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.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
