Hi everyone

Since i have have posted most of projects on here, its time to post another. Over the last 6 months I have managed to sell my other cars the R33 GTR is gone to fellow SAU member Spenda and the 350Z i sold to a local young fella. Now that i am debut free and have a even better paying job and we also have a drift track up here in Nth QLD now,i have decided to build a drift car which what i have always wanted, the R32 GTR is now pretty much complete we just take it out every now and then and try improve our times.

I picked up a early model 91 180SX which just had the basic bolts on's or so i thought, too my surprise it has a fully forged engine :). Now I don't usually mess around with my cars so this one will be no different. I want the car to look good whilst have a bulletproof engine/drivetrain. The car at the moment is nearly fully stripped and is ready to be stitch welded and just have to get a hold of rollcage and weld that in.

Here's a list of parts that i currently have and are on order:

Drivetrain:

where's teh supra build you were talking about?

This is my spare time piece and quiet project away from everyone else just me when i'm bored lol. The Supra is still on going waiting on a couple of things but is about 70% finished.

The engine will look pretty sexual when she's done, i am spraying it all Flat Black all over e.g all pumps, alternator, block, head, sump etc. I am gonna paint the Cam Cover Crackle Black and i will leave the plenum, turbo, intercooler, pulleys etc all polished alloy. Colour theme for car and engine bay is White, black and silver, i would like it to look as good or if not better than the R32 engine bay.

I want to look something like this in the end:

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
