btw....what is still to be done??? when and where to debut it? I'm sure you know getting it to the first day is really only the first step, still lots of work getting it to handle well, will be a very tidy runner once it is sorted

looks rubbish. try harder next time

LMFAO !!!!

My update: The FD is still in a million bits, but hopefully on the track post-Targa; on the bright side I sold the Evo III and its doing Targa in a few weeks with new owner... on the dark side I bought yet another FD and this one is now in two million bits... may see the track post-Targa 2020 !!

To reply to you duncan, the new intake has to be built and the radiator has to be dropped three inches.

Also i have been waiting for the new balancer and cam gears from the USA

this is the 180SX wit the sledgehammer rear gaurd flares done! Its now as near to finished as its ever been. If anyone has some Type X bumper extensions for the front gaurds that would be tops!

Lakeside tomorrow :blink:

going to run the bn sport kits for drift events (suits the style lol) but will run my nismo bar on time-attack. Will have to make some ducts on the bn bar as the open sections are HUGE! but try some ducts to the brakes

Took the car to the track few weeks ago, did a 59.0 seconds on the short track at Barbagello, was a very interesting drive, running my old tune. was only using the wastegate spring so running 16psi and running the old tune which was 18psi on a 2835pros very very laggy, full boost at 4000rpm and every gear change there was lag, Also my endless pads started to die after the 1st few runs so had to take it easy on the brakes.

However the car was awesome the next day for the drift prac. amazing at the amount of speed i can carry sliding :D

Still got along way to go regarding suspension setup.... Finding it bit hard to get any info in regarding base setup so me and my mate (who is a ferrari mech) have just been playing around with things so far we have gone with 38psi f/r, dampers +8 and rebound +10 front , dampers and rebound +10 rear (from the softest setting). I was happy with this car was very balance good grip. Will need to change things around for drift as the front end is alittle to grippy and pulls the front end into the apex too much.

but overall really happy with how things are going :happy: its great to be able to get back on the track after being away from it for 3 years

fark me you had some pace today, was great to watch.

My shitter at carnell the other week. I was going to go to lakeside but blew it up at QR yesterday.

Maybe we should start a black 180 car club :D

hell yeah, the black 180's were out in force yesterday! shame yours didn't make it. It looks good - the CA front bars are so much tougher (and more practical) than the SR front bar. I have a good stock 110,000km SR20DET blacktop in the shed if you're looking for an engine?

Ahhhhh Harry, I was looking for an SR20 a few weeks back! Pity I didn't know :D

I was trying something new......... Air cooled RB25, didn't work out for me ;)

Massive split in heater hose/turbo water line and cooked the engine bad.

exact same way I killed my last motor

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
