Dude that is super nice! I've never really wanted a kouki, but that is precisely how I'd have mine if I ever picked one up. Looks rad!

silviaks2nr · 07-25-2021, 09:15 AM

A+ looks sharp.

dizzariot · 07-26-2021, 05:16 AM

Anyone else have anything to post? I've got some updates but I don't want to half-ass my pictures here...

Thats the first thing that comes to mind every time I drive the car. As soon as I find it though I plan on buying.

nice car, that engine bay is hot

Stock suspension with RS-R lowering springs. The car came like this but was otherwise not modified beyonf the TEs I recently posted and the audio components. All the original parts (head unit, springs, etc) were included in the sale. I'd like to source some side skirts but I don't really want to mount them. I like the '0-aero-parts' look.

The older I get the more I like "0-aero", but that could just be the rarity of seeing a nice stock car. It would be hard to resist Aero sides/ valances and a front lip, though.

Also, I never realized how small the Spec-R OEM width and offset is. What's the usual safe rim size for no roll? 8.5"-9" with a +31?

silviaks2nr · 08-05-2021, 07:19 AM

I think it looks great just like that man.

I have no intentions of changing anything on the body. I'll just be adding the SpecR bolt-in braces and maybe a set of SpecR brakes. If I get the sides, they're just to keep and avoid the inevitable mark-up (to the already existing mark-up) and I'd probably get the rear spats from Nissan too.

In all honesty ALL of the inspiration I got for an EV1 was from old videos of '0-aero' yellow cars. I don't think the aero bumper would actually look good on EV1.

I have a second aero bumper that was supposed to go on the AJ4 SpecR but I haven't bothered to pick it up from my friend and get it on the car. It's nice to have these things waiting though so I don't have to search/fight on the auctions later. I think certain colors just make you want full aero and others don't pull it off so well.

I don't know what the safest size is for stock body w/roll. I was running 17X9+22 on both cars and it would rub under the 'typical' scenarios. I just got some 17X8.5+30 wheels and I'm willing to bet they're still gonna cause similar problems if/when I use them.

The car was on those 17X8.5+40 (w/5mm spacer) TE37SLs I posted for sale and didn't rub when I was driving to work.

spooled240 · 08-05-2021, 08:01 PM

It looks good, but the optional aero bumper is a must-have for me on a s15. And then of course youd need the skirts and rear spats to complete the look. I'm a greedy man..

jay70 · 08-07-2021, 09:52 PM

my 180 the day i picked it up 4-5 years ago

put some parts on and daily drove and drifted for years

got stolen and was recovered like this

got some bodywork done. shaved some stuff and filled some holes

back on the street. feels good

dizzariot · 08-10-2021, 03:35 PM

VS6s are super cool in 16". I had a couple sets before and sold them like an idiot. If I can sell a SpecR and the parts/wheels I currently have I'm going to 'fix' some of the mistakes I've made and getting a set of VS6 is on the top of that list lol.

Jarom717 · 09-08-2021, 03:28 PM

Not sure what counts as + but besides the lip, aero is all oem. Dropped right now with dmax coils and voodoo arms. Stock sr20 with some bolt on's. Hard to get a good pic of this car. Silvermoss looks great when the sun is bright but the lmgt4's can't be seen otherwise.

If it's factory white and a solid color, only 326 Super White was available in 1993.

KG5 Ivory White was an '89/90 color only.

This is the type of knowledge I would be called a nerd for. I applaud you, good sir.

I think he?s saying that 326 was the only white color you could choose from that year, not that it was exclusive to that year.

Exactly. KG5 Ivory White was the only solid white available in 1989 and 1990, while 326 Super White was the only solid white available 1991 through 1994.

KiLLeR2001 made a great reference chart available in this thread that also covers production numbers of rare colors: https://zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=513294
[ADMIN EDIT: KiLLeR2001 did NOT make that chart. It was originally created by Kyle Matsushita (if memory serves) and was originally hosted on socal240sx.org]

AKsamuraiS14 · 09-21-2021, 09:30 AM

I think when we pulled it from the VIN it gave a 613 code. Not 100% though

Krazy719 · 09-21-2021, 10:15 AM

Awesome man thanks I would have been upset hella appreciate it !

gripster · 10-13-2021, 02:17 PM

Just found and loving this thread.

I've been gone a while since I mothballed my car in 2017.

Will add photo later. My car just needs a paint job. Typical 90s clearcoat failure.

AKADriver · 03-24-2022, 04:40 PM

Oof. One other obvious thing, it has a '96 grille...
