well guys got my 180sx preety stock standard apart from cold airintake 3" exhuat from cat back hasnt been boosted yet etc

now i wanted to ask when i bought the car it feelt good first second gear felt like it pulled hard when boost =)

but after a week or so it didnt feel as it if it was pulling as hard on second gear didnt have the pull when hitting boost =)

do you guys think there is somthing wrong? am i getting used to the power or is it becoz i installed my system sub amp etc and more weight it still feels good on all gear just doosnt have as much of that pull on second gear

next

i will be ugrading my syspension to tien coilovers with maybe some sway bars =)

and putting in my front bar =)

iam allowing about 2500 k for all this =)

and then i got a k to spend =)

what do you guys recon i spend it on mods =) car hasnt been boosted yet. i dont want to mod it up straght away but just want to look at my options and take things slow

i was also planning on putting on a boost guage

but i found these Din slots that for 3 preety sure they are 46mm guages i wouldnt mind putting 3 in there one boost =) and another 2 that will be good to have

any one know where i can get these 46mm guages and from where also what other guages should i put in for my benifit no rice =)

apart from that what do you guys reconmend me doing =) like i said i want my car to be reliable but i wouldnt mind some good mods =)

id rather do things right with moding and be sensible =)

let me know what ya think Cheers +)

It's cool to post on here, I think most people are general Nissan performance enthusiasts anyhow? I was gonna buy a Skyline, but ended up with a 200 but still post on here.

Maybe you're just getting used to the power now? Anyway, sounds like a nice ride, post some pics if you have any.

Cheers

If it were me I'd spend the rest of the cash finishing off the exhaust...

- 3" dump pipe

- 3" front

- 3" hi-flow cat.

If u want to keep standard boost for a while, then this will be the bottle neck you should take of first.

$1K should be more than enough, it should cost you around the $500 - $600 mark.

Then go get yourself a decent panel filter (~$100 new)

Then a boost guage

And finally, boost it up a little.

That will keep you smiling for a few weeks.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
