A lot has happened over that 12 year span, but there have been a few significant moments that have led this car to become what it is today. I mounted up a Trust TD06 turbo, made up a new inlet plenum and started taking the car to the track, where my drifting bug started to return. A few years later I began to build my Hilux and basically pulled this car down to a bare shell to use the parts for the Hilux build. Over the three years it took me to build the Hilux, the Silvia sat motionless, but I had some plans for it. Firstly, I had to cut everything out that I had previously modified, and the lessons and skills I learnt in the fabrication process of the Hilux build allowed me to build this car into my dream machine. I cut the entire firewall out, the entire engine bay leaving just the chassis rails, the center floor section and boot floor. Over the next few months I would construct a new engine bay, a firewall that is shifted further rearward, a new trans tunnel, roll cage and flat trunk floor. As the chassis was coming together, I started to focus on the engine setup. I continued the DIY nature of this build into the engine development phase. A friend of mine developed a set of short throttle body adapters with fuel rail provision and set about CNC machining them out of billet alloy.

Most people don't automatically think of drift car when they hear the term Hilux or Ute. Especially not one to this level. Nigel Petrie from Engineered to slide has been changing that assumption with his beautiful and meticulously designed drift hilux. Nigel is no stranger to building amazing cars. He always has stated that he follows his heart and nothing else while building his works of art.
