and he said 180sx, not 200sx.

LOL so this isnt the fastest 180, it may be the fastest DR20 powered 180.

Bobby, how do u know anything else out there aint faster? Does ANDRA have a site or something u can go to with a list of all the records for each class?

there r quite a few 180's in japan running decent 9 sec times with even the old ca18

maybe something can be learnt off them? :no:

ca18 with 12,000 rpm and t88 34ghk turbo running a race 3speed auto with slicks is sure to get a fast time no matter wat :D

it was 10.4@132mph. Nothing beat that camaro tho! HAHA and it was an impressive save when the red car almost smacked into the wall! According to fullBOOST it is the fastest 180SX in australia. And the car is tuned by Duane Evans, funnily enough, from High End. Once again, well done to Benny, Duane, and the rest of the High End boys.

Either way you look at it, it's a fast car.

Is that benny's old black & white drift machine?

black and white? dunno about that, but i know its pink now. Its the 2nd of the drift cars. I hear it will become a drag car while the other gets a rebuild. But dont quote me on that.

Hey bobby, yes i was so happy to see the short wheel based patrol with wheelie bars come on! How did the rajab cars go in the end? i only saw their first runs with both cars. Did you like the Addams Family car? Talk about not being aerodynamic! haha

WLDCRD, im pretty sure the pink pussy used to be white, unless they have 2 180s!?!?.

Also didnt u have a silver 33(or am i thinking of som1 else?)? Sell it for a 32 GTR? Noice!!

(sorry to get off topic)

dont know what colour this pink pussy originally was, but the 1st one was white with a sun roof. That was smashed at a drift comp. That was once pink as well. So, yes there are 2 180's.

And no, this is the first turbo car i have owned from a V8. Its always been a 32 gtr. :P

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
