-eunos-'s 180sx sr20det (56k WARNING)
So after a long journey to get to this point, (and an even bigger one yet to com)
I have finally put together a build thread with the start (purchase) up to the point it stands at the moment: Cusco Safety 21 roll cage garrett 2871r turbo, braided line stainless extractors (heatshielded) varex adjustable cannon. walbro pump malpassi fuel reg and guage cusco camber tops apexi n1 adjustable suspension front and rear cusco strut braces z32 afm & Nistune remap for 16psi Greddy FMIC. Sard R2D2 BOV Custom Carbon Airbox Vx commodore side indicators Vertex Bodykit stripped rear interior __________________________________________________ ____________________ this is how it looked in the AD on car sales... only to find that nither the wheels or bonnet came with it.... http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/10579866.jpg 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/p...5052011002.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/p...6052011002.jpg And finally (with then bonnet popped for the guy) The first niceer shot of my new 180 ;-) http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/06052011.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) Quote:
I put the carbon wing back on to see different styles the car could sway towards. with the GReddy intercooler fitted... http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/18052011.jpg 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/p...1/24052011.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 http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...n961/photo.jpg http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...61/photo-1.jpg http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...61/photo-2.jpg http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...61/photo-3.jpg http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...61/photo-4.jpg 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/p...61/photo-5.jpg Had the old one out and the grant classic in, in 10 mins! ;-) http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...61/photo-6.jpg |
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/p...1/photo-10.jpg http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/photo-11.jpg http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/photo-12.jpg http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/photo-13.jpg http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/photo-14.jpg Met a guy at a Dead Letter Circus Gig... http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/photo-15.jpg http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/photo-19.jpg My brother thought it'd be funny to stickerbomb my light whilst I was away on the weekend http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...ANCEupload.jpg I know there's massive guard gap, Tba on front coil adjustment http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/photo-23.jpg My mate trialling his new camera... http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/photo-20.jpg http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/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... http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/photo-24.jpg http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/photo-26.jpg Just a teaser of what's to come: http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/photo-22.jpg |

The vents turned up from Canada, so just gotta make shit work with the vent gauge cluster.... http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/IMG_1386.jpg http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/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..? ;-) |
so you took out the koukis tails for tinted ugly ones ? ahh rest of car is looking good though
|
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.
|
ok that sounds better lol
|
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.

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! |
Who has 56k?
|
Well, the wheels i scored needed a fair bit of attention after i stripped the paint off them...
http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/IMG_1404.jpg so sent them to be blasted http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/IMG_1424.jpg decided i wanted to paint them a crazy colour for skiddies, but before I did that undercoated them with white http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/IMG_1426.jpg they are 15's http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/IMG_1429.jpg 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. http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/IMG_1435.jpg http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/IMG_1462.jpg jumped on the fanboi wagon and ditched my manky interior for: http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/IMG_1489.jpg http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/IMG_1490.jpg http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/IMG_1491.jpg bought myself a virtually brand new mig for a steal... now i gotta tuck my exhaust http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/IMG_1504.jpg rubbed through my loom in a spot, so tried tucking it http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/IMG_1507.jpg but its pushing the guard out of alignmennnt... any help would be appreciated (without totally cutting and lengthening the entire loom) http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/IMG_1509.jpg recovered my wheel in a strip of black bridematerial i had spare from offcuts of the door trims http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/IMG_1531.jpg http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/IMG_1532.jpg its cool cos you can still read the lettering http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/IMG_1533.jpg had to take down a set of wheels and a heap of stuff to melb... had no room, so i improvised http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/IMG_1541.jpg this is a pic of when i was still tying them on.... http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/IMG_1542.jpg I had a few more scraps of bride material over.... and so it got me thinking,... http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/IMG_1567.jpg sunroof cover bitches. ;-) http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/IMG_1574.jpg more updates to come... |
http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/IMG_1576.jpg
I had to tuck my brand new GKTech front pipe/flex cos it was grinding on everything. http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/IMG_1581.jpg My New (expensive) toy http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/IMG_1594.jpg old SR box came out easy.

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..??? |
You car is coming along great! But put the kouki tails back on!!! Lol
|
lets see a picture of that rock and damage
|
maybe... i just want to repair it asap.
