Howdy
This is the life and times of my 180sx - hope you like
I always wanted a 180sx - think i seen a pic of one drifting about 10 years ago when i was in my teens and that was it, popup lights and sideways turbo action was enough to have me hooked for life
I spent an INSANE amount of time trying to find a good clean standard example - ended up finding this one back in the Spring of 2010 - was imported in 08 and was put straight into a garage and covered up
Started out a basic bog standard zenki 94 reg 180sx - SR20DET - was clean as hell, straight and had zero rust. was everything i wanted. never had an accident or painted - just as is from the factory
This is it when i went and bought it

I didnt really know in my head where I wanted to go with it but it wasnt long until it was in castlefinn and Eglington getting some side ways action
First two things i bought as soon as i got it
Cusco 2way diff

Cusco dash dodger bolt in cage

After a few drift Days the old Bride was fucked - was an old ass uncomfortable seat anyway
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu58/matocastor/S7002095.jpg
So i splashed out and got this
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu58/matocastor/S7002094.jpg
The car was class and i loved the standard look……..
……….But i loved the ignorant in your face look a wee bit more :D
Went and bought these
SSR PROFESSOR SP1's
Fronts are 17 x 9jj +11
Rears are 18 x 10jj +11
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u230/PeterTistaken/my%20cefiro/SP_A0399.jpg
They didnt fit at first but with a "awh theyll fit" attitude i rolled the arches out a rediculous amount and got them wedged in

Car was getting some battle scars with a few of the drift days but the amount of fun i had in it it was completely worth it
Back then it was just a car for drifting - it took everything i threw at it - i cant describe how much of a smile it put on my face and it never really gave any bother - keep servicing it and it was good to go - drive down to Eglington - drift all day - drive it home (sometimes on bald tires :D )

I bought the SSR's in January and in fairness they needed a hell of a refurb, the dishes were very very dead and the paint was falling off everywhere
So this is what they looked like before hand when i got them
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u230/PeterTistaken/060c5d63.jpg
I got them off the car and left them up to Marty Coyle (martycturbo) to refurb.
I took as much time off work as i can to go up and lend a hand
Marty got them split and sent the centres away to be sandblasted
I went at the dishes with scotch bright and ended up taking a lot of the ground in dirt off them
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu58/matocastor/DSCF0230.jpg
At this point i let Marty do his magic

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu58/matocastor/DSCF0238.jpg
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu58/matocastor/DSCF0237.jpg
I sat back with a cigarette and bottle of boost and took in the scenery :D
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu58/matocastor/DSCF0236.jpg
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu58/matocastor/DSCF0235.jpg
So after many many hours this is how the dishes ended up
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu58/matocastor/DSCF0234.jpg
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu58/matocastor/DSCF0240.jpg
I was unreal happy with the dishes but i couldnt believe my eyes when he got them painted, the colour was perfect and was exactly what i was after. These are the finished article with the studs all shined up and the wheels screwed back together :D

SO
This must be the start of 2013 id say
It was about this time that i had my fun in it - i was looking online to find another clean one for the road but the prices got rediculous
I spent a wee while deciding do i keep this one as a drift car or do i build it back up for the road
From here on youll see which road i went with it
Got myself a garage organised at my grans gaff and i went to town stripping her down

By no means am i a mechanic but i just wanted to do as much as i could as i couldnt let another man do it for me - I wanted this to be something that i did myself so i knew every nut and bolt on it

Fitted the adjustable actuator and the blitz SBC and have the car runnin in around a bar boost and its pullin like a train - big difference to standard .5 bar with a wanked actuator - a good service and change of filters helped a lot also

This is before it was fitted, she was a bit gutless in fairness but a lot better now - second gear drifting on the dry with the big 18x9.5s on the back is no bother

I also managed to find a full boot interior - wanted one as the overall goal is to have an old 94 road car with as many comforts as modern cars
A lot of work cleaning it up and fitting it all properly but boom its all in :)
iv seen very few 180s that still had the full boot interiors

So yeah thats it in and bolted down tight and everything working as it should, it was an absolute cunt of a job in all fairness, there is no real way of mapping it out, i practiced on an old fucked dash i had layin about but still, theres no real proper template you can make, pretty much start in the middle and work your way out - but yeah it works wooop wooop

