New Member, New Car...Here it goes!

[Gunma_Dori]

Whats up guys/gals. I had originally joined the NicoClub forums but I had numerous friends tell me that Zilvia.net is alot better as far as knowledge goes so I figured I would move my build thread here.


I just picked up this 1992 180sx with the factory redtop and thought I would keep a log of my build.

When I bought the car it already had the following installed:

Non-Adjustable TEIN coilovers
HKS super suction kit
Downpipe...not sure of brand.
Full exhaust...again, no clue what brand, but it doesn't fit right.
A set of cheesy 16x7 wheels
some cheap Project Mu brake pads.
Strut tower and rear cross brace's
And an awesome double stack aluminum wing.

The day after i bought it, the wing had to go. I also had to give the previous owner his cheesy "drifting" steering wheel back so I went and picked up a cheap D1 Spec suede wheel at UpGarage. Turns out I really like it. I also took some time to take a few good pictures of the car before I did any more mods.

Needs adjustable coils. Stance GR+'s are in work.

This is what happens when your exhaust is made for an HCR32 and you rig it to work on a RPS13 :-)

The rear...I hate the tails. Working on locating a set of affordable Kouki tails but even in Japan, its not easy.

The D1Spec suede wheel. Also the OG HUGE Blitz boost gauge.

Well, I did a few things today before work. I installed my 80mm straight through cat-back exhaust. Installed a Kouki spoiler (which still needs to be sprayed black). Slapped on F-20mm and R-25mm spacers. And lowered the ride height just a tad. Now I need a fender roller :chuckle:

The spacers set my effective offset to 16x7+10 in the front and 16x7+5 in the rear for any of you that are curious of the sizes/offsets. And yea...i know they're weak, but it looks better than it did before. I'm currently hunting for wheels, so that's whats next after I get a new set of coilovers.

Really need to paint the spoiler...

I like the new stance a little better. But I would like to be another -10mm offset all around,and about an inch lower. But my TEIN coilovers are bottomed out as far as adjustability goes.

Stay tuned: GT-1 Adj. RUCA's and rear adjustable toe links are next!

Looks like a nice start for you! I would love to see the wing and front lip ditched though. At very least until you get side skirts and valences.

And Welcome to Zilvia! :wavey:

Nice car. However, things work a little differently here at Zilvia. There is a thread for introductions as well as a thread to post all the pictures of your car that your heart desires.
