Other ride... Nissan 200SX S14.5

by **ned** » March 19th, 2009, 11:10 pm

Yeh I know, not the usual cup of tea on here but it was cheap and aftermarket support for these things is fantasssssssstic!

It's a 200SX, with an S15 (aka. strawberry face) conversion. Car remains basically stock except for full 3" stainless from the turbo back, boost controller, FMIC and pod. Interior had some gay white painted bits but is now all back to stock. Dunno where this one is gonna end up haha, but it feels alright to break up the Falcon's in the driveway at home.

This is what it looked like when purchased...

And this is now...

Since purchased a new kit for it, consisting of M-Sport front bar and Vertex rear and sides.

Have decided to keep it red but I went with Velocity Red as seen on the Mazda RX8's, hard to see using a mobile phone camera.

I dropped the car off today, inners are getting painted tomorrow, insides of the bonnet, boot, and doors have already been done, then I'll bolt everything back on and the whole car will get painted. As far as I know I haven't seen another one this colour and definitely not in Geelong anyway, so the end result should hopefully be something different to what's already out there.

Anyways, sorry for the long post and pointless thread, but I'm bored lol.

Peace,
\/\/estside.

Tough! Can't wait to see the end result, should look fairly mint. But get that falcon of yours turbo after this is painted....this can wait

by **ned** » March 19th, 2009, 11:16 pm

Falcon is going ahead don't worry. Need something to drive around while one or the other is off the road haha.

I hope you've sold those wheels already though

by **ned** » March 20th, 2009, 11:47 am

Haha it's not that low anymore, will be getting some coilovers eventually. In the first pic it was just on UltraLows compressed, as for the wheels they aren't sold but they won't be going back on the car either lol. I have been keeping an eye out for a set of these...

Thanks for the comments guys!

by **Steady** » March 20th, 2009, 1:13 pm

Looks tough with the S15 front, what do japs call that, strawberry face or some shit? or is that only on 13s?
Either way, S14 front looks shit, so that looks much better.
Good stuff, needs more 28rs though :grin:

Guessing no dorifto with the new paint hahaha

The exact opposite to a Falcon I'm dead set serious too lol. You steer it and goes exactly where you want it to go.

Steady as for the dorifto... well if it does happen I just gotta be fucken careful lol.

by **Kaddis** » March 20th, 2009, 4:07 pm

Did you buy it off a bloke called Ryan?

I don't have anything bad to say, he always kept his cars clean and mint.

by **ned** » March 20th, 2009, 4:43 pm

Nah wasn't Ryan, I must have bought off the bloke after him.

by **Sunboost** » March 20th, 2009, 4:51 pm

Looks good.

SUCUMB plates are ace! Some people think of the best plates

by **Kaddis** » March 20th, 2009, 5:38 pm

Also does it still have the JSpec sticker on it?

JSpec=Fail.

by **Mr_4.0** » March 20th, 2009, 6:00 pm

by **ed xr6** » March 20th, 2009, 8:19 pm

by **ned** » March 21st, 2009, 12:50 am

by **SnyperEB** » March 21st, 2009, 2:50 pm

If only you could convert an S15 front to an E-Series. Might look a little wierd.
Some guys did it to an MR-2 in the U.S...........looked shithouse.

Soft spot for s-15's love the car man.
