this is how it looked in the AD on car sales... only to find that nither the wheels or bonnet came with it....

After some deliberation with one of my close friend with more knowlege then myself on imports, I decided to take it for a drive... surprised with the power etc i said, yep here's a deposit ill see you next week.

When i picked it up, the guy said he had no idea what was needed for the roadworthy, so removed virtually every aftermarket part and bodykit... and said, here you go man... put it back together...

he handed me a handful of intake piping, intercooler, FMIC, BOV, pod and virtually every piece of aftermarket bodyparts...

I finally got it home, not knowing the car, at night from melbourne to "out the sticks" (4 hour drive) and had a short night sleep...

that weekend i started to temporarily repair the front bar... literally falling to bits in my hands.

So, for the minute, (untill I had a good few hours to glass repair it) I stitched the front bar, cos it was falling apart after trying to navigate my driveway entrance...

http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/pp21/jedijason961/05052011002.jpg

replaced the mis-matched stock rear bar with the one I picked up off the guy in doncaster..

Ready for the new intake pipe to be fabbed at my local exhaust centre, the dose pipe was dodgy as...

http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/pp21/jedijason961/06052011002.jpg

And finally (with then bonnet popped for the guy) The first niceer shot of my new 180 ;-)

http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/pp21/jedijason961/06052011.jpg

got the "bitZa" intake pipe (between the MAF and the turbo) welded up, as it was poorly made and kept bursting at the silicon hose joiners on friday, ready for the local cruise..

last night I spent 4 hours putting on the Greddy intercooler that came separet with my car... the guy had left out a few important fittings.. so I tried to make do with what I had... anyone tried to stretch a black bit of vulcanised rubber pipe joiner from 2 inch to 2.5 inch...? it can be done... about an hour of elbow grease... i was still sore days after.

finally got it all on, but for some reason the boost isn't breaking past 5psi (with a 16psi boost tee)??? vacuum and boost leaks will be the problem...

Chewies Philosophy: (There was a heap more before this tho)

I put the carbon wing back on to see different styles the car could sway towards.

with the GReddy intercooler fitted...

Rolled my rear guards ... surprised the previous owner hadn't especially with the crazy amount of tyre that was outside the guard. was gonna pump them about 10-15mm but decided otherwise...

http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/pp21/jedijason961/24052011.jpg

Started having troubles with it breaking down under load, thinkiing it was coil packs... realised it was a slight exhaust leak getting sucked into the MAF and totalling the Z32

Sorry for the photo sizes... Really clunky to upload with iPhone via photo bucket
The steering wheel is a deep dish grant classic. Had it for ages.

http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/pp21/jedijason961/photo-5.jpg

Had the old one out and the grant classic in, in 10 mins! ;-)

http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/pp21/jedijason961/photo-6.jpg

[-eunos-]

mock up... The center hole in the steering wheel won't fit the horn button. It's the only way that button assembly will fit, I painted the metal surround to match the wheel.

I looked at the state of my tyres and realized that I needed new ones ASAP, so went on the hunt for new wheels...
This was a messy time, cos different people had different idea's, (and they would say that i didnt wanna listen) looked into some Panasports, but the sale fell through. finally it was getting too dangerous driving on the non existant rubber on my stock GTST wheels... so went for a set of Black Drifteks, they look ok, in my opinion, they may be "soooooo 2006", but it was a good starting point.

after wanting to go the whole m ile without doing enough research... bought an itake plenum that was "supposed' to fit my redtop with a 90mm throttle body... found out later it was an S15 one, even tho the guy selling it saID it'd fit.

waste of money, mind you got most of it back on-selling it.

http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/pp21/jedijason961/photo-21.jpg

Cos i didn't listen to you guys, I bought weak offset wheels, and tried to make do...
But this happened when i lowered it...

Just a teaser of what's to come:

http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/pp21/jedijason961/photo-22.jpg

[-eunos-]

There is still about 80 pics to come so hang ten...

So, after alot of thought... instead of colour matching the pearl white that nissan painted from factory for $500 for 2 litres, i decided to paint the whole car with an easily matched colour.

so heres the start of repairing and aligning the front guard.

http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/pp21/jedijason961/IMG_0375.jpg

starting with the smaller of parts, I wanted to see if the colour was what i wanted, and how it responded to differences in lighting conditions.
So we painted the skirts first.

http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/pp21/jedijason961/IMG_0376.jpg

http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/pp21/jedijason961/IMG_0377.jpg

You cant really tell in the pic, but there is a huge difference in how the new white reflects light

http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/pp21/jedijason961/IMG_0378.jpg

Whilst waiting for the paint on the skirts to dry, i asked my mate how hard it'd be to paint the roof black... he grinned and threw me a roll of masking tape...

http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/pp21/jedijason961/IMG_0379.jpg

Some owner before me must have polished the car with armorall or a silicone based wax/polish... so it orange peeled... virtually straight away... :-/

http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/pp21/jedijason961/IMG_0379.jpg

http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/pp21/jedijason961/IMG_0381.jpg

We ended up in the end running more paint, then blocked it back... was a bit of a dam pner on my day...

