My "guess" would be they used adapter spacers, as (IIRC) BMW wheels have horrible offsets for most RWD Nissan/Infiniti cars.
Actually you'd be surprised with a lot of the larger bimmers! Well, like 5 series and above... The wheels off SuperMade's S15 are 19x9/10 +24 7series wheels... which works out well, because with the thickness of the adapters the wheels end up being extremely flush. Hmm that particular car also has a crazy Toyota 1JZ motor in it.. and it DOES get drifted on the track quite regularly... not to mention it's actually also driven-not trailered-across japan to various shows. Such a winner car!

Yea I know...

It was supposed to be just about the first pic. Then I just put some others in because I was just that bored.

I just felt like making my own thread for a change.

Sorry for the late response. Yeah, I saw the picture. Thanks.Yours has 2 stitch lines. Right? Mine has only one. It looks like whoever manufactured rear windows used white stitches on all of them. Don't know why yours has 2 lines. Maybe someone thought first one was not enough and reinforced it.

Hey guys

Just had to register to post here when i stumbled across this thread while googling.

I live in Perth, Australia - and this is my own Varietta that i thought u might like some pics of:













Its in the workshop now getting sr20det conversion, gt28rs disco potato, intercooler, exhaust, clutch, etc etc - cant wait to pick it up at the end of the week! No more sr20de :P

Also I may have missed it in the thread - but here a varietta i dont think i saw in the thread u might like also (if you like big kits and wings - personally i went sleeker lines)



Cheers from downunder - where importing is cheap and easy :P

VERY, that is by far one of the nicest Varietta's I've seen. Congradulations on it!

Oh, and I'll let you keep the car if you send those girls over here to me

btw, I have a friend named Pete who lives out in Bunburry. Drives an 89 or a 90 Silvia with a CA18DET conversion in it (started life as a Qs IIRC). He's on these boards as rexhunta, but he doesn't post too often. His friend Eon used to have an R33 Skyline GTS-T, but I think he got rid of it recently.

Dang!!! Sweet ride!!! Thanks for sharing nice pictures. I think you are officially very first s15 vert owner in this forum. I'm glad to see that your car is not HEAVILY modded exterior wise. It's clean that way.

Didn't know supermade had 2 of them. varietta looks sleek in action. Wow just wow!!

I have 70 pics of JDM Silvia verts and 11 pics of Variettas. The rest were lost when I cancelled my photobucket account (stupid thing was acting up)

I've also got hundreds of pics of the USDM verts. Greg's, yours, etc. Let me know if you'd like those. It'll take a while for me to get all to you so bear with me. I will try to tackle most of it on Friday night and hopefully over the weekend. I would suggest googling (don't forget yahoo) 240sx convertible, silvia convertible, nissan silvia convertible, nissan varietta, varietta, etc.

Also check cardomain for verts...there's a few on there. There's also at least 1 JDM version on there also...it's the hideous purple looking one I had posted up.

In the meantime here's some that I found on the net:

awesome!!

I appreciate the help. I wonder if it would be easiest to just send you some money and have you burn them to a disc and mail it to me??Or if you have AIM.. we could transfer files directly through that..

I'll see if I can think a few other ideas..

I have AIM but the stupid transfer thing never works for me. I have a couple blank CD's that I haven't had any use for so I'll put them on there. Just give me the address and I'll send it when I can.

I have 92 and 93 dealer brochures. Got them on eBay. I was going to frame them and hang on the wall, but never did. I also have s15 varietta brochure too. Yeah, they are my treasure.

I wanna see that Varietta brochure!

I also found a UK 200sx brochure...i'll post it up later.

BTW, Seth I wrote your address down, you can remove it...don't want people sending you unwanted junk mail.

I'll get to work on it tonight.

BTW I don't have a Paypal account. Think you can mail me a check or something?

(Do I see a custom title in the future? )
