the final ride height, a little bit low?
im going for a drift look, but I dont want the car to look like a hack-job...maybe a car that was just built, but not driven yet? because i dont think any sane drifter would dish out the hard earned cash on some DMD flares to smash into tire barriers

Hmmm..Keiichi Tsuchiya Would! He wouldn't crash...At least with the skill I believe he has!

DK can drift my moms ride! Tsuchiya is simply the best driver ever. Orido owns too. But yea, you dont want too much of the over fender there. You decide on the color scheme? Check out my thread im doing the same model.

[Mister_S13]

lol, yeh, i spose keiichi would although i said "any SANE drifter, lol, some of the things DK can do.....i dont think he qualifys as "sane" anymore, ,colour sceme? nah not yet im having heaps of trouble, its either Candy red, metallic pink or lime green now(all with black hoods.)
hmmm, to much over fender? do you think it has to much at the moment?
i DID check out your thread, you got one with the SR20 half motor!!cool! i looked for one of them, but ended up with a tamiya,
have you seen Vauhn Gitten Jr's S13 in the D1? its the blue falken tires one, ...that car..omg...i think im in love
I just got paid today, so im off to the paint shop to examine some colours
hey "allalone.Gz, what colour are you doin your S13?i love the look of your front bumper thats kinda what im tryin to do...but mine wont be as good.
and my final question for today....what are peoples thoughts on the exhaust coming out of the side skirt? or should i leave it with a cannon at the back?
anyway, goin to work now, i think we have an RPS13 coming in to work,
BYE!!!

[Mister_S13]

Colour Scheme Has Been Chosen!!! Yay!!!
its going to be....

CANDY RED WITH A BLACK BONNET/BOOT/ROOF, Black centred rims, with chrome dish, tinted head lights, and NO decals.
update coming soon, the front flears have just been started
anyway...YAY!!

[Mister_S13]

also....the next S13 will prob be green, thanxs all, but plz still vote on the poll, asd im still not 100% and havent painted it yet, im still kinda leaning towards green...

[AllAlone.Gz]

Wow. By the sounds of your progress, looks like youre doing great on the build. On the sideskirt exhaust note, im not too familiar with many cars, well imports atleast, with the exhaust on the side skirt. Remember keep it as clean as possible.

[Mister_S13]

ive decided on a typical massivly angled cannon exhaust, but ive done side ecits before on models, my AE86 has it coming out of the firewall, tyhrough the inteerior(its stripped out) and then out the bodywork,but thanks for your reply and i just attached the front bumper, its nothing special, but it complements the rest of the car....im dying to paint the bitch but ive got to finish thwe body first,im removing the speakers behinf the rear window,and making a battery mount and mounting the battery in the interior, or putting a piggy-back ECU behind the rear window, i wanna be different

[Mister_S13]

[Mister_S13]

sorry.thats a quick update on the silvia, its now painted,the engine is being taken care of, im mounting the intercooler in a 'V' configuration, naturally aspirated 2JZ,its got nice chrome trumpets out the side, and i made my own exhaust manifold, which is far from perect, but at least it has one.,the actual exhaust has been made, its a cannon, mounted on an angle,sorry for the slow reply, but ive been worked flat out at work, and havent had time to gewt on my computer./
anyway, if anyone is still whatcing this, i hope you like it...
