Pasini's 180

[Pasini]

Hey Guys! Have been on here for ages but decided with another rebuild it was about time to share my car with you all! Bare with me as there is going to be alot of pictures! First purchased the car around August 2008. Looked like this when i got her Nismo Skirts, Type X pods. Farly stock with a massive HKS Exhaust, boost controller, all the small things.

After 2 months of ownership the engine was first to go! so took it down to Hyperdrive for a new one, also got the clutch done! knew NOTHING at all about jap cars at this point. During that time I was driving a crappy ford laser and rear ended someone, more money i didn't have. Finally all that was over! Got the Car back then week later turbo gasket went, go that replaced and the next day some kid decided it would be fun to throw a chunk of cement at my windscreen... lucky I found a replacement and got booked in first thing the next day!

Now stepping into 2010 with more plans. The car was ready for another change. I always loved learning to do what i could myself and painting my car and doing any body work i did myself.

After the collie weekender the car sat around collecting dust and the idea of selling it arose, slowly I stripped bits a pieces off and sold them to get some cash flow. At this point in time life was at a rough patch and things where falling apart all over, but with good mates pulled myself up and got back into the car for a September Rebuild! The stock 25g was just not going to cut it anymore after giving me a maximum of 5psi at collie its life was over, was looking at just going to a s15 t28 or similar, so I got myself s 3076 instead. New performance goodies consist of: Nistune ECU Garret 3076 Twin Scroll Custom Steam Pipe Manifold Custom 3" straight exhaust to 3" twin tips. Tial 44mm Wastegate/Screamer 4" Stainless Intake Tomei 740cc Injectors Bosch z32 AFM Bosch 040 Fuel Pump

To keep in tradition I have once again opted to change the front of my car, back to 180 again. was going to stay stock outside with flares but in the end I just couldn't find myself been happy with them! Back to 30mm Overfenders this time.

30mm Rear Over Fenders
DMAX CF Vented Bonnet with pin
Full BN Body Kit
Deleted Body Line Deleted
Rear Wiper & Antenna
Ganador Mirrors Type X Taillight
Respray in Matte White.

Before fitting the rear over fenders, fun was had as Kev took to my car with a grinder to remove some unneeded guard, which i then decided to cut back another 2inchs.

While all this was going on I got myself some SSR Viennas. 18x9.5 -4 front 18x11 -14rear No more spacers needed, not everyone's cup of tea, but i love the Yank style. The interior! got some S15 seats from a mate which will soon be buckets again. Some gauges to look pretty Oil temp, oil pressure and water temp. Stripped out everything else, removed all sound dedenning and sprayed the interior a dull chrome for the lols.
