Hot damnit, were at it again.

Ill get to the specifications first, then go ahead and put up some pictures tonight. I have alot more for tommorow that I just have to shrink etc.

Car is a 1992 Nissan Silvia Coupe. Not converted, its real. Car is owned by Edgardo Ortiz, my partner whom also owns the 7second KA-T. He bought this car because he could not get his hands on a skyline and recently decided it was about time to start finishing the project.

Car was painted by el chulin from Puerto Rico. Took over 3 weeks to be done Perfectly. Every single square inch was painted including the underbody.

Jic Magic Full Titanium Catback Exhaust

* Rims
Hardest part of the build by far. We know we want a 19x9.5 rear and 19x8 front. Problem is Edgardo is really stuck on the Volk GT-F's but we really dont feel like waiting 4-6 months to get them in as the car should be done in its completion and running in a month to a month and a half. Any suggestions by the 240sxforums? Were stumped.

We are aiming to get about 600hp out of the car and possibly take it out here and there. This car is more of a show car that has some balls. We all agreed that the car shouldn't be in the street due to the amount of invested time and money there is into it, but we always say that crap and use the cars anyways.

Here are some pictures of the car right out of paint and getting a little wash when we took it out of storage.

The car right now has the entire wiring, front end, body pieces all on. I took the pictures but didnt host them yet. So I will post those up tommorow.

Enjoy and as always any questions, comments or suggestions are always welcomed!!

where he said very nice, how much? Thats off a movie, I dont know if he was being for real or not lol.

Anyways, you say " Mint 99 Spec JDM Silvia Headlights and Grille" Now, a 99 silvia would be a s-15 and they stopped making the s-13 silvia in 94 I believe and the s13 180 in 98 and that was the longest running s13 even though them are DEFENATALLY not the headlights used. They look like really clean silvia headlights however. Anyways, you say the same for the grille which looks really clean and nice, but now oem. Are you sure about what you have???? I really like the grille and wished I had one for myself, but oem? Not unless you have something so rare its very uncommen.

oh, and just wondering. What does it matter if its a real silvia or not if you have that much work into it and stripped it that much?? I know your putting it all back together but a RHD conversion wouldnt be that hard to do when its that bare anyways. I guess just because its a show car??? J/W

Also, you list the motor is a black top which is the same as the red top only newer, but yet its completly stripped down and reBUILT.

Anyways, It looks great, not trying to bust your balls. Just wondered why you chose certain ways of doing things, and I asked since I figure you wanted asked questions anyways since you made a thread on your car.
BTW, make sure to get back with me about that grille! That thing is hot!

Its 110% for sure a JDM Silvia Piece. I dont know which one it came off, but it did come straight from Japan and that is what I was told. We went looking for a set of cleaner jdm headlights since ours were scuffed during storage and when we went to our local jdm supplier that is what we were told it was. It has all the japanese model #'s etc and it fit right on. So not 110% sure on the year, but it is a silvia piece. We did have to make a bracket to get it to fit on our S13 grille section which leads me to believe its from a different year Silvia.

The S13 hatchback was available like our 91 all the way to 98 in Japan. The car was essentially the same but the exterior changed from time to time like the lights etc.

Were aiming for 600 horsepower and were using a Peakboost setup with GT40R turbocharger so the SR20 even though it was in good condition had to get rebuilt to withstand the power. Last thing we wanted was a shattered motor spilling oil all over that engine bay.

Call me up on the grille, I can give you the number to Mike who is a partner of mine who deals strictly with our JDM Importing Line of business. We have a container coming in next week, so we might be able to get that for you just like the one I have in the picture.

Also, not busting my balls on the questions. thats what we are here for!!

Very nice car! The headlights are the triple projector headlights found on your S13 silvia K's model. (I wanna say 91+) The Grill is definitely S14 you can tell by the script. I'm pretty sure its zenki S14. Someone correct me if im wrong.

Can't wait to see more pic's, Awesome build!
