:thumbs:mate great pics well done

 

[Topper]

Is it just me, or does this picture make the car look like its crying out for a BGW?

 

[Nicely]

Nah, just an Aero...

 

[ichi-go]

I would love the aero front but prices are ridiculous in oz. You can get genuine aftermarket front bar for the price you pay with change to spray too. Cant justify that.

 

[Nicely]

I meant an Aero spoiler. The diagonal bodyline in that photo Topper quoted is begging for it.

Since I have nothing to do on holiday, thought I can update this thread

On 2008, bought a new intercooler for her

DAY 1
Process of taking her apart

Just a low range greddy m-spec

At the end of the day,

DAY 2

After alot of f**king around with drilling the hole,

Not too shabby but could do better

More to come...

Coilovers and BC

Last year, bought a set of Greddy Type-S after getting tax return

After testing out the Greddy damper control, it seems to suffer from a problem. Unable to adjust the coilovers properly. Others had the same problem, not sure why Greddy would launch them. So installed coilovers without the damper control

Slammed

After that, hunger for power has kick in, boost controller goes in..

More update...

Summer is here so I've DIY a custom ducting for the pod filter

Added a greddy catch can, greddy oil cap and greddy carbon kevlar diversion plate, took out strut bar to install engine damper, but engine damper is abit dodgy and knocks as well, so i've taken the engine damper out now, not much use for them as i have nismo mounts now

More power...

In the quest for more power....

Greddy dump pipe

Greddy front pipe

Installed a punched out hi flow cat as well

Suspension arms

Was running pretty bad camber on the rear due to the slammage, so need some aftermarket arms to correct the alignment

Cusco Rear Upper Arms (Camber)

Cusco Toe Rods (Toe)

Comparing with stock

All in...

 

[ichi-go]

Last update, alittle bling

LED tail lights

Compare to stock

Installed...

What do u guys reckon?

 

[ichi-go]

Aight that's all for now... exterior wise, i'm targeting some bodykit for her.... possibly just stock aero skirt for that subtle look, a front lip and rear pods if cash falls from the sky (pods are expensive in Oz)

Suspension wise, a set of front and rear cusco sway bars will definately be handy. Car came with random adjustable castor rod, so I might replace that with a cusco adjustable castor, cusco tension brace and nismo power brace then I should be pretty set for suspension.

Power wise, need a set of greddy cams, nismo injectors, nismo fuel pumps and emanage to tune it all in. Using stock turbo with cams should be enough for a street car

My recent gymkhana videos if you guys are interested... nothing spectacular though

[Trial_S15]

Some very nice additions there ichi-go, an Aero kit would really finish it off :thumbs:

 

[subzero]

those vids are hella cool !! didn't realize ye were big into that kinda thing with s15s . nice bit of slidey action too . very cool vids ... new lights look very well / especially at night.


side note : any pics of the light blue 15 with carbon boot :smitten: . you pass after 1 of you runs when you enter the pit/carpark/.

 

[david]

lights look well but its a wonder the indicator parts are not clear rather than the stock looking orange.

 

[Hunts15]

:O offered them wheels in bronze last week didnt think they would suit but am tempted now
lookin sweet lov the mod so far.... fair play

 

[raytsang]

[ichi-go]
