RMC kouki 180sx

[rmc]

Well after lots of looking I finally got the car I was after, it had two previous Irish owners the first imported the car himself , pretty sure he is on here, did a few track days and then sold it to his sister, after a few years. She used it as her daily driver until she parked it up for a year or two until I managed to get it of her!!

So I'm happy with knowing its past history .

Needs a bit of a tidy up dented wings and the bumper needs a painting, which I'm getting around to slowly, very slowly, have the car two months now!!!

Few pics when I got it home







Nice few bits on it to get me started so happy enough with the spec for now;
Hks intake
Trust front mount
Trust turbo back exhaust
Decat
Nismo gts diff
Blitz clutch
Yashimo factory radiator
Tein coilovers
Advan tri spokes
Type x kit
Aero mirrors
Blitz oil temp gauge
Blitz water temp gauge
Nismo gear knob
Bride drivers seat















The wheels are actually growing on me, with a good refurb and keeping the standard type x kit I think the will actually suit it!!

First on the list is to get it tidied up as it was carting a few battle scars from been daily drven on shit roads, I reckon it will be pretty mine once I get it back together as the quarters, doors and roof are mint along withe interior being very clean.

Here's a few pics of the shitty wings and getting it ripped and prep'd for paint,





Trial fit of the second hand wings





With wings off and after seeing a good few cars I looked at starting to suffer from the rust worm I set about cleaning and sealing the wheel wells and chassis legs up front





Another few pic from sorting a leak in around the lights and from when my buddy Joey dropped out to give us a hand!!

Hopefully gonna tackle changing the turbo gaskets in the coming weeks, gonna leave fitting the freshly painted wing until I'm finished horseing out the turbo, incaae I scratch them!

Got all my gaskets from Nissan and got braided lines for the turbo last week so all I need now is some spare time!!!

I'll be updating as I go hopefully and fishing for tips as I go!!!

Yeah joeys 180 is savage, crazy spec on it , full on road legal track/drift monster, never seen a car with so many braces on it, real nice road presence to with the kit and colour!!

So finally managed to get a bit of time to go at the car today, no work booked in so happy days!!

Started at 9 this morning and only finished and hour ago!!!

But got loads done, turbo gaskets sorted , braided lines, manifold gasket, oil and filter plus some fresh oil and a fresh drop of coolant/ antifrezee!!



Went the hard way about getting this out but needs must when it comes to rusty ass nuts and bolts!!

Also got the cat fitted for the nct with some new gaskets there too, broke the sensor on the decat, but I presume its only a high temp sensor??

With all the donkey work under the Bonnet sorted I could finally put it back together!!!!











Now nct it and tidy up the wheels!!!
