Hey guys,

I have a new ride that i will be cruising in. Yes its still a nissan, but it aint a skyline. instead its a sr20 powered 180sx, sil80 actually. Its in resonable condition - a bit of mix match colours. So if ya see it around give me a wave aight.

Here are its mods -

ASE Big Front mount Cooler

OS GIKEN Super Single Plate Clutch

s14 gear box

HKS super dragger exhaust

AVO bov

king springs

gab rear adj shocks

walbro fuel pump

gab front and rear swaybars

triple core drift radiator

Its makes 170rwkw. Yesterday, i took it out for a little bit of a squirt against the 33 and brothers 32 and i cained them both. Now im a skyline lover but damn this car was an animal compared to the lines. I couldnt believe it so we want a few more times and i still came out on top.

compared to my 33 and brothers 32 it handles very differently and frightening at times. I can feel every bump in the road, probarbly due to its suspention set up. When it was purchased i knew it was obviously set up for drifting. Still i cant get enough of driving it and the lines have been garaged since. On a side note though, i noticed that the str20 has much more toque than the rb20 which was quite surprising.

the Sr20 has nice toque down low but i rekon it is a very rough engine, a lot of virbration compare to RB. Which is not nice for criuse.

The ol SR20 is good for the street.

Much more mid range but they don't have the top end scream like the RB's.

Not that thats a bad thing. I get sick of the rb20t's top end scream to get anywhere. :P

We will have to see how it pulls up against Darrens and I's stocker R32's. :)

Yeah, the 32s are a bit better out of the box handling wise, but the 33 can be made to handle, just suppose it comes down to whether or not you want a classy ride or not:p

That vibration Darren is probably increased by the mission mount, I just fitted one, and it makes a noticeable difference in cabin.

I would love to come for a ride when she is all up and run in - yours and Joels lil stocker 32s are very phat.

yer well...just gotta sort that bearing problem in the box, then shes all ready :) .....class and all :P

I do have new engine mounts and the mission mount, so id say it does have some part to play in it....

Turbo and manifold due in 1 week :) .....then it sits till i can afford to fit it :P

good luck on the new car Nozila btw :)

Pictures!

I will get some pics soon atm my gf's dad is the only person i know of who has a digital camera and getting it off him will take a while. :P

Do they still have street meets on wensdays at air as i would like to see how it goes too.

With regards to handling, it quite scary as you feel every bump/pot hole/sewer hole - basically any street in adelaie. Could this be due to the fronts having only king springs while the back has gab shocks or as a result of the sway bars and/or both these mods.

I had the car since last week hipster. I have added a few more mods to the line but because it hasnt been tuned ever since i owned it, the car eats alot of petrol - i think its running too rich and thus has remained in the garage. the sil80 was considerably cheap for the level of mods it had. you will see why i said considerably cheap when you see the paint work it has or when i post pics up - basically drift appearance.

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
