SIDEWAYS SILVIA<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Although the Nissan Silvia is known for its dominating presence in the world of drifting, its rich and varied history spurred the growth of an entire subculture of its own.<\/span><\/p>\n

As is the case with all JDM icons, they are deeply rooted in the pursuit of perfecting the blend between power, affordability, and unfiltered driving pleasure – Nissan\u2019s S platform cars were no different.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Nissan debuted the S line with the S10 in 1975 – designed as an affordable alternative to Nissan\u2019s Z cars, which were becoming increasingly expensive at the time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fast-forward to the late \u201880s, the S13 cemented the S line into automotive history by perfecting the formula – an affordable, RWD sports car powered by the legendary SR20DET engine, an instant hit in the growing sport of drifting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Andy\u2019s S15 builds on the legacy of the Silvia, taking the sublime aesthetics of the S15 to new heights with a series of intricate upgrades resulting in a truly inspired build.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][nectar_cta btn_style=”see-through” heading_tag=”h6″ button_color=”default” link_type=”regular” alignment=”left” display=”block” link_text=”Read More” url=”#ascension”][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”extra-color-3″ animate=”yes” custom_height=”-1″][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” bottom_margin=”-15″ background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”fade-in”][image_with_animation image_url=”25867″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”bottom” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” bottom_padding=”60″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” id=”ascension” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” bottom_margin=”-15″ background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”fade-in” enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in”][image_with_animation image_url=”25863″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text max_width=”550″]\n

FORM AND FUNCTION<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Andy\u2019s love for JDM cars began long before he could even drive. Motivated by classics such as Initial D and hours spent on exploring Japanese drifting events, Andy grew to appreciate Japan\u2019s diverse car culture and identified with the attitude Japanese people had for their cars – following a theme of \u201cform and function\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

With a myriad of JDM classics to choose from, Andy was immediately drawn towards the S15 which had the \u201cideal recipe for fun\u201d, not to mention the massive aftermarket modification and tuning support.<\/span><\/p>\n

In many ways, the Silvia embodies the culture of modifications – sometimes taken to extreme levels. The aforementioned S110 Super Silhouette Racers required some bonkers aero upgrades which sparked the growth of Bosozoku culture, a trend of making \u201cout-of-control\u201d modifications.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike the Bosozoku builds, Andy\u2019s S15 has been fitted with tasteful and intentional upgrades that express his creativity from every angle and guaranteed to inspire enthusiasts to get started on their very own build.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][nectar_cta btn_style=”see-through” heading_tag=”h6″ button_color=”default” link_type=”regular” alignment=”left” display=”block” link_text=”View Gallery” url=”#gallery-1″][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”extra-color-3″ animate=”yes” custom_height=”-1″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”extra-color-3″ animate=”yes” custom_height=”-1″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1603342731368{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-left: -2px !important;}”]\n

SUPPLY AND DEMAND<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

One of the defining features of this S15 is the entirely genuine, Nissan OEM aero body kit which adds a whole lot of character and aggression to this build.<\/span><\/p>\n

As it is, the S15 is worth a lot more than its market value due to a phenomenon known as the \u2018drift tax\u2019 a result of limited supply and tremendous demand for these JDM legends. Andy was very pleased to source the original body kit before the market \u201cwent wild for them\u201d and prices \u201cskyrocketed\u201d. In fact, it is very rare these days to find a genuine OEM aero body kit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another unique aspect of Andy\u2019s build is the set of custom side vortex generators, inspired by the <\/span>Garage Mak S15<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Andy\u2019s S15 sits very, very low to the ground on a set of SSR SP3 wheels supported by HKS Hypermaxx Coilovers, adding a layer of contrast with the chrome against the darker tones of the body.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The S15 is revered for its indisputably attractive exterior, and yet Andy has managed to piece together a car that accentuates the defining features of the S15 in a unique, thorough build.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][nectar_cta btn_style=”see-through” heading_tag=”h6″ button_color=”default” link_type=”regular” alignment=”left” display=”block” link_text=”Watch The Video” url=”#video-motion”][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”extra-color-3″ animate=”yes” custom_height=”-1″][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” bottom_margin=”-15″ background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”fade-in”][image_with_animation image_url=”25903″ animation=”None” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” id=”video-start” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”extra-color-3″ animate=”yes” custom_height=”-1″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1603342347994{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-left: -2px !important;}”]\n

SMOOTH SAILING<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Although Andy was lucky enough to have a relatively smooth build process, there were moments where his S15 gave him reasons to worry. <\/span><\/p>\n

Two weeks before the World Time Attack Challenge Show n Shine, the \u201cSR20 problem struck\u201d, resulting in damaged shims and rocker arms. After a head rebuild, the car was back in shape just a day before the big event.<\/span><\/p>\n

When asked about what he would differently next time, Andy says that although his love for \u201csuper low\u201d cars will never die, he would definitely love to build a high-powered street or drag car.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][nectar_cta btn_style=”see-through” heading_tag=”h6″ button_color=”default” link_type=”regular” alignment=”left” display=”block” link_text=”Read More” url=”#Row-Grille”][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”extra-color-3″ animate=”yes” custom_height=”-1″][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” top_margin=”-30″ background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”fade-in” enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in”][image_with_animation image_url=”25865″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”bottom” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” bottom_padding=”60″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” id=”Row-Grille” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” top_margin=”-30″ background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”fade-in” enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in”][image_with_animation image_url=”25864″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text max_width=”550″]\n

END OF AN ERA<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

This particular Silvia has played a major role in Andy\u2019s life over the past eight years, and even though he absolutely adores his pride and joy, he feels as though it\u2019s now time for someone else to enjoy his creation and is open to offers.<\/span><\/p>\n

An elaborate build such as this one would not have been possible without the help and support of some very important people in Andy\u2019s circle. <\/span><\/p>\n

This magnificent S15 came to be thanks to the continuous support of Andy\u2019s girlfriend, Vivienne, and all the \u201cDivision One boys\u201d.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][nectar_cta btn_style=”see-through” heading_tag=”h6″ button_color=”default” link_type=”regular” alignment=”left” display=”block” link_text=”View Gallery” url=”#gallery-2″][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”extra-color-3″ animate=”yes” custom_height=”-1″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”extra-color-3″ animate=”yes” custom_height=”-1″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1603342221736{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-left: -2px !important;}”]\n

MODIFICATION LIST<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

With the JDM car scene being a huge influence for Andy, he has spent countless hours watching videos and reading articles on Japanese events and culture. All of that has culminated into the S15 build you see before you.<\/p>\n
