"I have never seen an S Chassis modified like this, as they're usually drift or stance oriented."
Kirk Schmidt publicly unveiled his custom 1989 Nissan Silvia S13 at Meguiar's MotorEx during Shannons Unveils.
Build & Bodywork
The build took four years. The entire body is steel, hand-shaped using coachworks techniques by Rude Glory. The front track was widened by 75 mm, the rear by 150 mm, and arch heights were raised. A Nismo-style bodykit was fitted, including aluminum sideskirts and a matching front lip.
Performance & Engine
Originally a non-turbo automatic CA18-powered car, the vehicle now features a 2.0-liter SR20DET engine. The engine includes a pair of cams, a G30-725 turbo, Plazmaman plenum, and Haltech ECU. Power output is estimated at 400 hp, capable of 600 hp with higher boost.
Suspension, Wheels & Brakes
The car is equipped with airbag suspension, Panasport G7 wheels (17x9.5 front, 17x11 rear), and GT-R brakes.
Exterior & Interior
- Exterior paint: Land Rover Grasmere Green (top) and Land Rover Corris Grey (bottom).