Also put in a set of NGK 7s and they are soooo class as i was suffering some boost cut with the boost up at a bar

Thought id throw up some pics of the stuff we have at the minute. We called ourselves Team Zero7Four- its the code for the area we live in. i know thats a bit "NWA" but hey, we were drunk when we decided it and when we sobered up we were too lazy to think of a new name so it stuck.
Heres some of the cars - Hope you like :)

New Diffuser arrived - having Paul at Pro-Fit Kits now fully rework the diffuser to make it look as close to an OE piece as possible - will cut a part of the rear bumper so it sits in further under the car, diffuser will be fully cut apart also and made smaller so it doesnt sit as low. going to have a few canards moulded also to sit at either end. Paul is also making up side steps that will attach in under the side skirts, he is also making me up a front undertry that will sit out from the front splitter with origin canards at either side.
few pics of the rear diffuser just sitting up against the car to show a rough idea what it will be like

Once Paul has got through with all his work the car will be going in for another full paint job to freshen her up, going the same colour again - fibreglass panels moved about a bit over the course of the year so theres a few spiderswebs here and there that need sorting out
wheels will be going Volk Bronze so i bought new genuine Rays Volk stickers for them

Been aaages since I was on this but now we're coming back into the summer it was time to do a bit of work on the car again
Left it up to Paul at ProFit kits to make custom canards and splitters for the front and sides to tie in with the diffuser on the rear, needless to say his work is second to none
Teaser pic to show what we're doing

So just getting things finished up down at Pro-Fit kits
As ever Paul took what was in my head and just made it 10 times better
i had a few ideas that i brought to him and we talked through how to do a few things
firstly was obviously the front splitter that would bolt on under the standard kouki splitter - he made this all as one piece and it works lovely with the bumper and splitter
https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xtp1/v/t1.0-9/11062016_10152674341091415_9110698742031922408_n.j pg?oh=8dc18328b7cdd1f300f6e8e530da0c18&oe=55DBA62C&__gda__=1437679593_61a483df3782b184c13e9b73ac6c183 c
https://scontent-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtf1/v/t1.0-9/10944818_10152674340861415_1190841011654452112_n.j pg?oh=5e152efd2371a8e630d561ec148c4a09&oe=55A4CC3E
https://scontent-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/10479172_10152674340016415_2760882612982397174_n.j pg?oh=7a7458acb96802e579143fc3c9d21cac&oe=55E2536A
To follow on from this i also wanted to have sideskirt extensions made up to sit under the chuki sideskirts that would run on from the front splitter
https://scontent-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xap1/v/t1.0-9/11102611_10152674340521415_3775300726385748551_n.j pg?oh=04b8417528ec890077019a772feaf100&oe=55A5AC7D
https://scontent-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtp1/v/t1.0-9/11127497_10152674340396415_51381182405508061_n.jpg ?oh=9a7eeec90c0b4e9430cc0d25cdff9839&oe=55E555D5
Another idea i had was to insert a piece in the vented wings that would have a badge counter sunk into them - something to give it a bit of a modern touch - you can see them in the pics above and below is a pic of some genuine NISMO badges set in
https://scontent-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/1962622_10152674340226415_3380513495385274871_n.jp g?oh=b07c63f5e79d576deec009116a47402a&oe=55AFB5CA
For the rear i got rid of the kouki spats and i bought a full 1 piece bumper add-on that will have the diffuser built into it
https://scontent-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtp1/v/t1.0-9/11129757_10152674339866415_5600849729089092472_n.j pg?oh=208641af7c4479de628cf22e7d1345a8&oe=55DBA539
https://scontent-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/10425173_10152674339571415_4923175794711792461_n.j pg?oh=538370a2e5cc9bc45f63f2be93344afd&oe=55B1A3A9
This stuff has just been taken all back off and has been sent to be finished and painted in a textured plastic paint so that it looks as OEM as possible
The rest of the car has been left down to have the body painted Midnight Purple again and the splitter kit will be fitted once its all done :)
All C+C welcome as id like to see what everyone thinks as not many 180s have custom splitters made
