Well this 95 has gone from a Zenki, to a Kouki, and now to a Strawberry Face...she is just a whore. Only thing I need for the outside still is the new 18s (which are coming) and a small rear lip spoiler. Did all the work ourselves.

The parts are all GTP parts up front which everyone thinks fit like crap but take a look how mine fits with zero modifications, we bolted it on right after we painted it all. Fitment is perfect and the lines match perfectly. Only problem is with the hood, I got a defunct hood that is getting replaced because it is tweaked on one side. Other than that I'm very satisfied. :D

the wheels are a bit sunken, but other than that, it's hot... get some 20mm bolt on spacers for each corner, maybe a bit more for the rear w/ that camber.

Those fenders are fiberglass. We have some available "we are a GTP dealer" but the carbon fiber fenders are on back order. "now that I think about it everything carbon is on back order :P

Looks nice man. I'm more inclined to like the S14.5 than a Strawberry, and yours is well done. Kudos man!

I love the hole for the giant intercooler. Your likely to catch a grip of small animals in that thing!

nope, different spoke design, those look closer to Blitz Type 03's but I don't think they are.

stock R33 GTR's

uh...strawberry face is S14.5

i think it's called that because in japanese 15 is ichi-go...which coincidentally means strawberry...so ichi-go face is strawberryface is 15 face...

i think that's right

ROFL are you kidding? 20mm spacers would be downright dangerous. nice car, any pics of the rear?

not all spacers are dangerous. and yes, he would need those to get them to be real flush.

Thanks for the great comments guys, the wheels are MHT Quans (2-piece) but they are just subs until I get some really nice wheels.

I didn't take any pics of the rear of the car with the different wheels but here is a pic of it with the older wheels.

And more with the both my cars together.

IVEBEENBAD: Well the fenders, hood, headlights, and bumper were all changed for the S14.5 conversion.

w1ngzer0: yeah that is my favorite pic, now I gotta take a new one though. I'll admit the Kouki lights look like the car really is mad, they are so good looking.

EDIT: By the way, I got the setup from Chris at Underground-Motorsports.com since someone asked.

Odd. I always read online and had it explained to me that a Strawberry face was an S13 with S15 front end.

EDIT: After some quick Goolge time, it seems that ANY S15 conversion is a Strawberry. The Ichi-go means "1" and "5". Concidentally, Ichi-go also means "strawberry".
