View Full Version : NoelB's 180sx Project
Well after 3months of dossing around I said I better stick up a thread. First of all a big thanks ta creepy for all the help he gave with the car and the other mates too who aint on the site.
Put the car away in teh shed after a long search for a runabout. This is how it was the day I put it away

After a while shoveling snow we finally got the car in
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii203/NoelB27/180sx%20project/100_2247.jpg
First thing we started into was stripping the interior so out with the old and in with the new
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii203/NoelB27/180sx%20project/100_2270.jpg
Had picked up a red recaro and a type x seat at right money. Only problem was the recaro was on a s-body passenger rail but after a while fabricating and bateing it went in a virgin fit (only after this I realised what a passo recaro rail was worth ha)

Notice aswell the whole interior stripped. Had this sent off to be flocked. Will have pics up soon
Had picked up a few performance parts since November because am aiming to get it mapped so heres what I got
Turbo elbow

Blitz dual sbc boost controller
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii203/NoelB27/180sx%20project/100_2251.jpg
Also picked up a z32 with a sard air filter. This wont be going on till the car is being mapped

Had also got a manifold (also japspeed) but never took a pic. Its been on a few weeks so excuse how burnt it is haha
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii203/NoelB27/180sx%20project/100_2335.jpg
Mani and elbow, may also be able ta make out the downpipe

http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii203/NoelB27/180sx%20project/100_2333.jpg
Wired up the boost gauge. While doing so found a large crack in an actuator pipe so that was causing major power loss. So with boost controller set up at .8 bar on high theres a mental difference!!

http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii203/NoelB27/180sx%20project/100_2346.jpg
Got all my interior back so time for that ta be put back in. So basically dash, door cards and centre console were flocked with a little bit of carbon fibre wraping too. Have more ta get hydrofoiled soon enough. Was an awful pain in the arse trying ta get the dash back in

http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii203/NoelB27/180sx%20project/100_2342.jpg
Was always toying with the idea of changing the colour of the wheels so decided ta pull a bit of paint of and see what was underneath
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii203/NoelB27/180sx%20project/100_2336.jpg
Its actually a nice polished surface so gonna get them done soon
Next I sent the car off ta get the roof sprayed black. Car is now kinda sittin like a reveresd cam ha
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii203/NoelB27/180sx%20project/100_2345.jpg

And dose that fit straight on to the sr cause have a ae86 relocation plate in the garage ? is there a difference in the threads on the black tops and red tops cause we tried it on a black top and wont fit ????

The Toyota oil filter 90915-10001 has a thread pattern of 3/4"-16
The Nissan oil filter 15208-70J00 also has a thread pattern of 3/4"-16 (Non VVT)
The Nissan oil filter 15208-3J400 has a thread pattern of M 20x1,5 (VVT)
That could be your problem

is that a woooopsy stain i see on the center console ?? :rolleyes::rolleyes:
Its a stain and Im not ashamed of it :P
lovely car man, fair play? have i seen it around galway once or twice?
cool car man the wheels look alot better where did ya get all the carbon fibre bits for the dash an centre console
@ Maloney Ya would have been up in Galway regularily enough last year. Not so much these days
@ Deco Lad in Mayo near Kiltimagh done all the carbon dipping and flocking. His websites flocking.ie (very original thinking haha)
Yet another update. Only realising now how little pictures I took but ye'll get the general jist.
With drive4charity comming up I wanted ta do something a bit different with the car. Also was having some heating problems so needed ta get the head done. So combineing the two ideas together I decided to get the engine bay sprayed. So after a couple of evenings stripping, sealing and degreasing the engine was out and ready for paint. So off it went and while that was a away we got cracking on the Cosworth head gasket, arp head bolts and studs and the head went off for a skim. Then all cleaned and back together.

http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii203/NoelB27/180sx%20project/DSCN0387.jpg
So, the car came back from spraying...and i was over the moon. Nothing at all what I expected. pics do this no justice what so ever! And it looks unbeleiveable at night.

http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii203/NoelB27/180sx%20project/DSCN0388.jpg
So time ta start piecing it all back together. In the mean time had got braided lines, a set of BLOX wheels nuts, a heat wrapped Skunk2 mani, some bits done in carbon effect and an r33 power cable to tidy up the cableing to the battery in the boot.

centre console- 45
custom built gauge holder- 50
I only test drove the car for a day, i didn't really want to be seen in it :p hahaha

