Hello from Trinidad West Indies

Hello from Trinidad West Indies, Updated Pics!!!

Hi all I got my car about a month ago, bought it from my friend, it was imported from Japan. It is a Nismo Silvia S15 Spec R. It comes with lots of Nismo stuff that may not be recognizable, like bushings and what not. It's a dream to drive, I have since fitted it with the Tokyo Drift Tails straight from Japan and also R34 GTR Wheels. I am in the process of changing the FMIC setup and piping, tell me what you think.

My Setup is:
SR20DET six speed
HKS J-pipe
Nismo Full exhaust and barrel
Greddy Intercooler piping
Greddy Intake setup
Nismo short Shifter
Nismo Shift Knob
Nismo Shock and spring Combo
Engine Damper

Will get some more pics with interior and engine shots and also with the tails and the new FMIC.

Hello and welcome :wave:
Very nice car. Liking the Aero kit more and more :thumbs:

 

[Topper]

Looks really good mate :thumbs:, those wheels fit a treat. What sizes etc are they?

Your opening yourself up to even more Skyline comments though i bet......

 

[elizium]

Welcome!!! beautiful car... so that's what an S15 looks like in Sunshine

 

[Nicely]

Welcome! :wave:

First forum member from your neck of the woods (or palms ). Car's looking good :thumbs:

The wheels are 18s and are 9 wide and 30 offset. They fit nicely though.

 

[Topper]

I cant understand how they fit..................

I have an 8j on the front with ET30 and they are very close to sticking out, they only just tuck under the arch. Rears with 9j ET30 "should" stick out too.

I seen a picture of an S15 with 9j and ET37 on the rear, and they were about as far out as possible.

What camber setting are you running??

 

[TriniGT]

Don't get me wrong, the front does stick out a little but not too much as to be rubbing, I will post some pics later from a profile view.

 

[Topper]

If you could that would be excellent.

I'm trying to get my head round the whole width and offset thing, but i guess if you have lowered your car and havent corrected the camber etc they will tuck under slighty more giving the appearance that they dont stick out.

[Topper]

No probs mate, just when you can :thumbs:

I've had 350Z rims on my car, same offset + 30, 18*8 with 245 at rears but they stick out too much just cant "fit" and its touching the guards

 

[Topper]

And thats an inch thinner than TriniGT's wheels

 

[Nicely]

I've had 350Z rims on my car, same offset + 30, 18*8 with 245 at rears but they stick out too much just cant "fit" and its touching the guards

And there's the difference between an S14 and S15. 350Z 18x8s fit the S14 perfectly.

Welcome mate - great looking car in a superb colour! Yup, the GTR alloys do it for me in a big way ?350 a rim from Abbey Motorsport... don't think that includes rubber though ?100 a corner for rubber, that's ?1800! Mmm... I think not.

 

[I-nearly-bought-a-batty]

lovin the R34 GTR wheels! I've seen them before on a white S15 but the guy had to run heaps of camber to make them fit. Your rears look as though they're fairly neutral and yet close to fitting. I take it you've rolled the guards?

 

[TriniGT]

Well I had plans to sell my baby but bonus give way to new found ways to keep her. Here are some updated pics, yes I am going to be replacing the wheels with the GTRs. Only minor upgrades have been done and I am going to be putting back on the Nismo CF bonnet.
