just picked mine up about three weeks ago. some of you may know me from Nopi last year, or just from seeing my old coupe around the forums. anyways, just wanted to say hi and show the only pic i have so far. ive got to get some more.
the only mod i have is the Silvia front end so far, but there are many more on the way.

WELCOME!!!
ive just started getting some of my parts in, such as:
-new floor mats-gauge pod-strut bars and lower tie bar
im looking at wheels and suspension right now, but money is really tight. as far as the motor goes, im going to leave it alone for the time being. it runs good and i dont know where i want to go with it yet. ill keep you guys updated as time goes on with pics and maybe some vids. thanks for the compliments.

OEM floor mats, if so where?USDM240 wrote:ive just started getting some of my parts in, such as:

What gauge pod, as I know the A-pillars are different on Vert, so the one for the coupe/hatch would have to be modified.

Re: (USDM240)
Where'd you get the mats? Special order, website...?USDM240 wrote:they are OEM style mats but have 'SILVIA' stitched in the center. (i know im a ricer. )
and yeah, the gauge pod doesnt fit. i just realized that. does anyone make one that fits the 'vert?
Not one that I know of, the A-pillar on the Vert is so flat that it would be hard to find a pre-molded one. May just have to modify that one somehow or mount gauges in a different place (pocket under radio or on dash).

i just had them made with the Silvia logo in the center to be different. plus i have a bunch of matching Silvia stuff.
and yeah, ill probably just put the gauges under the cd player. i know someone that had a 'vert and somehow had made a gaugepod work on the pillar. i guess i need to try to get ahold of him.

Re: (USDM240)
Ok I just saw those on ebay, looked like a decent deal. I've got some "custom" ones that fit fine in the Vert now, just would prefer to have the OEM onesUSDM240 wrote:

I'm sure there is a way to fit them on the A-pillar, maybe a different car has that flat of A-pillar. Someone one here should know (but you may have to search or start a new thread to get that answered).
Re: (biggie)
yeah, i figured as much. i did just happen to notice a pic of a 'vert with a universal pod here on this page and it seemed to be a damn close fit. so i may try that.biggie wrote:Ok I just saw those on ebay, looked like a decent deal.

and ill see if i cant get some pics of the floor mats in my car, so that you can get an idea of how they fit and look in person.