Some work done air play! ur man that does the carbon dip is that dear? and he can do it onto steel?
Hahaha it only took you a year to put them clocks in hahah
Here's one of the pics you were after, this was around the time i imported it and thats how she looked at the time, i'll have a look for a few more pictures and post them up soon..
another.. and one with the 15 front
sorry could'nt put them all in one post. that was how she looked when i sold it on.
@ Jay Nah relatively cheap for what your getting. As long as whatever steel ya want done can be taken off the car then ya no bother
@ smartarse peepsqueek I was waiting for the correct oppurtunity :P
@ Dereko Cheers dude. Has seen some change since then! Really likeing the cr kais on it! Cheers for getting the pics
fine bita work done on the 180 noel looks awsome
Right so after almost 2 years of talking about it adn after convinceing herself ta pay for half of it for my birthday I finally booked a date for mapping. Wanted ta do it right when I was getting it done so decided to go for bigger blower adn generally a better setup. So found a perfect HKS 2540 with HKS mani, elbow and actuator and braided lines on driftireland (thanks to Newsome sound lad ta deal with) and off I went ta Wicklow ta pick it up.KIlled a day off sure.

http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii203/NoelB27/180sx%20project/DSCN0533.jpg
I was pretty happy doing just that but of course Pepstrex (Petko) being the salesman he is convinced me to buy a set of tomei highlifts. I couldnt really refuse seeing as they were comming at really good money. He also got me a Sard FPR.

http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii203/NoelB27/180sx%20project/DSCN0564.jpg
Also was afradi that my clutch wouldnt be able for the upgrade in power so when I spotted this HKS twinplate clutch with flywheel and release bearing I couldnt resist ( thanks again to Andy [Juice] another sound lad ta deal with and cheers for the heat wrap :D ), also got a bride gear boot and a Greddy turbo timer off hm too. And sure when I was in Galway woould be rude not ta buy something off nikkisxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx, so got his Greddy tusuction pipe from the turbo to the afm, unfortunately it doesnt fit but these things happen, thak god Petko gave me the loan of his to get me through the mapping. SO if anyone has one please let me know haha

So after leaving the car up ta Pepstrex he got stuck in, after a few hicups of course with only myself to blame but of course he was able sort it out. Another top job! Off I went early on a Sunday morning down ta Stiv. Bita road mapping they said.....be grand they said, and it was grand, didnt have ta drive like the lunatic I was expecting ta have ta be. Cannot speak highly enough of Stiv. While I was down there we stuck in a Z32 fuel filter and a new set of spark plugs. He checked everything. Got the car mapped up and running sweet at 1.3bar now. Next now is try get it dyno'd so just ta have a figure on it. Hate guesstimating.
Had also got myself a Cusco oil catch can and an alloy coolant tank

have you fitted the hks gt2540 yet?? how do you find it?? i have one on my s15 and i find it really laggy!
minttt read the build the whole way thru, car came a long way man only thing id change is the wheels somethin about them IMO cool car tho bud:cool:
He has sum rather nice plans for the body work well i do any way haha. Word is tho thats hes deeply in love and he spend all his body work money on the woman for xmas :P
Awwwww thats pure cute awwww remeber one day she will ask you to chose between her and the car as they all do. Still glad i chose my car anyway!!
@ Cillian ya anytime man would be in Galway a good bit. And if ya could score me some super fortress stickers Id gladly take another spin up haha
@ Tom and Dan ya must give ye a spin sometime. Its nothing crazy. Just nice power
@ Gavin I aint the one getting the engagement ring for my woman :P Anyway I need to look after her for sexytime purposes!! #gingernutsshesnodturboboi
@ Ali Cheers man. Bodywork will more than likely be a full bn kit, new origin wings and wider rear quaters (50mm I'd say) Put the rear wheels on the front, upgrade the rear to a r33 5stud setup and get some really nice dished wheels! Thinking maybe Vienna for the back with a crazy low offset
@ Nikki, I like it. Does be laggy but the way its mapped its liveable. Im pretty happy with it.
@ fitzer Cheers man
Ok so picked up a Cusco 6point cage pretty cheap. In need of a respray so will get that done soon enough. Also picked up a set of Blitz DC gauges. Very cool slimline piece of kit! And cheaper than Defi's. Also picked up a Vertex front bumper off Nikki. No pics of that just yet but again a sound guy ta deal with.

