1999 Nissan Kazama Silvia s15 spec R  - Erik Shogi 

I always passed by Street Special when I was a little boy and kept thinking 'my dream is to build a car in this garage' and it came true! after a while, I ordered the body kit from Kazama auto and the wheels from Work Wheels and decided to paint the Silvia orange colour but I never liked orange lol.

Hi, my name is Erik, I’m 24 years old and I’m a Brazilian living in Japan. I was born and raised in Japan, and I've always liked cars, and my dream has been to have a Silvia s15 since I was a little boy, but I never imagined that I would realize this dream! I wanted to build my car very different from everyone else, an aggressive style that when you look at the car you already know it is mine.

One day I went to a drift event and saw an s15 and I liked it a lot, and after that day my dream was to have an s15. Then one day I was looking at a used car app and found my Silvia and it was for sale, on the same day I went there to see the car and I decided to buy it.

I got my driver's license and went to the circuit to drift and ended up blowing the engine, I was shocked because it had not been even 1 month since I had bought the car... but I didn't give up and I built an SR22DET at Street Special, a famous garage where they prepare drag and grip cars.

I always passed by Street Special when I was a little boy and kept thinking 'my dream is to build a car in this garage' and it came true! after a while, I ordered the body kit from Kazama auto and the wheels from Work Wheels and decided to paint the Silvia orange colour but I never liked orange lol. I painted it this colour because it is very rare to see an orange Silvia and I ended up liking this colour. I started going to car meetings and made a lot of friends! From then on I decided not to drift anymore and assemble my car just for exposure.

I am proud to have the car of my dreams! When I drive my car I forget all my problems, I am very happy when I stop at any place and someone comes up to me and says 'your car is very nice, 'I have never seen a Silvia so well kept'. I think it makes my car unique, the colour combination with the body kit it made the car very aggressive, and I think it matches a lot!!
