180sx Vh45


Recommended Posts

been going through john unqiue autosports. vh45de's are mental does 226rwkw with only an aftermarket airfilter and exhaust, and allows me to do a 13.1 sec 1/4 mile. and even then I have to launch at only 1500 rpm or I get massive axle hopping.

update...

since my relocation to Queensland we (by we I mean GTRsean) achieved quite a bit:

R34 gtr Brembo brakes front and back which needed R33 gst-t hand brake cables

R32 Diff and axles

R34 grt wheels

Modified a nismo power brace to clear the VH45

and apparently 2nd place in the member championship thanks heaps eric, was very unexpected.

Looking good mate

With the new diff you should have better power down and you will now have stopping power with those new brakes.

I cannot believe how good the car looks with GTR rims.

yeah it's different, the old one was a standard viscous 4.11 hooked really differently, it's very immediate now. considering i used to drive it around with a tomei t-trax 2-way, but engineer wouldn't go near it with that diff still in it. lol forgot what real diffs feel like.

the wheels didn't fit a few years ago but since the tein super streets have gone in they clear the strut.

    • I can believe it if you're getting air into the pickup. Cavitation is tremendously destructive for pumps.
    • I think the pic in the first post is another car, and post 7 is OP's car with standard arms and swaybar swaybar swaybar. I can't tell what brand the silver coilovers are, and even if I could I don't know whether the spring rate is OK, if you can find a brand on the shocks and numbers on the springs that might help. Also, if you can measure the ride height from centre of your wheel to the guard that will help with advice too as handling suffers if ride height is too low
    • sadly, pics no work. that car must have spent a lot of time in a cryo bubble
    • In the first photo you posted, the colour of the control arms are the signature colour for Ikeya. Same for the swaybar, signature colour for Whiteline.  I like Hardrace, they also do hardened rubber bushes if your car is mainly a street car.  I like GKTech as well, but they use a lot of rose joints in their stuff so might not be the best choice for everyone.  The system might have been good back in its day, but it's a prehistoric system now. I suspect that most people have removed the HICAS as they want the car to do what they want to do, not what the car wants to do. From what I also understand, it isn't consistent in it's behaviour on track so it's hard to trust the car/know where its absolute limits are for track use.  Having said that, I think the HICAS eliminator kit was the first thing I installed when I bought my car. I don't personally have any experience with the HICAS system on a race track.  
    • Thanks for the info. Didn’t know I had aftermarket control arms already? Will talk to my garage. What brand would u recommend if I want to play around with my camber more? I would think my camber is around stock level right now or more negative now due to lowering with coilovers. I will be lower her again 1.5 cm to get some more.    also why does everyone like to remove the hicas system? Is it because most don’t work properly anymore or ppl just don’t like them. Mine is functioning as it should be right now.    thanks for the good info
