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.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
