Howdy

This is the life and times of my 180sx - hope you like

I always wanted a 180sx - think i seen a pic of one drifting about 10 years ago when i was in my teens and that was it, popup lights and sideways turbo action was enough to have me hooked for life

I spent an INSANE amount of time trying to find a good clean standard example - ended up finding this one back in the Spring of 2010 - was imported in 08 and was put straight into a garage and covered up

Started out a basic bog standard zenki 94 reg 180sx - SR20DET - was clean as hell, straight and had zero rust. was everything i wanted. never had an accident or painted - just as is from the factory

This is it when i went and bought it

This is it when i first got it home and put on a bumper that came with it

I didnt really know in my head where I wanted to go with it but it wasnt long until it was in castlefinn and Eglington getting some side ways action

First two things i bought as soon as i got it

Cusco 2way diff

Cusco dash dodger bolt in cage

After a few drift Days the old Bride was fucked - was an old ass uncomfortable seat anyway

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu58/matocastor/S7002095.jpg

So i splashed out and got this

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu58/matocastor/S7002094.jpg



The car was class and i loved the standard look……..

……….But i loved the ignorant in your face look a wee bit more :D

Went and bought these

SSR PROFESSOR SP1's

Fronts are 17 x 9jj +11
Rears are 18 x 10jj +11

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u230/PeterTistaken/my%20cefiro/SP_A0399.jpg


They didnt fit at first but with a "awh theyll fit" attitude i rolled the arches out a rediculous amount and got them wedged in

Car was getting some battle scars with a few of the drift days but the amount of fun i had in it it was completely worth it

Back then it was just a car for drifting - it took everything i threw at it - i cant describe how much of a smile it put on my face and it never really gave any bother - keep servicing it and it was good to go - drive down to Eglington - drift all day - drive it home (sometimes on bald tires :D )

I bought the SSR's in January and in fairness they needed a hell of a refurb, the dishes were very very dead and the paint was falling off everywhere

So this is what they looked like before hand when i got them

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u230/PeterTistaken/060c5d63.jpg

I got them off the car and left them up to Marty Coyle (martycturbo) to refurb.

I took as much time off work as i can to go up and lend a hand

Marty got them split and sent the centres away to be sandblasted

I went at the dishes with scotch bright and ended up taking a lot of the ground in dirt off them

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu58/matocastor/DSCF0230.jpg




At this point i let Marty do his magic

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu58/matocastor/DSCF0238.jpg

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu58/matocastor/DSCF0237.jpg

I sat back with a cigarette and bottle of boost and took in the scenery :D

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu58/matocastor/DSCF0236.jpg

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu58/matocastor/DSCF0235.jpg


So after many many hours this is how the dishes ended up

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu58/matocastor/DSCF0234.jpg

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu58/matocastor/DSCF0240.jpg


I was unreal happy with the dishes but i couldnt believe my eyes when he got them painted, the colour was perfect and was exactly what i was after. These are the finished article with the studs all shined up and the wheels screwed back together :D

As you can see, a driftday later and the poor old bumper that stood me in good steed was completely wanked

SO

This must be the start of 2013 id say

It was about this time that i had my fun in it - i was looking online to find another clean one for the road but the prices got rediculous

I spent a wee while deciding do i keep this one as a drift car or do i build it back up for the road

From here on youll see which road i went with it

Got myself a garage organised at my grans gaff and i went to town stripping her down

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu58/matocastor/IMG_0791_zpsadc0a3ff.jpg

By no means am i a mechanic but i just wanted to do as much as i could as i couldnt let another man do it for me - I wanted this to be something that i did myself so i knew every nut and bolt on it

https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xft1/v/t1.0-9/10987485_10152754323146415_3260225819600582954_n.j pg?oh=c7f18abd36e4f628e9ed9e79419f18fd&oe=57942CB4

Body was still nice and clean underneath and hadnt been attacked by the dreaded rust yet

Gutted the interior outa her

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 - a good service and change of filters helped a lot also

This is before it was fitted, she was a bit gutless in fairness but a lot better now - second gear drifting on the dry with the big 18x9.5s on the back is no bother

I also 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

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

Heres some of the cars - Hope you like :)

So this takes me right up until the present - November 2014

New Diffuser arrived - having Paul at Pro-Fit Kits now fully rework the diffuser to make it look as close to an OE piece as possible - will cut a part of the rear bumper so it sits in further under the car, diffuser will be fully cut apart also and made smaller so it doesnt sit as low. going to have a few canards moulded also to sit at either end. Paul is also making up side steps that will attach in under the side skirts, he is also making me up a front undertry that will sit out from the front splitter with origin canards at either side.

