[Craig Jr]

I bought this car as a long term project with no actual finish date. Its come a pretty long way from when I got it already and I intend to have a complete 180sx replica built after all this with about 375whp. Im thinking about doing an E85 tune as well.

sweet dash

[Craig Jr]

Thanks! I have a guy that did it for me he's reasonable and does great work! I have no wrinkles at all! Its also the auto suede so it doesn't fade like upholstery suede. This dash was messed up with weird wrinkled dents because they stack the jdm front clips on top of each other. But he made it all work.

[slomar91]

Looks good! Thanks for not doing a silvia front end conversion.

[Edwin562]

wow, really nice work bro.. keep it up

[Craig Jr]

Looks good! Thanks for not doing a silvia front end conversion.

hahahaha im not a silvia fan personally but to each there own!

[gzer750]

did u use the radiator that came with the swap?

[Nick_04K]

I love seeing people wrap their dashes.
Everything looks great. Any idea what color you'll spray the rest of the car?

[iHateMySilvia]

the rhd conversion came out fresh, more pictures more pictures!

[S-Nation S13]

i love your dash, whats the price on that, im willing to drive dashless if the price is right, pm me please...

[jdm2191]

Nice! Looks like you know what your doing!

[Irresistible]

Those first few pics really hurt my neck from having to turn my head sideways.

Other than that, looks nice.

[TurboStrong]

fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[Pure_JDM]

Nice quality build so far man... and like the others, I LIKE your dash.

[Craig Jr]

Ya thanks for all the love!! I can get quotes for anyone who wants to get there dash done also!!

[Imarvin240]

SWEEEEETTTTT! looking good man...love the dash

[lightsource]

great work, looking forward to what you're gonna do w the body!

[Craig Jr]

did u use the radiator that came with the swap?

Yes I did!

[Craig Jr]

I love seeing people wrap their dashes.
Everything looks great. Any idea what color you'll spray the rest of the car?

Im pretty sure im painting it Balloon white. Its a Lamborghini Pearl white. If I dont go that route then 40th Quartz. 370z 40th anniversary grey.

[killer240]

whats up with the defroster vents? do they not fit right? too tight?

[stone184]

Dash and bay color look awesome! Can't wait to see more.

[Craig Jr]

whats up with the defroster vents? do they not fit right? too tight?

Atcually the front clip was stacked and the firewall got bent. We tried bending it back as best we could but that's it. The vents were snug but went in nicely regardless of the deformed dash/firewall.

[Craig Jr]

New pictures!

[jlmillionaire]

dude that sh=t is dope ass fuck,what color are you going to paint it? how much was parts and labor??

[tricky_ab]

Looking good so far!

[Craig Jr]

dude that sh=t is dope ass fuck,what color are you going to paint it? how much was parts and labor??

Im going to be painting the exterior pearl white(balloon white) to be specific! I bought the front clip for $2300. It was a 1998 type X clip with 27k. Then it was done at wrench pro in santa fe springs for rhd and swap. for another $2300.

[kraven9]

That looks great man. I like the dash and the painted engine bay.

[Craig Jr]

Pictures added!

[lightsource]

Looking good man, how's the engine?

[FaLKoN240]

Looks like some great work already and you're only a few posts in.

Nice to see a build by someone that isn't broke or a retard.

[ixfxi]

interesting build, you plan on delivering mail or what?

i mean, was there a point to the useless RHD conversion?


alcantara dash looks nice, show more pics.

[Craig Jr]

Looking good man, how's the engine?

The engine is great! Idles smoothly, everything seems to be perfect! Still needs a full exhaust, front mount and a boost controller to get it running a little stronger. Then ill be working on the suspension a bit.

[Craig Jr]

interesting build, you plan on delivering mail or what?

i mean, was there a point to the useless RHD conversion?

alcantara dash looks nice, show more pics.

The point of a rhd conversion is to separate my car from most others! Its a unique modification and i get lots of people who think its sick.

[Craig Jr]

[mrflip69]

[SoCalDrifter]

no point to RHD but its fun i love driving my rhd coupe and its different, also makes going threw drivethrews very interesting love to see the look on peoples faces

[4DOOR_LIFE]

Nice work so far man. Definitely going in the right direction.

