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:

Buy 2x sets of pads, get 15% off. I also have a new hook up with Kelford Cams too :)

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've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