few pics of the rear diffuser just sitting up against the car to show a rough idea what it will be like

https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/10731192_10152376277446415_7779284027018149222_n.j pg?oh=352d8ced4a36e1f4d4bda2b81a11f68d&oe=5781E746

Once Paul has got through with all his work the car will be going in for another full paint job to freshen her up, going the same colour again - fibreglass panels moved about a bit over the course of the year so theres a few spiderswebs here and there that need sorting out

wheels will be going Volk Bronze so i bought new genuine Rays Volk stickers for them

https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xla1/v/t1.0-9/10270614_10152376277656415_18692083278505933_n.jpg ?oh=a4260f91bcb9d8c1e4247e44c109f34e&oe=5777EE62

I'd say wat I lost in the fan crowing I gained with the bigger alloy rad - she never overheated since - might put the shrowd back on to add to the cooling :D

Nah she's been tip top and she gets a fair good roasting every weekend :)

Thanks for that man - never thought of myself as a perfectionist but I do think there's only one way to do something

I always had an idea of what I wanted to end up with so I went n built it - was never a fan of buyin and sellin away at loads of cars - ye never have pride in them - buy the one ya want n make it what you want it to be

i love them, i honestly cannot wait to get them put in but im a long way off havin it back on the road yet. im aiming to have it finished by donegal rally weekend

i was down recently to see some of the work pro-fit kits is doing with it and im at a loss for words - the quality of stuff hes doin is unmatched. i really cant wait to get some pics of the diffusers and canards and stuff he made up for me, everything is 100% custom one off. once hes finished its straight off to paint again

Been aaages since I was on this but now we're coming back into the summer it was time to do a bit of work on the car again

Left it up to Paul at ProFit kits to make custom canards and splitters for the front and sides to tie in with the diffuser on the rear, needless to say his work is second to none

Teaser pic to show what we're doing

So just getting things finished up down at Pro-Fit kits

As ever Paul took what was in my head and just made it 10 times better

i had a few ideas that i brought to him and we talked through how to do a few things

firstly was obviously the front splitter that would bolt on under the standard kouki splitter - he made this all as one piece and it works lovely with the bumper and splitter

https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/11062016_10152674341091415_9110698742031922408_n.j pg?oh=569a2423d3a04b532a722cdf8da27df2&oe=578EB52C


To follow on from this i also wanted to have sideskirt extensions made up to sit under the chuki sideskirts that would run on from the front splitter

https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/11127497_10152674340396415_51381182405508061_n.jpg ?oh=36c2d8c350cfc36a6ebf25a9c0083d12&oe=579864D5

https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/11102611_10152674340521415_3775300726385748551_n.j pg?oh=35a1d824f77f1d4b652ab43037f3c322&oe=5780487D



Another idea i had was to insert a piece in the vented wings that would have a badge counter sunk into them - something to give it a bit of a modern touch - you can see them in the pics above and below is a pic of some genuine NISMO badges set in

https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfa1/v/t1.0-9/1962622_10152674340226415_3380513495385274871_n.jp g?oh=5237d4036767cb95edcaa24cb6cc717b&oe=578A51CA



For the rear i got rid of the kouki spats and i bought a full 1 piece bumper add-on that will have the diffuser built into it

https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/10425173_10152674339571415_4923175794711792461_n.j pg?oh=e3376a4b07ee83311c5f465a4ff011e4&oe=578C3FA9


This stuff has just been taken all back off and has been sent to be finished and painted in a textured plastic paint so that it looks as OEM as possible

The rest of the car has been left down to have the body painted Midnight Purple again and the splitter kit will be fitted once its all done :)

All C+C welcome as id like to see what everyone thinks as not many 180s have custom splitters made

Wow that is epic �� front splitter makes it, on the contrary to the above i like the bronze on the wheels better than the white, not a fan of white wheels whatsoever but every man has their own taste.

thanks lads, yeah im getting the diffuser tonight, the splitter, sideskirts wing addons and rear diffuser stuff was made by Pro-Fit kits up here in donegal, he makes a fair few panels for nissans and stuff - you should defo check him out on facebook, i honestly honestly cannot recommend him enough for stuff like this, he is the best out there 110% by a country mile, iv never ever seen quality like it in fibreglass. magic aero stuff is complete amature hour compared to Pauls work and im as fussy as they come when it comes to men making stuff for my car

this is a link to his facebook - https://www.facebook.com/pages/Pro-Fit-Kits/795000300539739?fref=ts

i think the wheels needed to go bronze to get the look im after - i want the car to be mean as fuck looking, kind of mad max / evil / track monster looking but i still want it built like a factory car - i dont want the kit to be hanging on her, everything has to be tight and the car has to feel like a new car to drive. its my take on what the old 90s japanese tuner shops would have put out.


