View Full Version : The 90sx!! Pic heavy
Well as a few may know already I've been building a 180 for track use it wasn't intended for track but I think it was the right decision.
So I got the car which I swapped for a golf I had but could'nt live with
it came as this

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy323/diffindan/20130114_122835.jpg
standard enough, coilovers, frontmount the usual .
So the plan was road car as I already had drift car but multiple phonecalls
off Colm Murray to inform me that he had already organised a man to put in a weld in cage even though I was still saying it would be a road car and a night full of jack daniels later I decided to put my 14 up for sale

So it literally took a few hours and I had a deposit in my hand so the project was given the go ahead

good luck with project hope goes to plan for you.
So I said Id start stripping
couple of hours later
http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy323/diffindan/20130122_205720_zps608fa7b7.jpg
Decided Id strip the loom
http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy323/diffindan/20130124_132544.jpg
Then about an hour later threw the loom in the bin and decided to make my own loom
http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy323/diffindan/20130126_195207.jpg
Then the dreaded sound deadening this took about two days chiseling and rubbing down with petrol my god it was a pain but the results were good and the amount of weightt is pretty crazy
http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy323/diffindan/20130129_215032_zpsa87bd653.jpg
So then time for some weight loss and get the car ready for cage so invited two of the lads up and gave Murray the grinder with a few discs didnt see him for about two hours behind all the sparks got the doors off windscreen out wings off as stripped as we could get it for cage
http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy323/diffindan/20130129_215017_zpse3972a92.jpg

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy323/diffindan/20130129_215040_zps728e55ed.jpg
So the car went for cage to Paul Cusack in Castletownroche, collected it a few days later and was very very pleased just wanted a straight forward cage as tight to the pillars and roof as possible didn't think it would be possible to get as close as he did though check out the welds to roof front and back and A pillars

Is it just me that the pics wont load?
Pics are fine... one of the lads use to own this..
Now the real work started courtesy of the man who convinced me to start this in the first place who is also responsible for this :

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy323/diffindan/2jM32_zps8d622218.jpg
So you can see now why it was easy for him to sway me into building a track car!!!
The next two weeks were going to be pretty hectic and with Murray only working on the car after work and weekends I think its pretty impressive what has been done!
The aim was to have it ready for 24th Feb which seemed unrealistic but the end is in sight now!
So dropped it to Murrays garage I think of a Thurs night two weeks ago
Had in the meantime picked up some 4 of these
http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy323/diffindan/20130131_144842_zpsc0c5bc21.jpg
And painted up a 14 subframe and skyline wishbones
http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy323/diffindan/20130202_170038_zps15818c2f.jpg
Got them bolted up and also had a full R33 brake setup which went on
then grinder out again and fabricate a new place to put the shiny tank

Pictures workin fine for me. The BMW is FUCKING nuts. Why haven't I ever seen it??the 180 was striped and caged in no time.
So he attached the bosch 044 and got the front brakes working and it was my turn to do some work to the car the inside painting and outside painting which I had two days basically to do which would have been last Thursday
scotch scotch hoover hoover
http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy323/diffindan/20130214_170034_zps376cb726.jpg
2.5 hours straight painting later, remember this is my third time lifting a spray gun I'm far from an expert but I'm very happy with results
Note the welded in hydro bracket!

Then decided on polycarbonate after this
http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy323/diffindan/20130205_161730_zps7f9a3ace.jpg
Lost some more weight then off doors and such
http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy323/diffindan/20130207_220512_zps64ba781a.jpg
I then flocked dash

Murray modified some wings so wheels would fit
http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy323/diffindan/20130212_195643_zps982bbaeb.jpg
Fair amount of work man keep it up. That BMW is insane!
The wings look class. Can you get a better of them from the side, so I can seen them where they meet the side skirt .

