new ride

[Nozila]

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.

Got any pics??

Or we waving to all the sil80's around!

Congrats on the new ride.

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.

SR20 Power man How does she handle? I bet the ride quality however isnt in the same league as the skylines..

[Nozila]

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.

Maxx: Yes you are right in that it vibrates alot compared to the rb's. I assume the black top sr20's in the s15's vibrate alot as well judging from you opinion or is it te opposite ie. smooth.

good work, I love my little 180 - they have more torque because the stroke is longer.

fun cars to drive, like go carts on steriods from the drivers seat

[Bl4cK32]

well if ya love the torque of the sr....your gunna need a ride in the rb30 then Steve And it does make the car vibrate a little more too R32 is a cart....unlike the r33 boat

[Cubes]

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.

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

[Steve]

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.

[Bl4cK32]

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

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

good luck on the new car Nozila btw

[Cubes]

170rwkw steve.

That should see you an easy low 13 in the sil180?

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.

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.

After my holiday in sydney Adelaide local roads appear quite good.

As do Adelaides foot paths etc. I stayed in Darling Harbour area. They still have the big old gutters and wood elec. line stoby's down there.

[Bl4cK32]

yer well i suppose all roads feel good when your car is jacked up to the std height eh Joel?

[hippy]

when did u get this car?? when did u get this money man?? LOL ... can i have ur series2 then?? i only have a charade now ... why'd u go with a sil80?? i think the 180 looks great ... and silvia's look crappy , s13's anyways ...

[Nozila]

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.

[Cubes]

lol.. Yer Darren. Nice and smooth.

Mine at the moment feels smoother than the inlaws 318is. lol
