Hey guys, I'm joe, 23 from Auckland, New Zealand. This isn't you're normal build thread on here of course (being a dirty Nissan) But I would appreciate some of your feedback with the stuff that reeeaallly matters (ie. drivedrain)
My father first brought me this car in 2005. A 1999 Nissan Silvia S14, SR20DE Automatic. As a 15 year old I was still going to high school and had no money, I really wanted to modify it back then, but my father was against it all, trying to stop me 'waisting' my money (I really should have listened)
After many years go by of having dumb wheels and lame lowering springs, I thought I would start to modify the car properly.
I purchased some Part Shop Max Coilovers, a few arms and other bits and pieces and threw them in, along with some LED tail lamps.
I'd always wanted a really clean and tidy look for the car, and always loved these Origin wings. Eventually a pair popped up locally and snagged them.
I then picked some some factory OEM Facelift aero, and Work CR Kai's in 18x9.5 +12 all round.
Drove it round for a while, really loved this thing, apart from the driveline which lacked in every which way.
This is where it all went downhill. A faulty jack caused my car to fall to the ground whilst i had my back turned getting the axle stands.
A couple months later after I had fixed it, A customer at my work backed his trailer into my drivers door which sucked so much.
And then a couple months after that, I got rear ended.
This is where I pretty much gave up on this car. I got so frustrated, I pulled it all down, and sold everything off it. I just kept it in standard form as a daily driver whilst i had this Landcruiser a buddy had for sale.
Hooned around in this for a year or so, but started missing being in a car..
