Another episode of "what's in the garage"...I was up at the garage this weekend working on my car and saw this car for the first time. I sat there staring at it for a minute.

Damn, life and work have been incredibly crazy and busy these past few weeks.
I got my brand new Z32 backing plates in from nissanparts.cc. Still waiting on R33 e-brake cables from them. Also I got my Agency Power front conversion lines and SPL rear lines. ![]() Since I had a S13 Greddy RSPL FMIC kit laying around, I decided not to let it go to waste and did some cutting to make it fit the S15. I finished mocking everything up for the most part. Just waiting on my Tial bov to come in so I can get the flange and piping all welded up. Also received my Greddy intake pipe in. Since inlet is 3 inch for z32, I'm planning on getting a spacer made so I can use the stock s15 maf on it for now....instead of using an ugly 3 to 2.5 inch reducer coupler. ![]() And since S13 and S14 intercooler mounting points are different on Greddy kits, I made mounting brackets for it. I bought 6061 aluminum flat bar and bent it on a vise. I didn't have a torch handy so I went ahead and bent it and then welded where it cracked...should work great! ![]() |

You don't have to be rich to own an S15. You just got to be ready when the opportunity comes along. |

Finally received my wheel faces back from polishing. Spent some of Saturday doing some touch up. A company in cali called California Chrome Wheel did the work. I only paid 300 bucks plus shipping there and back. I felt like it was an amazing price considering other companies were quoting me 500+ dollars for the work. There was even one company that quoted me 800 dollars.
![]() ![]() Then spent today doing the final assembly at the garage. Still need to install my Volk Racing center caps that I recently bought new so people will stop calling these things VS-XXs. 160 dollars for center caps was hard to swallow but oh well... ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Snapped this picture of my buddies LS FD while I was driving home from the garage. This is my first rolling shot and considering I was driving while taking the pic, I think it turned out pretty nice.

Today I took my greddy intake pipe and chopped off the bov recirculation port and the port where one of the crackcase vents goes. I am not recirculating my bov and I guess this was made for s13 sr since there is already a crankcase vent port on the turbo inlet that bolts to the stock turbo so no need for either. I filled/welded the holes up first.
![]() Then I grinded the welds down smooth. I need to go back and fill some of the thinner areas. I'll regrind and go back and polish the whole thing. ![]() |

I got the intake all done. Just need to do some final sanding with 3000 grit and polish it. I took a hone and smoothed out the inside of the intake as well.
![]() ![]() Here is the plastic spacer I had machined so I wouldn't have to use a reducer coupler. ![]() Bryan Fuller built Impala. Every bolt on this car is ARP. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Thanks man. I do not remember giving anyone any directions but then again I was so zoned out the whole weekend. I had been stressing out all week to get the car running for IA and finally got it done at 8PM on Friday.
