Around the World: One Stanced S15 to be Jealous Of
Photography by Tung Le / Words by Josh Wilson for Canibeat.com
Here is a car that will leave you full of envy. Not because it’s a S15, RHD, or even that it’s boosted (even though those are damn good reasons). And why should you be jealous? Well this is a S15 that has seen more of the globe then most of us will ever see. It all started in Japan and was imported to Florida by Chris Oliva. Here it went over a major make-over but not to the exterior.
After loads of work this S15 was featuring a stout 731hp RB30. And with all of the other work that has been done to this mean S15, it leaves a Nissan that is definitely something to be envious of. The journey doesn’t end there though. After finishing up this project Chris decided it was time for something new. That meant that it was time for the S15 to find a new home. That home is now in Europe which means that it’s a long ways from its birthplace, and has traveled quite a distance around the globe. So if you are lucky enough to see this car cruising the streets of Europe try to remember not to drool too much.
Chris would like to thank:
“My family and friends for their support and contributions, special thanks to Debbie Rivera, Manuel Oliva, Jr., Rachel Marie Oliva, Raquel Oliva, Manuel Oliva Romero, RO Towing and Carisma LLC.”