Samll bit done. Gauges in. Have still the Blitz's to fit. Also have wingliners in. Greddy turbo timer in tonight along with the Yashio Factory water temp gauge, not working however, will have to research it more. Gave the engine bay a good cleaning, well petko did the most of it lol for Meet and Great in Boyle on Sunday. Waiting on brand new superformas 25mm bolt on spacers tomorrow from Shane in Drive in Style and camber it in at the front more. Also Petko was kind enough to give me a standard Nissan footrest, factory option in 180's and a rare part so I'm told.

Looking well Noel will sound sweet with the new system too
Right so got forced into doing Mondelloon the 30th, whether im gonna regret this or not is yet ta be seen lol But in the mean time I reckoned the car needed some attention to have it ready for the track so landed it over to Petko yet again whhile I dont need the car for a week or so. Went over to get full fluid change and everything checked out but turned out it needed a little bit more love than what I thought,
The clutch was wanked so thank god I had the HKS twinplate clutch with flywheel and release bearing so that got thrown in. Rear subframe bushings were shagged so got Powerflex bushings off Shane in Drive n Style. While the subframe was out it got sandblasted.

Have been talking about buying these wheels for months off Dave in Japanese performance and finally bit the bullet. Wont be running these on the car until I get the rear 50m quarters put on. There riverside Allstadt's 9.5 et -1

Pics didn't attach will put up pics later and more updates later
More pics above on post #118
So got the wheels in speedy time from Dave. Absolutely no hassle with him despite what I was told. I found him a gent ta deal with. As soon as they landed had ta give them a test fitting.

Also decided a cage might be no harm at all for the 30th please god I wont be needing it but after keeping my eye on it for a while and just waiting for the money ta come ta me I bought this cage off blusrule. Very sound lad ta deal with and again no hassle with him. Came with weld in door bars but they will be removed until I find some way to quick release them.

Probably the best decision I have made with this car....or should I say been persuaded into lol was buying a gt2871r off Stevo. God I love the turbo. Liked the Hks 2540 I had but the 2871 is just in my opinion after driving my car the ultimate turbo for a road going sr. No pics but it looks like a snail!!
I'll leave it for the time being with this, my inspiration car at the minute.

Lowered it slightly for the time being just to keep it middling right looking. Heres now shes sitting as of now. Needs to get the 25m spacers for the front again but reluctant to buy them because changing the wheel setup shortly.

Its getting ever closer to the stage where i can afford to respray it and build the engine, albeit with the help of the credit union. But its at the point where I have to shut up talking and do it. Colour choice has been picked and engine rebuild has been budgeted so hopefully there will be big updates soon.
Looking good Noel, did you get the cage fitted after?
If you want to tidy up the end of those braided hoses cheaply wrap some insulation tape around the ends to stop them fraying and put the clamps over the tape. Makes a good difference, especially on a bay as clean as that!
Cheers man. No never got around ta it. Have it sprayed just waiting ta put it in. Had NCT comming up so said I'd hang on till after that. Oh yes good thinking will sort that out soon.
Good stuff, shouldn't give you any hassle going in anyway! Ha I'd dread the thoughts of a nct on one of those! Fair play!
So did I but finally got it passed after the 5th attempt!!!! Lol

Gave the wheels a quick polish. Could do with a few more goes but the car is off the road now and will have time to split them and give them a good going over.

Wheels look well once ya actually shine em,, Ya should give the centers a doing now and spray em!
Wheels staying polished man just gona polish them more so it's a mirror finish.
I taught the wheels were nicer white! Nice car tho
A lot of people saying that man but in person there much better polished and the colour of the car will be changed soon so they will hit the new colour a lot more than white. Always thinking ahead ;)
So been gathering a few bits the last while. Time ta get moving on this. Have a very realistic deadline set for next year. Should break it once the car heads off for spraying.

gaaaaayyyyyyy !!
Ya Kenny probably will be in the next few weeks but still undecided whether I'll actually let it go. See what I'm offered in guess. Plenty of update should be coming thick and fast so will be posting on this more regular in the next while.
Gavin let's keep your preferences outa my thread please :P
Nice car .. Kinda same engine dpec as my own ..
Is 1.5 bar not a bit much just on a gasket and studs ? I'd say it's making good power ?
No Stiv was quite happy to run it at that. And the only thing that let me down has been the springs and retainers. So it's gona get a fresh build not while the car is being sprayed and will have a lot more spec!
Those wheels are class when polished!! Looks really cool
Which ones man the ones I've always had?? Ya well pleased with them. They will be even cooler when we've finished with them!
Great work been done noel,the wee daily is pretty cool aswel what are they like to run?
Cheers man. Actually a great little car. I got a good one. Wicked fun too
Drop me a pm when your selling if I have funds at the time I may be interested as a new daily :)
Haha cool. I reckon this wi be the easiest car I've ever had to sell. 3 or 4 lads onta me ha
They'll probably beat me to it I'm a tight f##ker :)
That's why you've so much money then :P haha
That's why you've so much money then :P haha lies my well is bone dry now haha
So still gathering parts. Priced spraying so theres a big push on now. Need to get a move on been sitting on my ass with it long enough.

