My Project SR 56K BEWARE!! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Sileighty_85 · 02-21-2008, 05:45 PM

Well its been done for a while now but I'm bored now so I thought I'd share my build with ya'll for those interseted.

I picked up a real 180SX for 500 bucks when I was living in Japan. Riped the engine and drive train out and shipped it home piece by piece.

So you guys over in Japan it its possible to bring back an SR for less than $600 shipping.

all ya gotta do is break it down into 70 LBS shipments

Sorry most of these pics suck I was using my Camera Phone

So it all started with a dream

4 cans of carb cleaner and 2 hours of using a Dremel

Visualizing the Dream ^_^

Transmission was too heavy to I had to break it down.

Everything Tagged and Bagged

Waiting for Shipment

So my parts made it back safely
and tranny put back together cleaned and painted

Moved into the new aprtment..let the building begin

Picked up an S-14 BB Turbo with Peak Performace mainifold, Dump pipe,HKS Actuator, oil line, Oil return for $350 in Okinawa ^o^b

Also Picked up a Pulsar GTI-R Turbo for free ^_^

The Diff i pulled from my 180SX turned out to be a Nismo 2Way!

Balanced and Polished Crank Shaft, Eagle H Rods, Wiseco Pistons, Tomei and Nismo Bearings, Pulsar GTI-R Main Crank Studs, Power Enterprise 1.5 mil H/G

Installin Crank and Pistons & Rods

Picked up this chassis for $400
but needs alot of work

Rattle Can Job

Picked up My Kouki Tail light set for $100 in Oki

Silvia Front end

New Fiberglass vented hood, 5 lug swap, Z32 front Brakes, and some 350Z Rims lol

Rear fitment

I Love the smell of burnin tires in the morning
they clock our entry speed into the turn at 100MPH

Anyway I hope Ya'll enjoy the pics ^_^