Just want to give a massive thank you also to Martin Coyle - Martycturbo - i have no words to describe how much this man made this car what it is, not only the paintjob, hes just a wealth of knowledge when it comes to 180sx and he came up with so many of the cool new wee ideas that you can see on the car this time round - some that i will show in the next update :)

This is sick.

What diffuser is that ?

Dori88
21-08-15, 09:15
suppose i may keep this all together

My car changes more than my clothes - a few detailed pictures of the latest Rendition

I really want to say a massive thanks to Martin Coyle who did the paint and Paul Green at Profit kits for making up the custom lip kit and difusers

Any lines you see in the paint work is a reflection of the badly painted walls either side or the telegraph line over head lol

I could not be happier with the paint - looks constantly wet and slick - excellent job

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu58/matocastor/20150621_192809_zpspo1yy5cy.jpg (http://s633.photobucket.com/user/matocastor/media/20150621_192809_zpspo1yy5cy.jpg.html)

Custom front lip made up by Paul at Profit kits to match the lines of the front Kouki splitter - Canards at either side are also removable as they are screwed into countersunk threaded holes that sit flush in the bumper

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu58/matocastor/20150621_192906_zpsnvdfcgux.jpg (http://s633.photobucket.com/user/matocastor/media/20150621_192906_zpsnvdfcgux.jpg.html)


The above splitter kit was painted in a plastic based paint to give it an OEM factory look which i think breaks up the car a bit. Also painted the standard NISSAN badge matte black to tie it into the mean evil agressive look i was going for.


Removed the tray under the DMAX bonnet to let more heat out and its nice looking in and seeing some of the Mechanicals

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu58/matocastor/20150621_193009_zpskgytlkix.jpg (http://s633.photobucket.com/user/matocastor/media/20150621_193009_zpskgytlkix.jpg.html)


The fins at the top of the DMAX also got the same Plastic paint treatment as the splitters

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu58/matocastor/20150621_194434_zpsv47sa2l2.jpg (http://s633.photobucket.com/user/matocastor/media/20150621_194434_zpsv47sa2l2.jpg.html)

The TE37s were refurbished from white to a pretty damn close bronze to the real thing. Genuine stickers were put on then to finish them off. These wheels look a lot darker in the metal than i can get on the pictures for some reason. Also had Paul make up little pieces to put into the wings and then counter sink some Genuine NISMO badges into them - Wee shout to the new GT86 that has the badges in the wings - just a wee idea to modernise the look of the car a little bit

Digi Clocks also pretty damn cool - these do tend to flicker from time to time because of a loose wire but i hate taking them out so il live with it for a while longer yet

Some with the lights up - the Blue tinted RAYBRIGS look pretty damn cool along with the dark paint

Car also recieved 480cc spec R injectors, z32 AFM and a Z32 fuel filter


It was then taken down to Stiv at MD Tuning and was mapped on a nistune

On a standard t25 turbo the car made 248bhp with 307 torque at 1.2 bar

The actuator on the t25 was shot so as soon as the car hit 1.2bar it fell off to about 0.8/0.9 bar

i bought a HKS adjustable actuator since - i could imagine it being over the 250bhp now that the car holds the 1.2 bar through the revs

I kno 248bhp doesnt sound impressive but this car just needs to be driven to be believed - im over the moon with it as is at the minute - soo much response, its just a seriously fun car to drive - you can really push it and you have boost there as soon as you touch the pedal.

i just want to give a massive thanks to Petko for everything he did, an absolute Gent and his work is TOP QUALITY and i am rediculously fussy about who i let near my car

Also a big shout out to STIV who did an amazing job mapping the car for how i wanted it to drive

Next year i do plan on upgrading the turbo but for right now im over the moon

cheers man :) yeah the kouki kit is lovely, theres so many nice kits out there for them that its a real pain in the ass to decide which one to go for but its hard to say no to OEM plastic - just fits so well