Can't beat reading a good build thread
Good job
Love the custom wings and the kit.. are you running the Rotas? a nismo bonnet vent would look awesome.
That is coming out quiet nice!
Wings are pretty cool looking, would like to see them in the flesh..
Colour is top notch too!!
The wings are the business alright and the main thing for me is youd kinda look twice at them and there not just for looks they serve a purpose! The long term plan would be a ps front the bonnet i got off chucky its after more hits than the beetles but ive done my best with it I like nismo vents but I think on the sixteens the more subtle the better the overfenders on the back went on as the 14 sub is wider every styling change has a purpose on this car the way I like it , the idea was low weight small wheels standardish power good handling hence the dw hubs and have some fun, there is a plan for an engine which will definately go against the grain but thats a bit off yet have s15 ecu injectors afm to fire into it but wanna remove engine and take out more weight and make a frame for front , but this will be after superdrift as time is tight

Ill be sticking with the rotas for the time being ill have to get twenty foot ramps to get it on trailer its so low tho ha
I got a pair of these for 30bucks and sold the koukis dont value the koukis theyd only get smasmashed anyway so better off

Really liking the look of that, what model seat is that?

id like to see it stick on 16s but some 10" wide Advan A3A,s or ONIs... keep up the good work anyway looks awesome.. tint looks cool on the lights also
Ha ha were goin weighing it for the craic on the neighbours weighbridge see wat shes at
I'd say with cage and all things 1050 kg?
Ha ha were goin weighing it for the craic on the neighbours weighbridge see wat shes at
Original weight would be 1210kg for manual and just for the craic 1230kg for auto. Just to give you something to go on.
The paint came out well, even if it was your 4th time picking up a spray gun, and it is something different and fresh for a change. I likes.

I agree with staying with the small wheels Itll be interesting now to see how it goes i believe theres a 4:1 in it, that tint didnt work out feckin drizzled while it was dryin but got some more so hope it goes well

Ya well see hopefully itll be a fair bit less than standard but its not just about losing the weight its about having it jn the right place, Id say I might start offering a cheap spraying service for track cars maybe 2-300 for full car I did cooks green 14a on here and my beige 14a and now this so fellas could check out my work first ,

A yea, I seen cooks s14 at the last drift day in Mondello , the colour was really cool,and fresh . I take it you've seen it sense?? I hope cooks don't mind me saying , but I think it's need another spray job on the back !!haha. He was unfortuneit to lose the back end. But the colour was class on it.
Deadly build man where did u get the dash flocked ?

deadly car man! love the custom wings!
Looked very well out on track today :cool:
Cheers for comments lads unfortunately broke my phone so had no recent updates made the deadline and had it out on track today went well for something that wasn't test drove unbelievable grip and control in comparison to the old 14a, but unfortunately the engine gave up the ghost so the project is going to continue a bit faster than I had hoped !
Few bits gathered for this after the depression of the car giving up the last day I havent been able to even look at it but have big plans once again and hopefully will be at it again in the not too distant future
New lump no more turbos!!!

Thats all for now must get a few more bits and some management and hopefully the build will re-start,

well been gathering bits for this flat out at work so not going as fast as the original build but murray is still pluggin away at it whenever he gets time not far from finished now management is the only thing Im stuck on with the engine being fairly rare here Im mainly chatting to lads in the US for info.
Few Goodies : alloy pulleys and a kinetix plenum from the states

That bonnet doesn't look too bad. I think mine is higher than that:confused:
Is your plenum right up against the bulkhead?
I've gone for aem management on mine. I'm currently in the middle of wiring.....nightmare lol
We had it up against the bulkhead but he wasnt happy so we cut the top of it lets say where the wiper linkage is so the back of plenum will slide over the bulkhead a bit but the back of engine is as close as it can go now to the bulkhead , the wiring in them is ridiculous i have been trying to pick up an ecu to suit but have been quoted 3k for ecu and fitting other option is z fever in florida if I send them loom and ecu they will reconfigure ecu and modify loom cut the crap out of it and leave me with four wires to connect think thats 700 euros I was going to go omex but they cant control the vvt which would be a shame Im on the fence at the moment but theres a big difference between the prices of the two I cud buy a transporter with yhe savings if I went z fever ha! Youll be seeing track soon so? Cant wait to get a go off mine hopefully it will be as good as we imagine it will be

