****Japanese IMPORT 180SX Build****

Right well iv been on the hunt for a Nissan SR20DET for a while now as some know and i went through all the phases - s14, 14a, 180sx, s15 back to a 14 and ended up with a 180 lol

I bought this off Steveone a few weeks back with brand new fresh NCT and i got it at a very very good price ;) . I rathered the idea of buying a nice clean 180 and havin plenty of money to spend on it instead of buying a s15 and havin no money to spend on it. What really sold me about this car is it has genuine milage, proof it was well taken care of in Japan and a rediculously clean shell. It has 165 000kms which are definately genuine and there is no patches of rust anywhere on it. I will have this back up on a lift to take underbody and arch shots to show how stupidly clean this thing is

It started off by layin out side my girlfriend (JDeeM's) house as i had to wait for insurance to come through, i got fed up of it sittin there so it then went out to Dori-Rorys house where it sat for another week but finally today, THE INSURANCE CAME THROUGH so i drove it home

So thats the car as it sits outside my back door.

The first thing i did when i got it was throw on the uras front bumper, i know it is well battered but the car came with the standard front bumper and it was fuckin aweful looking. Next was to rip out the UNBELIEVEABLY SHIT HKS dumpvalve and put back in the standard intercooler pipe. The car runs 210% better without the dumpvalve. There is a lot more power and its very steady going up through the revs where with the dumpvalve the power was all over the place

So anyway, tonight when i came home, i landed home to a bit of a treat.

The first few wee bits and pieces i bought

Well 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/u...n/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/u...r/DSCF0230.jpg

At this point i let Marty do his magic

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...r/DSCF0232.jpg

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...r/DSCF0238.jpg

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...r/DSCF0237.jpg

I sat back with a cigarette and bottle of boost and took in the scenery :D

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...r/DSCF0236.jpg

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...r/DSCF0235.jpg

So after many many hours this is how the dishes ended up

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...r/DSCF0234.jpg

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...r/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 thats pretty much it up to date as of today 07-31-2012

The car is going into the garage on sunday morning. il be completely strippin it again and when its in millions of pieces il decide weather to paint the car and rebuild it or reshell it onto a PS13 (ONEVIA)

The shell is mad clean with zero rust but iv always wanted a onevia so i wanna have some time now to think about it

He means your rear fenders, and he's right, they don't look very good.
Good choice on staying with the stock tail lights aswell.
Nice car otherwise, wheels came out nice.
