Update time once again - woooo mo fuckin hooooo

DMAX bonet om nom











Blitz boost controller





Now just waiting on my skyline hubs and brakes to arrive and il get the TE37s fitted

Chewbaca

Well the car is well stripped down once again

Fitting new headunit and speakers front and back with tweeters up on the dash

wires running between headunit and rear speakers seem to be fucked so going to have to run new ones










Although its a bit dirty the purple underneath still looking bad ass Hubs off waiting on new skyline 5stud hubs and brakes





Got tires on the TE37's - went for Kumhos - 225 40 18's nice mild stretch which was what i wanted - i love these wheels - They look more bad ass than any SP1 or S1









Also got a set of as new second hand genuine rays wheels nuts with lock nuts in red, wanted blue but for the price/condition i couldnt say no





Thats al for now, hopefully have the digital clocks/HUD in soon and have the 5stud hubs soon so i can get these wheels fitted

Chewbaca

well iv got another update

Well they are finally back and working

Had to send these off to get the capacitors replaced, apparently when they arent used in a while the capacitors die so the digi part wont show up, anyway i found a guy who is a whizz with this kinda shit and it only cost 20 quid - Boom

Fuckin over the moon with them - cannot wait to get them fitted properly now some weekend soon








Got a wee video of them aswell




Have another part coming this week aswell, should be here on friday, probably theeee rarest part out there for a 180sx - cant wait to get my hands on it

Chewbaca

Well just got these

Those who know what they are - yes they are real haha

Chewbaca

So yeah heres a pic of the louvres fitted















AerocatChes for the DMAX



Standard rear bumper back on

Chewbaca

More toys

Big Thanks to Petko for hookin me up with all this, full setups like these are getting extremely hard to get and getting extremely expensive so - very much appreciated man

S15 front hubs
S14 LCA's for extra camber
R33 Skyline front discs/calipers
R33 Skyline Rear hub/disc/calipers
R33 handbrake cables
Braided lines
20mm spacers

Hoping to get the time to get this stuff on next weekend and finally shel be back dancing with her new shoes








Also got Kouki rear spats



Ok so i spent a hectic weekend in the garage gettin this all done

Interior and CD player - speakers all wired up and workin sexcellently - interior all back in and looking like a car again

fitted the new s14 bottom arms, s15 front hubs and the skyline brakes and all that jazz and i FINALLY got the TE37s on . still need to raise the back up a taste and fire on a set of 20mm spacers that i have layin there but it is starting to look a lot better. also fired on the standard kouki rear end. The DMAX bonet is away getting tidied up and i should have the lot away to get painted in the next few weeks and then i think i might have this yok back on the road

HALLELUJAH


ANYWAY AYE SO PICS


S15 front hubs and s14 lower arms



The 14 bottom arms allow for a SHIT LOAD more camber




The fronts all done n dusted




The rears all done n dusted





Wheels on - still have to space the rears and raise it up a bit at the back

Chewbaca

Got an adjustable actuator to go along with the boost controller

Boost up to a bar and this bad boy should be enough for all il need it for, car still is a daily driver and i dont want her sittin mental power as shes perfect the way she is.



Fitted HEL braided lines front n back (had to with the back for the skyline hubs)






Spent a lot of time then footerin about fixin wee odd jobs that were annoyin me and that had to be fixed - changed fluids and just gave her a good look over - have her sittin as well as i can for now, im lookin for a set of rear camber arms as i cant put her down any lower at the back until i can camber them in a bit

She seems to be driving perfect so tonight il have a beer and call it job well done













On full lock the tires catchin the inner lip, should be aight tho, not doin it too badly and the car looks bad ass so i aint changin it

Got her back in just in time too

Chewbaca

Few more bits to do to this but its back on the road and driving amazingly

Fitted the adjustable actuator and the blitz SBC and have the car runnin in around a bar boost and its pullin like a train - big difference to standard .5 bar with a wanked actuator

Have yet to:
Fit front Splitter
Fit Rear Diffuser
Cut and weld the exhaust flush with the back bumper
Fit Digi dash and HUD neatly

But im very happy with how the car is looking and driving

whats your thoughts












RAYS came up as new with a good clean



And these should be here today or Monday at the latest thanks to juicy juice

Oakville

I genuinely dislike hatchbacks....this is one of the ONLY ones I like. I am a fan buddy!

Japanese Christmas

Thanks to juice for hookin me up with some black/white checkered mats for the front and back

they are a serious serious quality - would reccommend them to anyone






He also sent me a genuine KIDS HEART sticker and a few planet drift stickers and a Gaku Dori mag

happy bunny

Chewbaca

this update be small but im a happy man - i managed to find a full boot interior - wanted one as the overall goal is to have an old 94 road car with as many comforts as modern cars

A lot of work cleaning it up and fitting it all properly but boom its all in

iv seen very few 180s that still had the full boot interiors

xBtony

So clean and awesome. Makes me regret gutting my interior.

God knows what itl look like in a years time

jookybanana

man sick 180sx build, i love it, keep up the awesome-ness!!

Chewbaca

cheers dude

Chewbaca

Few pics from Mondello










Me and Rorys layin outside work

Chewbaca

So

I got this back last week, had it away gettin all the capacitors replaced, dont ask me what this means, it just means it now works perfectly

https://scontent-a-fra.xx.fbcdn.net/...34103427_n.jpg

So now that it was back it was time to do this - TO A PERFECT UNCRACKED, UNMARKED DASH























So yeah thats it in and bolted down tight and everything working as it should, it was an absolute cunt of a job in all fairness, there is no real way of mapping it out, i practiced on an old fucked dash i had layin about but still, theres no real proper template you can make, pretty much start in the middle and work your way out - but yeah it works wooop wooop

Also put in a set of NGK 7s and they are soooo class as i was suffering some boost cut with the boost up at a bar



And probably the best £35 quid you could spend on a car - thanks to Mark John and Jamie for gettin her set up




Another pic i found from IDC round 1
