The car uses mini tubs for additional wheel clearance at angle.

SPL front tension rods make the caster adjustable and get rid of squishy rubber. A Nismo power brace ties the strut rod mounts together for more stiffness.   Energy urethane steering race bushings and an aluminum steering coupler give a much more direct feel to the steering.

In the rear, SPL spherical bearing equipped, adjustable toe links, traction rods and a HICAS eliminator are used along with SPL solid sub frame bushings.  Seeing how they are used by top S chassis drivers like Dai Yoshihara, Matt Powers and Ross Petty, Walker also uses Progress adjustable front and rear anti sway bars with spherical bearing end links to ease tuning at the track.

SPL solid subframe bushings allow some adjustment of anti squat by changing the tilt of the rear subframe.

Wilkerson’s car also looks awesome.  With its shocking lavender Fatlace livery and street style looks the car itself has many fans and is an inspiration for many owners of S13s.  The body rocks BN Sports type 2 front bumper and side skirts with a type 3 rear bumper.  D-Max D1 style front 40mm wide fenders and 50mm rear fenders make room for Falken RT615’s on RAYS Gram Light 57D wheels.  For fitment freaks the tires are 235/40-18 front and 255/40-18 rear.  The Gram Lights are 18×9.5 with a 12mm offset.  A D-Max carbon GT wing with a 326 Power roof wing helps with stability on longer tracks.