Now this was my donor car i purchased months ago ta take out the gearbox. was gonna make it into a track project, but just didnt have the time.
i chucked on the other bodykit I bought my white 180 with and a set of wide guards I had lying around.

So after finding someone to take it on, and worked out a fair trade...
http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/pp21/jedijason961/IMG_1246.jpg

and scored a sil80 conversion out of it.

now, obviously its a pity that the kit was black and my car is freshly sprayed white... so soon enough I will prep and spray the front... TBA

and I have a choice of 3 grilles, GTR style, clear silvia, and a modded S2 skyline grille. i just chucked on the clear one for the min...

its all still an ongoing project... I have a lip coming in the next few weeks, and my twin Bride stadia's should be on the boat as we speak...


now I'm in desperate need of the two front uprights that the headlights attach to on the s13's!!! can anyone help!!!!?

[-eunos-]

I splurged on some JdM goodies... ;-)

2x Bride Stradia Low Maxx Carbons.
1 x extra seat padding
front s13 add-on lip
rollcage cross bars
harness bar
side intrusion bars
new grille... (not sure what type, help me out)
s13 radiator/headlight supports
bride matching interior cloth and headrests.

I cant actually drive anywhere with it on, so instead I’ll have it put aside for shows etc... cant tell me its not low enough now..

A while back I bought a helmet off a mate to do track days with... i didn’t like it plain black, so i did up some possible designs.
http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/pp21/jedijason961/IMG_1145.jpg
and came up with my final design...
http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/pp21/jedijason961/IMG_1156.jpg
so began a project neither my GF’s bro (apprentice spraypainter) or myself had done before....

I decided on a colour loosly based on mazda velocity red.. with an addition of bronze pearl.... i wanted it to really pop in the light.
http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/pp21/jedijason961/IMG_1278.jpg
http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/pp21/jedijason961/IMG_1279.jpg

So then came to masking... looking back now I’d do the process very differently...

http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/pp21/jedijason961/IMG_1318.jpg
I wish that I had spent more time aligning the masking decals... was a prick of a job and just got fed up... after all its all a massive learning curve.

http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/pp21/jedijason961/IMG_1329.jpg

and also did some other things too...

http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/pp21/jedijason961/IMG_1337.jpg
dont mind the mess...
http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/pp21/jedijason961/IMG_1334.jpg

shift boot is not quite finished... but have matched the stitching of the seats red thread to the shift boot too...

The vents turned up from Canada, so just gotta make shit work with the vent gauge cluster....

http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/pp21/jedijason961/IMG_1386.jpg
http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/pp21/jedijason961/IMG_1384.jpg

the gauge hoods will probably be coming off now cos it wont match... unless i get real cluey and have the center hood still there... over the vent 0.o


might start that tonight...

now... QUIZ time guys, what are those vents out of..? ;-)

[dreamin240sx]

so you took out the koukis tails for tinted ugly ones ? ahh rest of car is looking good though

[-eunos-]

reason I did that was I'm putting aside all my type x stuff, so i can make it a stock looking type x down the track. all my kouki stuff is wrapped in bubble wrap in storage atm for the right day for it to become once again a type-x.

[dreamin240sx]

Interesting...? I would have thought being one of the largest S-chassis forums people woould have more to say about my 180sx.?

Nice car, agree that Type-X tails would better but thats cool.
Not feeling the mesh in the S13 bumper instead of the grills tho, looks wiggidywack.

Looks like it's come a long way too!

the bumper came with those mesh inserts.. were the first thing that got replaced with oem grilles.

[-eunos-]

Alot has happened in the last few months...

finally got my Z32 gearbox conversion, (took 7 weeks after paymet to arrive)
scored a bootlip ducktail spoiler.
was given a bride lowmax drivers side rail
tucked my look inside my guard
bought a set of BC BR coilovers (for MOAR LOW)
and matched my steering wheel and sunroof sun-shade all "bride"

just need to wait for the warm weather to his then its full steam ahead

bought a mig, so when the new box is in then I can tuck my exhaust up cos I've already worn through my brand new GKtech flex pipe.

then fix all my guard gaps, then respray of front end conversion!

decided i wanted to paint them a crazy colour for skiddies, but before I did that undercoated them with white

Now before everyone starts banging nails and abusing me cos the car isn't 100% complete, its ongoing... I need to get a week of warm weather to finish painting it.

Job done... took 15+ hours to get it to properly fit, cos even though the business I bought it off said it was an "easy" swap over, we still had to modify.!
last time I deal with those guys.

So tuesday night, someone totalled my boot. threw a massive rock (the size of your head) at the back window of my 180sx from a moving car at about 3am.
rock drpped too quickly and muched the boot instead, it hit soo hard that the rock bounced about 20 meters away.

I'm still stunned why someone would do that...? I don't have any enemies, or anyone ive pissed off recently..???

[S14Serge]

You car is coming along great! But put the kouki tails back on!!! Lol

[first_choice]

lets see a picture of that rock and damage

maybe... i just want to repair it asap.
