Transformation

JC · 08-29-2004, 08:57 PM

Got my Silvia all painted finally. I know some of you wanted pics, but before that, Ill start from the beginning. Also I have to thank some people...

Started off with my shat 240. Nice interior, bad exterior:

Test fitted the new fenders:

We had to remove the bar in the pic. I still have it. Take it off my hands!:

Mock up:

You have to love the 3 different body colors (4 if you count the red under the white) and the no lights look:

Lights in:

Back from paint:

Everything fits fairly well:

MMMMmmm.... thats sexy:

I <3 FL:

Thanks to:
Chris: for helping with everything. Couldnt have done it without you.
Matt and Regina: for helping? Heh... and moral support. Oh and thanks for telling me my LSD sucked.

Jonas: For the socket. Was greatly needed.

Im going to go with an aftermarket Silvia grill because the stock one is ghay and blocks airflow. All the fenders are on. None are missing.

Trevultaspeed · 08-29-2004, 10:14 PM

How much did that paint job cost?

Good work, looks great.

spinitsidewayz! · 08-29-2004, 10:32 PM

nice but now the question is wheres the sr in that baby?! lol
seriously joking sorry.. ::ahem::

love the color. looks like nice fit too. what other future plans for the car?

JC · 08-29-2004, 10:36 PM

Paint was around $700. The SR is comming! Its would feel right at home in my car.

rlngtngku · 08-30-2004, 12:29 AM

looks amazing, good job.

Just curious, (don't flame me, im kind of a nub) how much does a sr20det go for in the states, and what the difference between red top and black?

EX-CATII · 08-30-2004, 04:04 AM

That's a nice 240, but where's the Silvia?

SR motors go for like $1500-$2000+ here. (No install) The red top came from older cars (Like Silvias, S13s, 180sx) and put out like 202HP and the black top comes out of newer cars (Like 1994+ Silvias, 180SXs, S13s, S14s, S15s) and puts out like 215HP. Not a real big difference, especially if your going to upgrade the turbo.

Next time just do a search.

UNST0PPABL3 · 08-30-2004, 10:14 AM

I was never really sure how the silvia converson worked?.... is it just a fender and bumper replacement? and then the lights also? or do you need to do some framework? thnx

JC · 08-30-2004, 10:49 AM

You take off the existing lights, bumper, fenders, and hood and just replace them with the Silvia ones. No framework needed. When you replace everything, it does not fit perfectly, so you have to spend some time adjusting and tweaking everything so it fits just right. Thats a pain in the a$$.

squints338 · 08-30-2004, 01:46 PM

Good job dude. It looks awesome. I'm hoping to see it at DDay3. Awesome job. Too bad about UPS though, I saw you on TR looking for new fenders. Looks really clean.

chmercer · 08-30-2004, 02:37 PM

boo, onevia style 4 lyfe

JC · 08-30-2004, 02:53 PM

Yea, I want to go to DD3, but I need to get my LSD installed! Plus Im broke... literally, so that does not help.

But, if I get the LSD in this week, Ill find a way to get some money and go.

BTW, I also posted in Nis/Infin tech sec on TR.

UNST0PPABL3 · 08-31-2004, 03:09 PM

waht do you mean the bar in the pic that you had to take out? whats that for? im not exactly sure what bar your talking about, is it the really huge one that sticks out? cuz I heard the silvia conversion takes off 26 pounds or something and is that it?

SilverGhost · 08-31-2004, 04:25 PM

sweet! i like the no-grill look...looks exotic

what kind of LSD do you have?

squints338 · 08-31-2004, 04:29 PM

Dude, just weld your LSD. Like 2 of my friends are doing theres this weekend. I know matt does it, but we have a welding machine. Matt knows a lot about LSDs so listen to him, lol.

JC · 08-31-2004, 07:57 PM

I have a VLSD (straight off a Silvia in Japan)

squints338, lol, Matt came over the night of the conversion and looked at my VLSD and he pulled everything apart and just was like... "you have the shitty kind". But, its in good condition and it will work for now.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Is it possible to put the S13 front end (the one that you have) on an S14? I was thinking of doing an SR20 conversion on my S14 but I'm told I should buy a new front clip?
