Squeaky Clean: Nava's Nissan Silvia Spec R S15

What's up guys,  recently I had a chance to fully appreciate one of my friend's sweet ride. It all started out when a couple of our buddies was chilling at Canai Cafe in SS15 Subang. It was a Monday night, a very unlikely time to be hanging out, but it gave everyone a good mood. Knowing that everyone had to go back home early for work, me and a couple of buddies of mine Nava, Laknas, Izwaan and Jason decided to to shoot.
 We headed out to a parking lot next to the Grand Dorsett to check the place out. After nice-talking with the security, he let us in. From the looks of this S15, you'd be fooled if Nava told you it was stock. Yet it's not. Silvia's are a usual option for anyone who's wanting a FR Turbo and S15s are no exception. The first Silvias were first made in the 1960s with the CSP311. It first held the S-chassis code with the 1975 Datsun 180SX S10. Then it led to later models like the S13, S14 and finally the S15. The S-Chassis has been sold around the world but the S15 is only available in the Asian and Australian market.
This variant, the Spec-R is a bit different then other Silvia models. It boasts extensive chassis  and suspension strengthening and a 6-speed manual gearbox. Despite the fact, this S15 is just for daily use only.
