I see you like purple cars

Haha actually I don't, I like white cars. The 180SX was a bit of an unicorn, came in that stupid 80s blue, so old man and I sent it with GT-R LP2 Midnight Purple. Current R33 shitbox was always supposed to be a track car so never got any love, however that might change ?

Stay tuned and browse my shop:

Because you want to travel back in time when the car scene was sick and having 200kW was bawse as fuark ?

But I have the same urge after seeing my old car photos. Imagine a 180SX Type-X with a RB swap and a Samsonas.

I dont want to go that extreme, just a clean one with factory body work and an sr20 with the normal bolt ons 

Now that will be a unicorn.

I went looking for a clean unmolested S chassis and the only clean low km ones were $30k.

Most of them look bent, abused, neglected or modified to within a inch of their life.

There was one red S15 which was like new for $30k, which by the way, is what I should have got instead of the 86.

Edit: https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2001-Nissan-200SX-Spec-S-S15-Manual/SSE-AD-6384247/ this looks nice, I believe this exact car, or one blinding close, minus mods, was for sale for $30k  5 years ago.

Love yellow S15s but I have a soft spot for the s13 particularly the Silvia 

Gives boners... that's why.

Well 180SX still is a S13 too haha.. would love another SKY180 (those plates aren't taken at the moment.... hmmmm).

 

Shameless plug ?

1st time I've driven this shit box in 3 months, door has been attached to the car for about 2 months.

Look at the dents from hail, still would prefer a nice modern BMW.

Looks good. What's it like?

Smooth, kind of reminds me of a Yamakazi 12 but much smoother. 

This is why the car doesn't progress anywhere lol.

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
