Sup guys! My AWD S15 project

[fearsome]

I am not new to NICO, just havent logged in a very long time and think my account was deactivated. Anyways I used to a 33 gtst and now I drive a 98 honda CR-V 4dr. I am now working on a new project. I am changing a 1998 S15 into an AWD. As of now my focus is on the body and the car is completely stripped. I dont have any current pics, the only one I have were taken over a year ago when the car was owned by another person. I got the car and sat for about year and now I starting back on it. Some of ya may recognize the this car.







minus that engine it was sold to somebody else.

A '98 s15?....wuh?

Yea 1998......?

[badbob2121]

to my knowledge, nissan produced the s15 silvia from 1999-2002.... you sure its a 98?

[urcaptnspeaking]

I thought they started production in 99 in Japan?

[fearsome]

Hmm for some reason I was under the impression it was a 98, I will check on that. I was gong off the Data plate on the firewall. I looked at it again and I barely saw it but there is in small letters next to 1998 "cc". So meaning 2 litre not the year of manufacture. My bad I will to look on the title for the year.

I got the strut towers from a donor car. Now I need to remove the paint to locate all spot welds to remove the metal from the strut tower itself and to fill in all the holes.

[Dano]

Nice! Wish I had access to a donor car!

[fearsome]

Well I started back on it again. Here what I have done. Just to see what it wood look like, I began to line up the GTR engine member along with the R34 strut towers. Waiting on some room in the shop to bring it in and start to welding.

Strut tower is just sitting there not in place.

Again this is not where the member will be. Its actually sitting about 10cm forward.

[fearsome]

Update! Waiting on the frames to be made, mean while I picked up an RB27 with a Tomei bottom end off of yahoo auction. Also will be getting a 6sp HKS(Hollinger) dog mission soon.

[300ZXttZMAN]

+1 i want update

[breadbox]

rb27? that sounds delicious. Can't wait for the next major update.

[gigabit240]

Well it could be that it was made in 98 for the 99 model year

[numbnuts240]

or maybe, just maybe, the car's original engine was 1998 cc's, as the op pointed out already...