I wouldn't mind doing a RHD conversion if i had money to spare.

great... so what you pussies are telling me is:
- you like to get out of your car when going through a drive-THROUGH
- if you had the money, you'de spend it on useless shit
- you fail to understand thermal management
- you like to do things that most normal human beings do not do for valid reasons. instead, you consider them rare and unique.

next time i talk to my postman, i will ask him how he enjoys his RHD mail truck... and how cool and unique it is.

good to see that folks on zilvia havent lost their retarded edge

[blueshark123]

hey can u pm me a quothe to do a 240z dash in black alcantra

Don't hate because you can't afford shit like this. I'm not saying it's a functional mod but a fun one. I'm not particularly worried about drive thoughs because unlike you I'll have a friend in my passenger seat! Why don't you keep your negative thoughts to yourself because it's clear no one here wants to hear them! Why don't you get out of my thread!

[Craig Jr]

hey can u pm me a quothe to do a 240z dash in black alcantra

could you send me a picture of the dash??

[Craig Jr]

more dash pictures coming today!

[HWYKING]

looking good Jimbo!

[dt-p88]

Looks good man.!

[Big_E-Dog]

looking great,

but gotta quick question, when you cut the firewall out did the car bow due to the lack of support or did you brace the body before you cut it??

thinking about doing something along the same lines but wana be prepaered.


thanks

[Stiky]

Cool shit bro... Way to be unique. As for the whole RHD thing, you get used to it after a while. Personally I feel a shit tonne safer in my R32 than I did in the three of my S13s. People at drive thrus generally have interac terminals on extended cords, and only real problem is left turns/bank drive thrus.

On another note, can't wait to see this thing done!

[Craig Jr]

When we cut the firewall the car kept the same structure. It didn't bow at all! It was on a lift though don't know if that would make a difference. What are you thinking of doing??

I'm already use to it by now. Its a cool feature. agreed with the left hand turns though! Lol this isn't my daily anyways so I I need fast food I'm not worried lol!

I don't exactly see the point do doing a rhd conversion either. I mean there is no real added benefit. However. The OP did say that He wanted to do a Replica 180sx. Right hand drive comes with that commitment useful or not.

Nice work so far JR.


As an aside: I'm looking at all these posts "going through a drive through will suck" "It's stupid cause I cant reach my french fries."
GET OFF THE RAG. pack a lunch. better yet, I hear so many people on here say laziness isn't a good quality. search more...ect ect
Get out of the fucking car walk 5 feet and get your damn burrito, cash your damn check, and stop bitching. It's like waiting in line for 45 seconds to get food is so damn impeding on your important lives.

once again OP keep being awesome doing what your doing.

This man is amazing and brings up a few points I didn't touch on. Also for all the people worried about my cars drive through abilities, don't I have a daily that I can use for that!

[Craig Jr]

Or I could reverse through!!

[S-Nation S13]

to the op your shits boss, haters gonna hate, because what they cant have they'll hate...

[Craig Jr]

Thanks again guys!

[xfallen1x]

Looking good J. Keep with it and never mind the haters.

[roninwon]

ive done mcdonalds in reverse. its kinda fun

[s13dan]

I'm in aw at the fact you replaced the entire firewall. NICE.
Keep it up looks pretty cool so far.

[180wanabe1]

My buddy went thourgh a drive thru backwards at a taco bell and the first time they told him they wouldn't give him his food if he did it again so he went back the next night to prove that they wouldn't just throw the food out, and they told him they were gonna call the cops if he did it again, no idea what they could do about it but he decided it wasn't worth the hasle to ever go back there again.

[Craig Jr]

Hahahaha what do they care??

[HWYKING]

whats riches name on zilvia??

he just posted a few posts up lol SHAKE N BAKE!

no i meant, what wheels are you going to put on your car.....

and why havent you painted the rest of your bucket. engine was painted but the body isnt.

hey, wheres your hood

[Craig Jr]

Had to get it Rolling before I worried about paint and body! I wanted the engine bay clean so i had to paint that before the swap now I'm Going to focus on power and suspension then paint and body.

[Craig Jr]

who makes a reasonably priced front mount intercooler thats good quality???

[MavericStephenc]

greddy has a good entry level IC. look it up on 240sxmotoring

[C-unit]

Greddy makes the cheapest name brand kit. Spec LS.


I gotta say rhd is a plus. It's a lot easier to get out when you park on the side of the road.
and you can actually reach over when you go to drive through.

[Craig Jr]

I'm not looking for the cheapest kit just the best bang for the buck!

[C-unit]

cheapest with brand name = bang for the buck imo.

[Craig Jr]

Ya I'm definitely going with something name brand!

[xfallen1x]

If you wanna go GReddy CJ let us know... we'll crunch #'s for you son. :snoop:

[Craig Jr]

for sure!!!

[Craig Jr]
