i thought there was a 200 in the 8 - 9 second bracket?

the magazines that is.

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

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
