Sleep. An essential portion of our everyday routine that is needed for our heads and bodies to operate correctly. Without it, we as individuals start to lapse of memory, experience mood swings and, necessarily, organ failure. Case in point, in August of 2005, a 28year-old guy from Korea ended playing 50 straight hours of conflict simulation games online, then he unexpectedly died of heart failure, which was brought on by fatigue and too little sleep.

If rest is called the requirement of life, two guys, from the names of Nakai and Sugano entirely disregarded it; both are workers of TEIN USA found in Downey, Calif. Their aim was supposed to produce the largest job that TEIN has ever undergone in its 25-year historyLooking to build upon an automobile chassis that represented the echelon of the import life-style, it was certainly no surprise the Silvia S15 was chosen as the weapon of choice for TEIN.

With auto at hand, the two TEIN engineers equipped themselves with screwdrivers and ratchets, immediately stripping the heart of the S15 for the bare shell in a week's time. With valuable time-wasting away, the skeletal frame of what resembled an automobile was hoisted upon a trailer and carted off to a store in Anaheim where it obtained an entire acid dip to eliminate paint and unnecessary stuff. Reduced to naked skin steel, the car was loaded back in the trailer and sent to an undisclosed chassis fabrication shop where in fact the whole make-over started for the following.

Keeping the factory SR20DET engine may appear like the rational remedy for the normal accumulation, but also for the Kamikaze boys of TEIN U.S.A., an ideal power-plant was a RB26DETT plucked from a BNR32 Skyline. Bought from G-Speed of Gardena, California, the extended block was utilized for the following 8 weeks to fabricate the custom engine mounts and front sub frame which pulled the engine 275mm, or 11-inches, back to the firewall. "We chose to go the motor back for improved weight distribution. The S15 with its SR20 motor set up along with a complete tank of fuel registered a weight balance of 58.5 front and 41.5 in the back. After complete changes and the RB26 set up, the scales study 53/47," said Sugano.
