the kit, wheels, interior and mild engine work... all of the mods combined make the car special.. alot of people throw stuff at cars that dont really go well together... IMHO all mods on this car complement each other and work very well together and thats what makes it special.. the way in which the mods have been carried out all fit in perfectly with each other... not just modded for the sake of modding it

Taken with my trusty old Canon FT QL and some sensia slide film. Scanned using a Frontier lab (blame them for the shithouse colour balance I don't yet have the software to fix) but take a squizz anyway :D

What's so special? How about a custom widebody that keeps all the original lines?

you have obviously never seen this car in real life have you?? lots of people with wide bodies dont bother to get the guards and stuff to meet the head lights, they dont bother getting the rear quarters to meet the tail lights, they merely hang them off the edge so to speak which in my eyes looks good but Greg didnt like that so he made sure everything blended in. Most people to be honest dont even notice its a wide body which in my eyes proves how well everything works. If you knew what sort of panels went into making this kit you would understand, but i dont have the time to type it up. The car is 12cm wider overall and is actually wider than a GTR.......

RB26 S15 :P:);) Now that would be nice, cant wait to drive it :D:D:D

Ido09s, I've met Greg, seen the car in real life and spent over 6hours with it while it was photographed for SPEED magazine. I know what you're talking about, and that's my point. Greg kept the original character lines intact when he built the car while adding some serious girth (enough to get the track as wide as an R33 GT-R)

whats special about the s15 apart from the body kit

ido09s, I'm assuming that Sonic was replying to junkie13's post (as above).

I regret not having taken a better look at it myself now :slap: , it did look good from a distance...

I've added my photos from the day to the SnS Gallery. They're not that special, but they're there.

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      Good to hear. Hopefully you're happy enough not to notice when driving and just enjoy yourself.

      I mean, most of us just love cars. Doesnt necessarily have to be a skyline.

      Did you pick up a manual cluster to remove the position indicator?  (Pretty sure the 34 has the gear position in the cluster, but it's been a while)

      Here is a recipe. Sonic blocks till you get one that has a good enough bore. Get a torque plate and block brace, use your choice of fasteners (arp ect) bolt the thing together empty, half fill it and let it cure. Release it when it has, go to a REPUTABLE RB Builder and get the thing line bored/honed and cylinder honed to size, then wash. Once its all clean and dandy, wash and blow it out again. Then again.  Assemble said engine to your desired clearances with oil control mods, gasket to suit desired CR/Squish ect. Attach your extended sump with proper trap door oil baffles and head drain plumbed to sump with a SUMP BREATHER SYSTEM. Build your front diff with a decent LSD, rebuild your transfer case with a few extra plates, more than likely replace your tailshaft centre bearing and tighten up the rear diff. Tune to minimise excessive midrange cylinder pressure (timing unless you like to split bores and rebuild engines) Enjoy your engine, but hate the fact you are now destroying engine mounts, gearboxes, gearbox mounts, diff output flanges and driveshafts, diff mounts, tailshafts and front CV's.   Disclaimer.... Ive never done any of the aforementioned stuff.......

      440s will support well over 400HP on petrol, which is a decent place to be for an RB20. 230+rwkW. Will be a safer bet for idle/low load. 550s would be nice for the extra headroom. I've made the same decision with mine (Neo25). 1000s are probably too big for the Nistuned ECU, so I have some smaller ones.
