SHORT, BUT SWEET...

Quartz was a new member to the Skewer family, a '99 Nissan Silvia S15 Spec R Aero finished in pearl white, sporting a 250bhp SR20DET VVT engine, 6 speed manual and all important rear wheel drive! There was no intention to go nearly as mad with this as with Rufus, mods being mainly visual, but power to get a look in with a target of around 280bhp readily achievable. Unfortunately I had to let Quartz go after only 10 months of ownership, but in that time it made quite an impression, including pictures in Banzai from Japfest '09.

Quartz was purchased with a number of tasty mods already in place. Those have already been added to, with a full new Skewer livery of course! Check out the spec below
