Hi all,

I'm Sarah. I live in NZ (I'm an Australian!!!) in Auckland where I work for a financial adviser.

I currently own a Toyota Caldina & a 180sx. I've just sold my baby, which was a 1999 Nissan Silvia S15 Spec S and oh how I miss it!!

Signed up to Skylines Aus to hopefully learn a little!

Welcome to SAU, Im sure you'll learn a lot ..

U got any pics of your 180 or the Calinda?

of course!

The S15 that I just sold

When purchased it looked like this

and I sold it looking like this - after a respray in a custom blue with purple pearl, new kit and gtr rims

My dino on my new rims, have just put some coilovers in so sitting a little lower now. Respray to come end of the year probably black + purple pearl.

and the 180 project

the day it was purchased

and it's currently in a fabricator shop looking like this

hope to get about 300rwkw from it, should be lots of fun

Fcuk yeah!

Your Sil-80 looks bad ass! Satin black paint job FTW!

What are you fabricating? A wider body kit / guards?

It looked great the day you bought it!

LOL! Caldina's are fun, I have been in one, kinda like a turbo charged Corolla Sportivo with 4WD.

Damn! that s15 with those rims looks killer. I love the Sil80 as well..

Did you try to get much power out of these?

[Miss_S]

Having a half cage fabricated - for track days and a custom exhaust manifold made. He's also cut out some rust that we found after buying the body.

It's already got a big ass, so we don't need to go wider or bigger guards and when it's running (FINALLY) we'll get it sprayed a midnight purple.

The Caldina is ok, got some good boooooooost but I miss the handling of the sil. Working on improving the handling of the dino though.

Yeah the rims looked hot on the S15 hey. Didn't do any engine mods at all, was stock spec S so about 141 kw.

As said above the sil80 should put out about 300rwkw if not more

^^Yeah right, awesome!

Keep it Satin Black!

Mods on the Sil-80?

Nice,

Where you going to find a RB25DE out of a R32, unless you find a R32 GTS-25 or Type-X, S, XG.

Why bother with the N/A block, when you can just go for the R33 GTS-T RB25DET engine conversion...

RB25DET conversion will be a good start and then start upgrading that.

This Sil-80 is drift pig for sure.

[Miss_S]

yep it's gonna be mean can't wait til it's running

already have RB25DE out of a R32... in fact, have everything on the list + more, but don't ask coz I don't know lol