So the car is still down with Flip Morrissey in Waterford. Hopefully have it back in about two weeks. Been tipping away touching up a few bits with paint myself just to tidy them up. Also tackled the rocker cover just to see how it would come out. Was relatively happy with the finish. Will do for a while anyway.

Also the first of the engine rebuild parts came. Brian Crower Springs as retainers.

Then got onto Brian from KaberPerformance. Went and met him and walked away with rear toe, traction and camber arms and front tension. These seem amazing quality and have heard nothing but good things about them. He also filled me in on some stuff he's working on so keep an eye on them for some amazing parts soon.

Have the car back now, looking awesome and with the help of Petko and Gavin (d-turbo-lad) we're making good progress. Hopefully no hiccups to come.

so was trying to keep the colour a secret, not because its something mad but just because I like surprises! But now I'm not arsed, having a slump with the car and hopefully hearing yer comments will make my inspiration lift again. Went with r32 skyline grey, knew I wanted some shade of grey and after seeing this colour in the flesh a few times I knew it was the shade for the car and also wanted to keep the colour something Nissan. Like I said, I hadnt planned on showing the colour so the pics arent great and the wheels are all wrong aswell as missing bumpers but ye will get the general jist.
On the lift getting the cage in and kaber performance arms fitted.

After an overly long wait from Robbie in tdp and after excuse after excuse I finally got my head back with the mush areas machined out. Then went to engine re in Castlebar to get the springs and retainers fitted.

Also got some replica takata harness's for it. Seem good quality. And for what I'll be using them for reps will do the finest. Think the black will tie in with the interior better than the green ones.

When stripping the engine we spotted some wear on the oil pump gears so waiting now for a rebuild kit. That should be the main buys for the engine out of the way then.
Thats all for now. Hopefull bigger and better updates soon.
I like the colour! The rear is screaming for the red kouki lights.
Kouki lights are everywhere now though. Up close the 50/50s suit it really well. Would love to put koukis on it but just too many cool cars have them now
Sent the front wheels off for polishing. Should be down to me Monday hopefully

Coming along well now, with new paint its always best to freshen the wheels. Where did you send them for polishing?
Ya they had gotten a bit tatty and have been putting them on the long finger so no time like the present. Polished alloys on facebook. He's jn Belfast. Wanted to go to Brendan Gordon but he looks flat out and I was in a panic

Is Brendan Gordon good? Be looking to get my wheels polished and looking for someone good. Can you pm his details if you have them and think he's worth a call? Thanks
Pm team chihuahua or Romeo Caesar on facebook. He's probably the best in the country

Also picked up these rack spacers off James Spillane. Seem to be a really tidy. It's kit and a simple modification.

After sand blasting, there was a few patches that needed a shot of weld so, being a useless welder, I spent last night watching a mate make a right tidy job of it all

Threw on the wheels just to see how they will look. Back will need a 20mm spacer to have it sitting right. Fronts should be perfect.

Decided the last day not to push the car to be at Japfest, it would just be too rushed and things not done right. There is a lot of wiring to be done yet. So gona buy a crate of heiniken for the weekend and wait for Auto Hero's in October.
Progress is slow between cold evenings and starting a new job. But there's no panic and things are being done right and for the long term. Picked up a brand new Apexi multi checker off Gavin (D-turbo-lad). Aluminium polished pulleys and larger throttle body installed.

Picked up a Broadway mirror off Mcg also.

Problem at the minute with turning the engine over. Possibly the adapter plate for the Rb box jamming against the flywheel. Have to strip all the prop and gearbox now to investigate more. Will have it running by the end of this week.

Took five years but was so worth it. Lots more to finish it off. Interior, mapping and small bits and modified front subframe. Huge thanks to Petko (pepstrex) for all his hard work and knowledge. For anyone down the country this man is worth travelling the distance for the work he puts into things!

