The Zero7Four 180sx Build - Tears, Gears and Beers (the shortened version)

I went to post in my old build thread and half the photos were missing so i did up this new thread for one of the american sites so im guna fire it up here and keep it altogether - MODS can go in and delete the old one tay fuck ;)

Enjoy

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

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...r/S7001964.jpg


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

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...r/S7001958.jpg


Cusco dash dodger bolt in cage

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...r/S7001957.jpg

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

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...r/S7002095.jpg

So i splashed out and got this

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...r/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/u...o/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

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...r/DSCF0078.jpg

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...r/DSCF0080.jpg

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...r/DSCF0073.jpg

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...r/DSCF0074.jpg

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...r/DSCF0072.jpg

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/u...n/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/u...r/DSCF0230.jpg




At this point i let Marty do his magic

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...r/DSCF0232.jpg

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...r/DSCF0238.jpg

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...r/DSCF0237.jpg

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

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...r/DSCF0236.jpg

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...r/DSCF0235.jpg


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

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...r/DSCF0234.jpg

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...r/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

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...r/DSCF0241.jpg

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...r/DSCF0242.jpg

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...r/DSCF0246.jpg

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...r/DSCF0247.jpg

I also got the cusco cage done the same as the wheels

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...r/DSCF0227.jpg

And if i can remember correctly i think this was us getting ready and going to the Port at easter in 2012

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...r/DSCF0273.jpg


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

https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...21&oe=57355CA8

https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...78&oe=573ACCC9


Ran with an origin Type 2 front bumper for a while before it was wrecked also doing some dori dori

https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...fc&oe=57407509

https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...91&oe=57036CF9

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/u...psadc0a3ff.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...fd&oe=57942CB4

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

Gutted the interior outa her

I Started with the long slow process of sourcing and buying the parts that i really wanted for it

I didnt want to cut corners so i spent lots of time sourcing the right stuff

These arrived after 8 weeks at sea from Japan and i got some Kumho Ecstas wrapped round them straight away

https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...7d&oe=5781E6DE

No point in getting RAYS TE37s if im not guna get some RAYS nuts to match :D

https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...a9&oe=57833C70


Also picked up some Aerocatches for the DMAX as i wouldnt trust a fibreglass bonet

https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...cb&oe=5792838E


The 14 bottom arms allow for a SHIT LOAD more camber

https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...73&oe=57962B88


The fronts all done n dusted

https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...49&oe=578224FA


The rears all done n dusted

https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...d1&oe=577A6C53

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

https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...0d&oe=577D2AF5


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

https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...34&oe=5796EEB1

https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...6f&oe=57792936

https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...94&oe=577C7BFD


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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBDx5hpmx00

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZ6V18ZEVWU

RAYS came up as new with a good clean

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 Now we are right up to date - Sunday May 4th 2014

The first round of IDC was on at Mondello last weekend so we took the cars down to it for a wee run

https://scontent-b-mad.xx.fbcdn.net/...31398535_o.jpg

So on friday night i took the Notion to fit the HUD

it was time to do this - TO A PERFECT UNCRACKED, UNMARKED DASH - i was putting it off as long as i could but it had to be done at some stage or another

Here goes ……..

https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...bb&oe=577A52D5

https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...02&oe=578504A8

https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...27&oe=578702E6


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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70zRo9nRodo

picked up some more RARE OPTIONAL EXTRA GOODNESS

optional extra sunroof delete for a 180sx

Came with Original Nissan bag

Very nice bit of kit - managed to get 2 of these so i have one for sale aswell :D

https://scontent-b-vie.xx.fbcdn.net/...98370891_o.jpg

Thought id throw up some pics of the stuff we have at the minute. We called ourselves Team Zero7Four- its the code for the area we live in. i know thats a bit "NWA" but hey, we were drunk when we decided it and when we sobered up we were too lazy to think of a new name so it stuck.

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

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

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 :)

I enjoy looking at your build tread, and the rest of your crew's cars. Your 180 is sweet. There are just so many stages it's being true, and money trowing at it.

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

Yeah this is one of my favourite 180s in the country.

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

doorcards are nuts!! cool build!!

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
