    Default My 1uz 180 build

    Hey Guys,
    So after joining up here early this year i decided i wanted an s body, decided to build instead of buying, would give me an oppertunity to learn aswell, plus i like rootin and hardship.

    Firstly i want to thank all the lads that have helped me out, given me advice, sent me in the right direction, sold me parts etc, theres one lad in particular thats giving me countless freebies (he knows who he his) so a big thank you to everyone that has contributed. Ive met alot of very sound lads wile gathering bits and bobs. Also a big thanks to my other half for having the patience to put up with me been broke the whole time due to this.

    Anyway i picked up this 200sx as a base, it was completely standard, had a ca engine with the head gasket gone.




    I planned on doing an sr conversion on it and building it upto spec, but then this shell came up for sale and i couldnt resist, it was also cleaner than mine so i picked it up and sold on the 200sx shell. Its been sitting up a wile in the pictures while i collected bits and pieces for it.


    Spec List:
    vvt blacktop engine with apexi 1.1mm head gasket
    t28bb turbo
    HKS font mount
    Exeedy stage1 paddle clutch
    Blitz Blow off valve
    Hardrace engine and gearbox mounts
    Polybushed rear subframe
    50mm rear quarters
    Vertex rear bumper
    Kouki spoiler
    50mm 180sx front quarters
    Uras front bumper for pop up lights
    Uras side skirts
    180 vented carbon fibre bonnet
    (not selling sil80 front so dont ask)
    s14 5 stud conversion
    braided brake lines all round
    front cooling panel
    60mm defi guages
    deep dish steering wheel
    2xbrand new fixed back toora bucket seats fia in date
    Hydro handbrake
    Walbro fuel pump
    Front and rear strut braces
    Oil cooler
    S14 front lower arms
    adjustable camber arms on rear

    Think thats it for now, i actually cant remember but il update it as i go along.

    So picked up a s14a blacktop vvt engine of danny86 on here, set about fitting it using these provided by barrys msport


    Got a loom of Seamie at preimer performance cars and had to mate it to a 180 plug.


    Engine in with extra wiring in the loom.

    Have no pwer(esb) in the car yet as im waiting on a gearbox loom to come from the 180sxbreaker.

    Ran the loom down the inside of the engine bay from under the drivers wing.



    Thats all for now i think, will post more when i get more done.
    All suggestions and comments welcome.

    Anyway started work at this last week, going to try and have it finished for next spring/summer.

    Anyway burning out the subframe bushes, pictures of me phone so it aint great.


    Subframe primed.


    Sprayed up and polybushed.


    Put the subframe back together

    Had this 5 Stud Conversion that i picked up of Darragh.


    I intend on putting all adjustable arms on it, hence the reason for not spraying some of the arms.
