Street Tuned's Nissan - 200SX S15  

TwinCam16

That's a massive sleeve job!

obey.

More tasteful than most the cars on here.

I am not a fan of s15's but you would have to be an idiot to say this isn't a nice car.

Street Tuned

Yeah the whole modification process was really a "Less is More" approach.

I tried to modify the in a way of "How should it have come from factory" I've tried to make the car look as 'stock' as possible as well as powder coating everything in the engine bay black to keep the constabulary away.

Apart from plenty of speeding tickets I've never once had any 'Random' problems with this car if you know what I mean.

obey.

This is going to sound a bit smart arse but I don't think a body kit. FMIC and volk gt-c's are a way to make a car look like it came like that factory.

With all due respect.

Street Tuned

LOL fair call

Well I guess the whole "How should it have come from factory" was a bit more influence than keeping it stock.

But the wheels and body kit I thought to the untrained eye look like they belong and came from factory.

obey.

Well in saying that it's hard for someone who knows what they are looking at to see a car in the same eyes as the general public with no clue.

i agree with street tuned. This does look relatively factory to the untrained eye (except maybe the tail lights and obviously the exhaust)

good job tho, mint s15 man

GTRVspec95

Want

Except for the altezza rear lights

Sharpy

Are you talking about the piston sleeves, or the photographers?

TwinCam16

OH SHARPY HAS THE CALL OF THE YEAR !!!

ratta tat tat

How could anyone not be a fan of S15's?? IMO your'e either in denial or you don't want to be seen as following the crowd. There's simply nothing to dislike about these cars

obey.

They are nice cars but they just aren't for me.
I just don't like the shape. They can look pretty cool with a 180sx front end on them, lol.

Nice man. People always go all out to try and be different and 'one up' the last guy but most of the time its great to have something that has been modified tastefully and wont really go out of fashion.

Also I thought I heard you say on the forum a few times your car runs high 11's but you said you haven't taken it down the quarter mile yet??

Street Tuned

Yes that is right mark however the 11.7 was in a different specification, old tune, Stock Shocks and Springs, on MT Street radials and most importantly C16. which is a vastly better drag set up than what I'm running now, this is more a Street set up for hill climbing and every day driving.

So in street trim I haven't 1/4 miled it, I suppose I should have mentioned that

91 silvia style

tasteful...not a fan of the ebay lights though...i think you can do better and you know it

Street Tuned

hahaha I must be the only person who likes them. They go with the black and grey colour scheme I'm going for

I would like to go Yashio Factory LEDs but really can't justify $600+ on tail lights. Perhaps it might be time to go back to the stock ones.


Future plans are pretty limited I'm kind of over spending money on it as the way you see it here it has cost me over $60 000 including buying the car for $32 000 in 05.
But defiantly a Z32 5 speed conversion is a must.
Maybe a GTR brake upgrade or some kind of larger brake set up even the DS2500 pads have trouble pull it up sometimes.
Possibly a 100hp shot of NOS or a larger turbo - I am considering a TRUST T67 or Garret 3076r but not too keep on the high mount so I might consider a Garret 3071r to get me to 300kw atw.

Akshunhiro

That's first thing I noticed and lol Sharpy.

Also, I like the Lenso Speed Six's that were on it. Suited it quite well I thought.

Overall it's a really nice package and I like that you focused on drivability and performance rather than chromies and tan leather.

Boostn32GTR

Any car with such work done by the one owner is due massive repect! Its a true testiment, and do drive it daily or several times a week must be rewarding, congrats mate, well done! If your chasing a z32 or rb25 box pm me!

punksnut

yesum...

super made and vertex do them too... they shouldnt be more than 500, in japan anyway, and im sure you'd know someone there..

i say do the 6speed internals, rather than do the box, ikeya formula, hpi, nismo or os synchros would be nice... wouldnt be far off the conversion cost either, once you factor in tailshaft and, clutch depending on which box you shifted to...

apart from your 100mm dwarfing my 87 , your setup is very similar to mine...

what does the 100 bore extrapolate to in overall cc?


mmm... i like!

roBadizzle

Man thats so nice, much respect, engine bay looks so stock yet making awesome power. Hopefully i could get mine like that haha! Good job dude.

obey.

The tail lights being good or bad is subjective not objective so if you like them go for it.
Who cares what the latest trend is.

Zeeute

This car is so mint!

Who dat

I love s15's but bodykits on a s15 is not my thing, and the volks are nice, but they just look out of place on yours.
other then that looks good and love the power figure

Kane

Because people naturally have different tastes? Fucking ignorance is just radiating from you :headwall:


I love this, well done man!

8700s14

is it just me, or does it sit a whole lot higher at the front than the back?

JAM13

Fark 10' member. You do sound like a smartass man... clearly you have no idea.

Very tidy, nice.

AWWW SNAP

i think you find that most people who go all out and over the top with their modifications (ie-90% of autosalon) are generally trying to appeal to the greater masses.... those who know little-to-nothing about cars.....

whereas cars like OP's s15 will usually appeal more to those who know a little more about what constitutes a good balance of form and function. and usually have a fairly thorough working knowledge of cars.

i will support this by saying that i know I for one..... even though s15's are not high on my list of "cars to crack fats over", would certainly turn my head to watch this roll past over any queen st racing-type shitpile.... no matter how shiny it's ludicrous paintjob is.......


good job OP. you've been patient and grounded, and it shows.

42UNE

awesome example of a s15! well done

Marcus89

agreed on taillights being fail. Also rear looks like it needs to be raised a bit or front needs to be lowered in the photo it seems be sitting higher front to rear

Marcus89

Saw this too late but agree

Street Tuned

Fark Im having major posting issues with Firefox.

Yeah keen eye you have there with the height. In the photos that was actually the day the TRUST Type S coil overs were put in. We did it late in the afternoon and run out of sun light to adjust them properly so the back sat really low and the front sat much higher. that is how they are set up out of the box which I thought was weird.

Anyway now I have taken it to Fulcrum and they have sorted it all out, they have been corner weighted and set up perfectly for handling. ODDLY enough the car is actually street legal ride height if you can believe that.

The motor really has been built to handle 700hp+ but basically just so I can beat on it day in and day out however I choose.

I did buy it initially to get into drifting but soon realised how much it wrecks yours car so I've built it up as more a hill climber, street racer track car that is as street legal as possible.

You are right John the Speed 6s were nice although they had the worst offset. But one actually cracked badly hitting a pot whole at 150+ and they don't make them any more as which point these Volks came up for $1800 delivered with ADVAN tyres which I couldn't say no to.

clutch-monkey

looks pretty good. are the canards functional or for style?
i do like that it's not going to get abused by drifitng etc though. interested to see some circuit times.