That's probably back a bit further than mine. Did ye space the subframe down?
Just wondering as my bonnet seems to sit very high.
Look up some reviews on z fever before you go that route dude. Don't seem to be the quickest at getting stuff sent out. Another us based company I've seen is Chasebays.
Factory service manuals on this link http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM/350Z/coupe/ Wiring diagram on pages 101 and 102 of the ec PDF.
Nah the subframe was modded to take the factory vq mounts but not spaced down the pics are with bonnet touching plenum it will be lifted another 10mm or so I know ive read a bit about z fever and im not extremely comfortable about going that route but options are limited unfortunately ,have the fsm already and decided for a finish theres just too much crap in the loom with the can system and the nats we could probably size down the loom but would still need the ipdm and bcm along with key and halo which is something i dont wanna do i want the wiring to be simple straight forward no room for problems , If I cud get an ecu in and fitted for sub 2k id go for it over z fever but im getting nowhere with an ecu that control the vvt I just dont know enough about this stuff unfortunately Im at the mercy of everyone else to give me info! What model aem did ya get ? Will it run the vvt for you?
calicagesracing
25-05-13, 08:30
You have 2 choices, the 30-1050(U) or the 30-1900. Either can control the vvt. One needs soldering on the board, the other doesn't.

Couple of good updates for this soon the end is in sight!!!!
looking well danny. some nice tasty work gone into her fair play.
Cheers lad hope it pays off!
Picked up a starlet brake servo and master cylinder because standard wouldnt fit ! Bolt holes even lined up perfect!

That is sexy! Well done on building very unique car
cheers lads , few more pics

engine again had to reverse an sr rad then chop the inlets and swap them onto opposite side for it to fit right , also bolted on a viscous fan http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy323/diffindan/enginefront_zps69376726.jpg (http://s804.photobucket.com/user/diffindan/media/enginefront_zps69376726.jpg.html)

inbetween all the rushing about I managed to paint the buddies sil80 while I was waiting for my fpr bonnet and rear door to dry

Some boring wiring stuff! Everything is going to be plugged in so if the engine ever has to come out theres just a few plugs
http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy323/diffindan/IMAG0004_zpse801f6f1.jpg (http://s804.photobucket.com/user/diffindan/media/IMAG0004_zpse801f6f1.jpg.html)
Some quality work there. Very nice build.
Thanks!
Been flat out last few nights with colm doing the wiring it's unbelieveable how time consuming it is but it's something that I really don't want any problems with , so we stripped down the 350z loom took out what we needed made up our own loom and starting crimping pins for ecu also ran all dash wires and switch wires through plugs so everything can be plugged straight out trying to make it as functional as possible so if there's any problems in the future they should be easily found. A few pics of what we were at tonight
Ecu wires pinned

Holy shit, that is a beautiful car man.
Cheers man delighted it seems to be workin out fair hard goin full swing in the build without even hearing the engine running big relief
Ye sounds class man...wen do ya wreckon u will have it out, would love to hear it on full chat
Ah don't wanna put a figure on it really anywhere in the high 200s I'd be delighted with it's more about low down torque in this shud be tons hopefully, if there ain't enuf then well just have to turbo/charge it
Absolutely serious car, even the tidying inside is immaculate, Quality thread

nice build that as for the engine never seen one of those in a 180 before if it works for you go on the dan.
Cheers, oh it'll work alright one way or the other !
Great build man . Just read through the whole thing again. Nice to see some updates on the site . I'd say your lookin forward to a spin
Im mad for a spin alright waiting all year ha, ah sher thats the joys of it !
How she sits at the moment hopefully have it all together again over weekend!

