There are a few mechanical mods done to the car with more on the way, they are as follows:
- HKS Hipermax Pro Coilovers all round, these are lightweight HKS Coilovers with pillow ball upper mounts (top of the range as indicated by the Gold top mount) which are height, damper and camber(at the front) adjustable. The ride height is currently at 4" front & 5" at the rear.
- HKS Mushroom filter which is being directly fed cold air by the Trial front bumper
- Apexi "SR" branded Cat back exhaust system 4.5"
- Apexi radiator & Blitz Spark Performer
- Lightweight Bronze Nismo LMGT4 alloys. 17" lightweight Monoblck forged alloys Manufactered by Rays Engineering for Nismo
- Whiteline Adjustable Anti Roll Bar (rear)
- Nismo suspension link bushes
- Unknown Rear Toe Adjuster Rods
- Unknown Rear Camber Adjuster Upper Arms
- Unknown caster adjustable front tension rod
- Hankook Ventus Evo tires all round. 215/45r17 V12's in the front and 235/45r17 S1's at the rear
- Custom painted rocker cover & an Adjustable RSR Front Strut brace
- Big brake upgrade; APP Stainless Steel brake lines, OEM Nissan calipers which I got painted. EBC Ultimax discs and Yellowstuff pads all round
I had given the engine bay a quick once over at that stage but I went back again and gave the rocker cover some real attention!!!
But then I bought a new strut brace and custom painted rocker cover!
Here are some pics of the Coilovers, they are HKS Hipermax Pro's;
Front....
Rear....
And some underbody shots...
The alloys are 17" Bronze Nismo Gt4's. They're a lightweight (690kg) set of alloys manufactured by Rays Engineering on behalf of Nismo.
.
My tires are Hankook Ventus Evos, 215mm V12 at the front & 235mm S1's at the rear
V12 on left S1 on right:
. 
The wheel nuts & locking nut are lightweight and the other is a random pic of the back end up on stands (thought it looked so weird with no wheels so I figured I'd share!!):
And my new brakes, lines and ARB!!
Look at that for chasis rigidity!!!! Who said you need to jack the front of the car up to change a wheel on the front :)
My future plans really depend on money & timing;
- My friend (who also has a Spec S S15) is going for an engine transplant from Z fever - direct swap for a SR20DET Tuned to approx 400bhp - it's very expensive but this option would be ideal. Realisticly I'm going to have to go another route though :(
- Otherwise; SR20VE Head with High lift cams, port & polish, 4-2-1 exhaust manifold & a high flow cat. Then upgrade the ECU, get it chipped and remapped.
Although an RB conversion with a bloody huge turbo is tempting too!!
