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....

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.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
