My 2001 S15 Spec R build thread - fun times - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

chad_everson · 10-01-2007, 10:15 PM

Ok so I decided to start one of these threads. I really never have in the past because all my builds take a long time and i forget to get pics along the way etc etc.. So This time I will actually try and do it each step of the way.. Its going to take a lil more time than normal since the car is up in seattle. I go up there every other weekend or so.. Not going to say what all is going in the car. You will have to wait for updates. Right now its ready for Justin Elin at Position 1 racecraft to do the stitch weld and full cage.. Anyway here is the start of the build..

The beginning:

chad_everson · 10-01-2007, 10:15 PM

Getting everything stripped and ready for the stitch weld and cage.. Just need to get the sound det. out and Position 1 can get going on it. Will get the sound det out next weekend hopefully.. Enjoy.

Did you end up selling all the stock parts?

chad_everson · 10-01-2007, 10:17 PM

yeah almost all of the stock parts all sold..

steve_o1989 · 10-01-2007, 10:21 PM

Can I do your car?

That thing is so sexy. I cant wait to see progress on this beaut.

Andrew Bohan · 10-01-2007, 10:32 PM

i got dibs on providing stickers

hah

drift freaq · 10-01-2007, 11:18 PM

Ah Chad, I hate to break it to you but if thats the front bumper it came with someone did a switch on you. Thats not a Spec R bumper. I would look your car over carefully and check documention on it. Its possible someone put Spec R badges on a non spec R S15. Because it does not look like its in Spec R trim and like I said that front bumper is not Spec R its just a regular old S15 bumper.

liv2drift045 · 10-01-2007, 11:52 PM

i was under the impression that specR meant turbo, like K's means on silvias

Spec R's had a more aggressive front bumper and factory side skirts. As far as the turbo goes most likely yes the turbo was an upgraded version of the stock one. Though do not quote me on the turbo part. Though I know about the bodywork side of it. His car has the skirts but not the bumper which makes me think someone swapped it on him.
This is a spec R bumper.

kdashy · 10-02-2007, 12:12 AM

Its probably just a Spec-R and not a Spec-R Aero.

Sag3r · 10-02-2007, 12:13 AM

Damn liken it already...Looking good

chituntang · 10-02-2007, 12:34 AM

uh no. if you look at the picture drift freaq provided the bumpers look nothing alike.

CKAMC · 10-02-2007, 12:45 AM

yeah its just a regular spec r... and they have other package models like "aero, v-package, b-package, electronic control, l-package, ect"

Spec-R Aero

Stock Spec-R

its nice to see something fairly new get worked on... no rust or signs of abuse along with being completely stock minus the wheels and shifter.

looks like protection for the fuel pump harness... you know instead of the pump being located on the right its on the left instead.....

wonder why....

I could be wrong but its just a guess on this one

JohnC · 10-02-2007, 01:09 AM

That is the spec r trunk brace. I have it on my S14 as well as the two pieces in the front of the trunk. The spec r also comes with B pillar bracing that attaches to the floor and C pillar braces that you can just make out in one of the pics. The spec r also had roof reinforcements and front and rear underbody reinforcements that tie the frame rails together.

Apart from the roof bracing I have all the parts. The frame rail reinforcements made a huge difference! the rest, I really cant say.

azndoc · 10-02-2007, 01:12 AM

Damn I want a S15.

Ask Chris he'll tell ya.

GL with the build.

Anto · 10-02-2007, 01:24 AM

nice, baller

i like you

you make things happen

oh oh, it's magic, you know

Bushido · 10-02-2007, 01:32 AM

how does one go about acquiring one of these, and making it legit?

lol don't we all wish. You don't for street. You can acquire one and use it for track only though. I.E. trailer it to and from the track.

Tops* · 10-02-2007, 01:57 AM

That is one foine-ass girl! Good at stripping too.

there are maybe 3 importers in the states(one I know of the other two I have HEARD of) that can get one legalized in certian states at a premium.

Let me made that clean... AT A PREMIUM

Touge 180sx · 10-02-2007, 02:45 AM

Nice work Reppin the NW! So what trim level is it?

dvdevo · 10-02-2007, 03:51 AM

wow so nice.

*fliprayzin240sx* · 10-02-2007, 06:25 AM

You want somewhat legalize? Registered as a kit car in FL...

Anyways, whats the plan for the engine? How much power are you shooting for and what to do with the crappy 6 speed tranny once you start shooting over 350 hp?

chad_everson · 10-02-2007, 01:50 PM

OK a lot of questions asked..

Thanks for all the coments.

It is a Aero Spec R. I have all the docs for it. The spec R bumper got messed up from shipping so I got a new one..
'
The brace is stock..

The car is legal. I daily drive it..

I am not staying with the stock sr20 motor. Going with something completely different and not saying what. You guys will see once I get the mounts made and the motor in

Glad you guys are enjoying the build...

-Chad

Koopa Troopa · 10-02-2007, 02:17 PM

S15 SR's have been proven to make 570 p/s on stock internals.... Why use anything else?

Anto · 10-02-2007, 02:18 PM

I want to see either an RB or an turbo LSx motor in there

wee yipieee
you know he's going for 350+

I do not care about how much power it is making. I do have a goal in mind though. I am changing it out because the norm is to just build the sr. I want to do something out of the norm..
