  1. Hey guys!

    Havent posted here in a while. Here's my latest build!

    The purpose of this one, was just to build a bada** s13, and I think Ive done that. Turned out just as I had imagined.

    A few hiccups, main problem being that I polished through alot of paint :/ but nevermind.

    Heres the spec list.

    Exterior:

    scratch built: OEM aero bumper

    aero side skirts

    rear spats

    bonnet vent

    rolled arches

    engine bay with tubbed arches

    S15 wing mirrors

    custom tail pipe

    custom RC wheels

    custom indicator lenses

    Interior:

    scratch built: interior tub to replicate 1/1 silvia

    hydraulic handbrake and gear knob

    roll bars

    swithcboard on dashboard

    S15 dashboard

    Recaro bucket seat with harness and R32 GTR passenger seat.

    Battery relocation

    Detailmaster steering wheel

    Chassis modifications include lowering, increased neg. camber, scratch made anti roll bar, and various other components.

    Engine bay:

    RB26 taken from the tamiya r32.

    custom exhaust manifold

    custom turbo+plumbing

    modified intake plenum

    resin front mount intercooler, chopped and resized to allow fitment, with custom piping

  2. Hello chaps,

    this was a fairly quicky build, although I got very lazy in between building it.

    Wanted another model to add to my little collection.

    Mods are as follows

    Suspension lowered and cambered to fit new wheels. (Yet to stretch rear tyre somehow but leaving it for now even though it looks a little unrealstic!!)

    Exhaust sytem chopped and modified for new shotgun (single barrel) style exhaust

    Tinted rear lights, rear window and front indicator lenses with Tamiya smoke.

    Custom front lip.

    Tow strap

    Drivers bucket seat with harness

    Dished steering wheel

    JDM dildo gear knob

    grip tape on handbrake with drift button

    Roll bar

    Random stickers

    Here's the pics, I hope you like it as I do!!! ( the pics are pretty awful, sorry!)

    not sure if this is the right section, as its not totally finished! Need to sort the rear tyres out, maybe paint wheel centres aswell.

  3. Hey there :unsure:

    I built this halfway through building my fortune rx7, my skills developed alot on this build...so its quite a significant build for me in that sense.

    Tamiya kit, alot of scratch made parts-

    Interior-stripped look, roll cage made from brass, dash mods, door cards

    exterior parts, front bumper, rear bumper, sideskirts, guards, vents, bonnet, lights, kouki rear lights

    alot of engine parts, enginebay, chassis detailing etc

    Painted zero candy blue :huh: I hope you like it, Im a serious s13 enthusiast.

  4. Thanks mate, for your very kind words. :o

    I'll post up more of my work, I just want to inspire people to do whacky stuff that they make think may not be possible. Im no pro, but with great supporters, and strong motivation, you can build anything!

    Thanks again mate!

  5. Hey everyone! ;)

    Im new here, some of you might know me from SPC, but those who dont, I would like to present my latets completed model.

    I am very pleased with this build, being (as far as I know) the first version of this car built up in the world. That, I am extremely proud of.

    Its by no means perfect, alot of things that could be better, one in particular, the bonnet fitment, that was due to a mistake I made early on in the build when the front split into 2 :/

    Everything was scratch-made, inluding the engine. :blink:

    Anyway, I'll show you the pictures.

    Sorry for the huge number.
