Car Spotlight>> Simon Michelmore’s S14

Speedhunters reader Luke Terbeeke just sent through some photos he snapped of South Australian Simon Michelmore's S14, which features a neat mash up of Nissan parts.

Simon's Frankenstein Silvia features parts from a 180SX, GT-t and GT-R. It's obvious which donor supplied the new face on his S14.

Australian drifting started in South Australia, and it's still very much in their blood. One of SA's big drifting series' is called G1, and Simon was the 2010 champion.

He's swapped out the S14's SR20 for an RB25 NEO from an R34 GT-t. Along with a GT3076 turbo and a host of other modifications, the Silvia now puts down 496hp at the rear wheels.

In terms of suspension setup, Simon has opted for BC ER coilovers, custom lower control arms with 40mm corrected roll centre, custom knuckles and Cazman arms. The rear diff has been swapped with one from a GT-R with a 4.11 ratio, and a Nismo 2-way has been dropped in.

Thanks for the submission Luke!