When's her first day out Danny!!??
Hard to say yet Dave, will no more at the end of the weekend but ideally in the next month or two anyway!
Will be updating this soon with engine no.2 sick of it collecting dust!
Well got sorted out with an engine , some of ye may recognize this car was a good bonus being able to drive it up the road 5 mins before stripping it,
3818
Got it up to MDT where stiv got it sorted before we headed to wcp where stiv was going to finish off the mapping.
Here is a vid the camera work is terrible but it sounds pretty good. The torque is going to be epic cant wait to get out and drive it noe its been a long year !
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OYi3wQvBNg
fuck that sounds good!! im being lazy here and not looking back, what sort of exhaust is on it?
its just two standard manifolds into downpipes there chopped then and joined into one 3 inch just passed the gear stick lets say and just a backbox after that, id say well try stick on a box with baffles or something quieten it a bit
New wheels on.

Think they suit it was a bit of a gamble, got six of them in from the states yesterday.
that sir, is funky. get more pics!
I have a good few having issues with posting the url from photobucket it is telling me the file is too large never had that issue before! Will try get more up later
hmm thats odd. clicking the little image yoke above text box, itl bring up yoke, unclick the 'from remote location' thing and bang in your img code

Aha nice one I wasn't unclicking the little box under the url window!
Wheels are 17x10.5 et20

Think the last two photos are before we adjusted ride heights and stuck spacers on the back
And one of the graph torque is pretty savage think @ approx 1000rpm its over 200!! and as you can see stays up there for the whole rev range that combined with a weight of just over 1000 and nearly 50/50 balance should make this little car a hell of a lot of fun!

Should be pretty fun to drive!
Good going! Plan on doing IDC or anything in it?
I doubt I'll be doing idc wouldn't have the talent nor the money unfortunately, I'll just try and knock a bit of craic out of it for the year ,
What make are the wheels, very nice dude !
Thanks, there a ford mustang cobra rep with bigger dish

Think I may resurrect this thread with some interesting updates hopefully, itbs and sil80 conversion colour change and a fire all to follow.

Lookin forward to hearing dis Monday pal. Who is doin ure mapping??
Looks cool, love the wheels.
Nice build some nice work gone into it
Cheers lads, stiv is sorting mapping on wcp rollers!
A few shots my buddy Sean Murphy took before she saw track!

So to jump forward a bit decided I wanted the car to be even more different , so an impulse purchase online late one night saw a box of itbs land to the door which in turn meant getting injectors and while I was at it got lightened flywheel and decent clutch
Pic of throttle bodies going on thanks again to Colm Murray really awkward job which he had to modify basically everything to make them fit

sweet build man , keep up the good work ;)
Nice!! What sort of figures are you expecting with a map ? Are you going doing IDC?
Lost a small bit of power but gained some torque had issues with spark and or injectors response is pretty impressive but in the new year I might go back to original injectors and remap , no IDC for me next year be happy if I can get a few track days in!
Decided to change the kit and repaint last week picked up some ps13 bits for the front.

Awesome, brilliant colour too.
Unreal!
Love the new colour. PS13 front always wins for me!
Wheels are really nice too, looking forward to seeing more of this.
Shame man, would like to see this thing out in IDC!
I'd like to do a round or two alright , well see,
Got another bit done today starting to come together and liking the ps front and murrys custom headlights ha!

Loving them wheels, are you doing the next justjap drift day?
Way nicer color keep up the good work
Don't think I'll be ready for the justjap day unfortunately , not running on all cylinders at low revs need to get it sorted , the colour was a random pick in the motorfactors happy enough with the results
Small update on this car still running poorly so will be changing injectors back to originals to see if that will help somewhat, progress is slow trying to buy a house hard to keep sinking money into it! Hopefully it wont take much more to get it right and I can start enjoying it again!
Got a murano rocker cover in from the states has a shorter oil filler neck and has meant I can try out the straight trumpets need to seriously modify the oil filler cap tho as there is little to no room for it!

Looks sweet danny, whats the advantages of the straight trumpets?if u get ur house sorted il do some plumbing worj in exchange for a respray, the car looks well!
Cheers lads, Seanie I'm no expert but the length/profile of the trumpets effects your torque curve ie. shorter trumpets more torque lower in the rev range or vice versa I'm not sure, it just means for me I can balance them with a carb vacuum gauge and it also sounds a bit better will just have to drive it to find out. I'll respray in exchange for plumbing no hassle at all lad be the right job!
