Sileighty_85 · 06-20-2008, 05:59 PM

Alright So I only got the rear bumper on cuz weather started to look bad.

Start by removing the four bolts holding the bumper support (two on each side) 14mm

Then remove the 6 nuts(10mm) (3 on each side)

On the passenger side there is a black box (vent thingy)
there are two 10mm nuts on the top
Remove that and get the other 3 nuts

Remove bumper, before pulling bumper compeletly off disconnet the two wires for the licence plate lights

Fucking Tow hook

(I'll cut it off later)
*There are also two bolts located on this tow hook you have to remove

undo the crapload of 10 mils from the top of the bumper cover and the weird screw wedge thingys at the bottom and pull the licence plate lights wires through the bumper support dont forget the licence plate too

I painted this part so when I put everything together you wont see the original paint

So instead of using zip ties I reused the bumper cover holder thingys

depending on your kit you might have to waller the holes around until you get a good fit ment

Line up and drill out the holes for the licence plate lights

Painted the lower part cuz I dont ever wanna have to tak it off again

Finally installed after a hour of playing with it

Fitment is GREAT! Very flush

I've hear your not able to use the stock rear bumper support
But mine bolted up with out a problem, with no modification at all
(Bad Pic its more even now)

I'll be doing the side skirts tomorrow if the weather is good

*I highly advise having a buddy to help you install the rear bumper, I did it myself and it sucked so bad

Sileighty_85 · 06-21-2008, 08:33 PM

Side Skirts installed today ^_^

Fitment is very nice

Just like any old car the door sags on the driver side so it made closing the door pretty challanging

So i took my handy dandy dremel again and grinded down the bottom sides of the door to help close it

Its lookin better

So i decided to start painting the car

Prepin for for paint
*My camera for some reason makes the blue look lighter, Its actually darker than the pics show*

Jared helpin me Wet Sand

Looks beautiful Lolz

Now to let it cure

Just shipping the engine home Only, but my $600 inculded all my parts and acessories

Ex: Turbos, Intercooler, Spare Parts, Exhaust, Body Parts

If only the engine it would probably only cost you .....300-400 bucks?? cheaper than $600 though

So if you own a 180SX or can pic one up for cheap you can ship the engine and parts home for around $600

But it requires complete dissasembly of the Engine and breaking the Transmission in half.

I havent got very far since the first coat

Sand body with 250 grit
then 400
2x of paint
wet sand 800
2x more coats
wet sand 1,000 then 2,000

Sileighty_85 · 09-13-2008, 09:39 AM

Well its been awhile since I've updated (if anyones cared lol)

I feel like sharing this... Went to Mineral Well last month for a Drift day and on the way home I had 2 of my exhaust bolt fall out (one from the DP-Cat, and Cat-Cat-Back)
so the damn this was draggin home on my 6 hour drive home

well i had to be at work by 11 that night, so i had no time to find a home depot and of course I didnt have any spare bolts long enough. I tried stickin 3/8 rachet extension and zip tieing them down and sticking screw drivers and zip tieing those....with no luck they kept falling out. (RIP)

So I dragged the damn thing for about 100 miles until the cat flang was catchin on the uneven roads So I pulled over for the 3rd time and ripped the damn off on the interstate and crammed it in the back with my other 8 drift rims.

probably the only good thing coming of this is better ground clearance

So luckily it didnt scrape all the way through so i decided to pick up a 3 in pipe cut if in half and weld it to reinforce it.

My handy Dandy Harbor Freight Flux Welder :P

I ended up conforming the metal to the flatness to retain slightly better ground clearance.

ALSO...
Ive been gathering parts for my Tune.

So next month I should be getting Dyno'd Tuned unless I decide to pic up this GT2871 from a co-worker, I really wanna but it depends on price...Its used so maybe it'll be cheap

s13dan · 09-13-2008, 01:42 PM

i need to meet this "a friend".

Sileighty_85 · 10-24-2008, 11:37 PM

Sup peep kinda a little update, I finally have all my parts for my tune until I decided that I might as well upgrade to a GT2871R since i want more power and not spend the money twice on a tune so my plan is to get tuned around Christmas Time.

But I did Upgrade my lights I had some nice H3C I picked up in Japan but one burned out So I decided to Upgrade to an HID Kit.

Well I dont understand why ppl say that HID's in Silvia Light suck, Mine are F-ing Incredible. Amazing upgrade from regular Halogens.

I ordered a JD Lighting HID Kit from Phase 2 nice kit very easy install.

These Things are Tiny!

Installed

Pimp

I think these Have a Nice Cut off, I still need to adjust them a little bit but still...

Mine point straight, I dont know why ppl are always saying they point to the Right or whatever....
Like I said I need to tweak the a little bit
