Lookin' good, man.... Are you going to go with the regular Sivia front grill plate, or are you going to do the R32 GTR style grill... Personally, I like the regular Silvia grill a lot better....
How much did you find it for?... Did you install it yourself?...
I'm planning on doing a JDM Silvia nose on my coupe as well, so I would love some tips on finding/installing it.....
i'm planning on getting an R32 grill. i took off the stock silvia grill cuz it blocks too much air...and i don't really like the way it looks =\
yeah my friends and i installed it. my other friend has an S13 coupe with the front, he bought another front and was gonna give it to his brother...but then decided he needed money, so he sold it to me for very cheap =]
right now i'm trying to find a good deal on triple projector headlights, mine are all yellow and ****ed up, and i don't really like the dual projectors...too common. but oh well, i like how it looks =]
pretty soon it's going to be all white, my front lip on it, plus some nismo side skirts, and some gold rims. i have racing hart c2's, gonna paint the center gold and leave the lip silver. also trying to find some meshies to put up front...gonna paint those gold when i get em. my car is almost done in the looks department =]

Good luck with the sileighty project pRaHjeC, personally I would paint the center of the rims black with silver lip tho! =D
Anyway below is a link with pictures from 'Brisbane AutoSalon' down here in Australia, im not a fan of the 'show scene' but its still an interesting look and some examples are quite nice!

My favorite of the Silvias is the S15 Spec-R Aero. I'm not too fond of the roar of a Nissan turbo motor, but the Silvia is perchance one of the best sleepers. It's so elegant and sweet to the eyes. It's beautiful with its low headlights, clean lines, and the big tail lights at the back (that I thought was a turn-off at once, but now, I don't mind them). Even with the Spec-R Aero model, it doesn't look seriously flamboyant.
The S15 Silvia. Beautiful eyes, sweet face, elegant lines, and all powered by a 246hp turbo motor. SR20DET (that's the motor right? Sorry, I am not really big on Nissan even though the Skyline R34 is perhaps one of the most powerful cars in Japan). What's not to love? The S15 is a beautiful girl anxiously awaiting for you to hug the steering wheel and take out on the road. What's not to love? Only damn shame is that this is not sold in America. But fear not. A nice 240SX -> S15 conversion is always possible.

it will never be the same =\
and how can you NOT love the sound of an SR20?
and how can you POSSIBLY say the S15 is a sleeper? if you EVER see one driving on the streets in the US, you can be sure it's no sleeper. even stock, it's powerful enough to blow away mustangs and camaros like nothing...

Man, I wish I could go SR, especially with the problems i've been having with my KA.... But the cops around here are real dip****s about it...

You guys can't have SR20's in California????
I thought you guys were aloud pretty much everything..since you guys have MOTOREX dealer up there..and you guys have Skylines too..
Down't here in Toronto we're aloud to have'em.. but as for the skylines only 15 yr old cars can be imported..
And I thought Canada was tight on rules..WOW!!!
california is like the most horrible state about smog laws, we can't have ANYTHING. no intakes except for like AEM, cuz their **** is CARB legal.
the skylines from motorex have been meticulously taken through every legal way to import a car in from another country. haven't you ever wondered why they cost so much at motorex? 90k+ for a stock R34? you know in japan theyre like less than 30k right? but yeah, motorex went through considerable expense to get those cars legalized, which is why they're legal in all 50 states IF you buy them from motorex.

Sorry for not replying earlier ottoman but holden have had me workin hard!.I am a first year apprenttice mechanic at a big holden dealership.Anyway your godzilla sounds sweet.How much psi are you runing? if you dont mind me askin.With your boost gauge dilemma i personaly like the old school cool gauges but the new school electric ones have built in computers in them and have allsorts of handy tuning advantages.Like,adjustible boost in diffrent gears(which is handy for 1/4mile & drift),bar & kpa & psi readings and allsorts of good things.So its a toss up?.Anyway i am shore you will choose the rite one.Good luck mate and keep me updated on your projects and mods if you can? and i`ll get back to you as soon as possable bye. 👍

That must realy SUCK use carnt have intake systems except AEM thats **** over here in aussie the cops are cracking down on intake systems AKA pod filters they are allso cracking down on exhust systems and BOVS (blow off valves).It isnt that bad i mean we get all the skyline`s,supra`s,wrx subaru`s,evo`s,rx7`s,AND ALL THE OVER GOODIES SO ITS NOT THAT BAD.So this (MOTOREX)is it the only place to buy japanese imports with out importing them your self?.Its stupid all the laws. over her in aussie imports arnt a problem and the laws arnt that bad.But your laws are strict by the sounds of it when it comes to imported cars but your gun laws arnt strict at all.Are they? correct me if i am rong but any one can go out and buy a gun but not a japanese import car that sounds stupid to me.DONT WE ALL JUST LOVE THE GOVERMENT AND ITS LAWS.Anyway the japanese have and are bring out hybrid cars and they are going to be very popular and are flooding japan and other country`s so the price of skylines and heaps of turbo weapons are going to dramaticly drop in price as long as the laws dont keep getting strictor use might have some luck.It will be a little while before this happens but the way fuel prices are going these new affordable hybrid cars are going to sell like hot cakes!.do you want to know more?.gotta go i`ll get back to use bye.

You can't import JDM cars yourself, at least, not if you want them to be street legal without a huge amount of hassle. And you can only import a very limited number of vechicles.
silviadrifterI think you exceeded your bandwidth, the pics aren't working, Ottoman... However, I did see some of the other pics... Nice R33 GTR....
I feel kind of inadequate now, but I'll post pics of my NEW S13 anyway....
1993 240SX SE Coupe (One-Via)
2.4L 16V DOHC (KA24DE) SR20DET swap is in the future
I can provide proof if it is needed, but I think it's pretty realistic that I own a '93 240SX...lol....
Badass yo. Sick car.

Your friends coupe is just like mine, except for the JDM Silvia nose of course... He even has the factory alloys just like mine...
How much did you guys get your front clips for?.. If you don't mind me asking?..

Haha, I recognize that red sil-eighty! My friend bought his stock body panels, we just replaced his screwed up ones with them! I LMAOed when I saw the "S-Family" on his new hood!
In other news, my engine and tranny keep getting worse. Looks like the SR is going to have to come sooner than I'd hoped...