As I said before this is awesome in every way! The colour really suit the strawberry face! Looks like it has serious road presence as well!
Thanks Dave. Still waiting to do that spec sheet. Will raise it for Nct but after that will be playing about with height. Another 10mm up front and that's the wheel fitment finished. The rear 9.5 -1 sit perfect with a 25mm spacer.
Fair play! You've me looking for loads of Alloy shiney bits for under of the bonnet for the mx-5 now!ha ha
Driftworks dude. Handiest place I found just searching the forums. That and eBay
Maybe for s body's but not much aftermarket parts for the mx5 on driftworks, loads on ebay but hard to know if it's a copy or a dud on ebay at times ha
Looks tough man, fair play! Can't wait to see it in the flesh
On the forums there does be bits popping up. Scene for mx5's is a lot bigger over there. There's a build there for them mintyfresh Miata. If ya search through that they might say where they got bits. Or you could always stick an Sr into it and buy the same bits as mine 😂😂
You've done a great job making this into a good Sbody. Some nice additions to it. Would love to see some Kouki lights on the back, not a fan of 50/50's, I feel they cheapen the overall look of what is a quality build. thats just my opinion though, i'm a sucker for Koukis. No disrespect intended!
looks savage dude, amazing what 5yrs and loads of cash can do ;) ha ha
Looks tough man, fair play! Can't wait to see it in the flesh
Cheers LarZ. Should hopefully make Auto Heroes in March, if not definitely April. Will be its first proper outing.

I do love Kouki's too. And I understand where your coming from but it seems every 180sx has them these days. Wanted something a bit different. May change in the future again. No disrespect taken. Better to hear honest opinions.
looks savage dude, amazing what 5yrs and loads of cash can do ;) ha ha
Stop it I don't want to think of the figures 😂 better to spread the cost out over several years though but this year was tough. Very little of a social life and my clothes have holes in them but so worth it lol
I like the 50/50s witht the big kit. Very period correct. I wouldn't change them to be honest.
Wouldn't be changing for Kouki's anyway. Maybe tinted 50/50s but I'll just get tint and so the ones I have if it gets to that
So been way too long since I've updated this. Still working on it but finishing line is in sight. Should be attempting an nct within the next week or so. Few little issues to sort in the meantime but nothing major.
Got some side skirt extensions off Japstyle.org. Adam is dead on to deal with and these are great quality with a carbon fibre effect.

To match I'm currently waiting on these genuine origin carbon fibre front under canards to land from Japan. Sourced through Jesse Streeter, this is the first time I've dealt with him and I hope to deal with him again. So helpful.

The under canards came today as well from Jesse Streeter. Direct from Origin Japan finished in the finest of genuine carbon fibre.
Jesse is a gent to deal with and will definitely be getting more bits off him in the future. Only threw them up to test fit. Will fix on after the Nct which is booked in for Friday night.

And then came a moment I've been waiting for, for a long time. Got to bring it for petrol. The longest I've driven the car since August 2014. Car feels good, forgot how solid it was on the road, just get some fine tuning done on the alignment and it should be a sweet little car to handle.

Cheers man. I always wanted them on a car and reckon they suit it really well

Ya I think so too. Looks so much more aggresive. There's no way it's gona pass. Needs to be mapped first but here's hoping there won't be much else needed 😂
So, went to the Nct centre last night and they sent me home to raise it up. Got a refund so no harm done which I thought was sound. Booked in again for Wednesday evening.
Now comes, for what some may seem, the most stupid update ever. If ye don't already know I love Jdm/drift stickers. Been collecting for almost four years gathering ones I like here and there with the aim of putting them on the car when it's finished. Had a free hour this morning so banged a few on the cage. Will be putting more on after Nct. May not be to everyone's taste but that's the joys of stickers, if I get sick of them I can just take hem off. Also put on my "Bride" armrest cover.

Took a spin down to Stiv to get my mapped tweeked after the rebuild. Made 381bhp at 1.3bar of boost. Torque figures are pretty good too. Love how the car drives now and would recommend Stiv to anyone looking to get mapping done. Super sound guy and his advice and knowledge is second to none.

Day after that I got Nct, so straight after that I got the car back to looking right. Dropped it, wheels spaced back out and the de-cat put back in. Started to put the interior together then as well. Love the new office! Bride LowMax drivers seat, black Dc2 recaro passenger seat, "Takata" harness's, snap off boss, checkered mats.

Loving the car at the minute. Great to be back driving it. Will take a week or two to get back in the hang of sliding it but dieing to try it again!!
Now just some randoms. Had the car at a show and shine I organise for charity and also down to Mondello for Auto Heroes. Some pics from the weekend. (Rights of photos belong to photographers only)
