Hay guys i bought my car and its been a month or so should be on the boat hehe =)

its a 180sx 97 model and yesterday i was looking at the pic and i have no idea what some of the things in there are ?

on the bottom passanger corner it looks like the the cover is off and might have after market ecu

the others have round circles around them any ideas?? =)

appreicate all your help =)

Hmmm...to me, showing through the steering wheel is some sort of Trust Greddy Boost Controller (possibly Profec B)... on the other side it looks more like a turbo timer.

Possible aftermarket ECU yeah, but just because the cover is off doesn't mean too much. Just could be something like the turbo timer or other device attached to it.

Going on the Razo sticker and the pedals they are aftermarket Razo pedals too.

Good to see everybody can agree on what the stuff is :) Do we win a prize?

Here is an image of a Profec-B (which is number 3 below the dash). Looks remarkably similar to mine i just scanned??

hahah awsome =) so i got my moneys worth then =)

now i wanted to ask ? will that apexi power fc ... will it be in english or jap and if so? can it still be tuned here? =)

also is it worth getting rid of the profec B boost controler and putting in an avcr =)

ok guys so i know now

that

1. is ECU Apexi Power FC

2. ???

3 Profec B boost controler

4. boost guage =)

5 ???

also wanted to ask ? do you think i will get any hassles with that boost guage there?

wont stop me from seeing things on the rd =)

and if i took some things off the dash and there are holes do you guys know if its possible to repair the holes fix em etc =)?

appreciate all your help guyes thanks =)

the prize some free porn movies hahaha =)

omg - so you have no idea what all that stuff in yur car does?

didn't it come with listed mods?

but yeh, far out - that roll cage is nuts...

and the boost controller, guage, aftermarket ECU are all really damn handy to have already done for ya...

who'd u import with?

is the stereo area fully empty? does it even have the factory mounting cradle inside? coz mine didn't and took me absolutely ages to source the part so i could mount my headunit into.

my guess at 2 is a turbo timer of some sort although doesn't look familiar, seems the only damn mod missing inside yur car... lol.

got any more pics?

thanks man =0

yea rest of the pics are at

PICS ARE HEREE!!!!

hehe

its a 97 180sx type x mods include suspension exhuast sway bars intercooler so far damn i have already bought my stero so hopefully they are in there if not? i might be in the shits hahah =)

now that i found out what all those damn mods are iam getting scared hope the engine is ok hehehe =)

let me know what ya think thanks for all the help =)

i got it off craig from j - spec imports (really reconmend him) it was such a bargin i couldnt belive so i tock my chances and bought it =)

Looks like the front end will need a respray... which could cost a couple of grand, but otherwise if u got a good deal for it great. I wouldn't worry about the mods too much - the only concern would be whether it has done track work or not.

When I ordered my car I only got the standard Japanese inspection sheet.

It was only when I got it here and I had a few mates go over it did I get the full extent of the modifications that went into the car.

Otherwise I would have baulked at the HKS suspension :D

Hmmm... doesn't my butt hurt...

T.

well as for the front i will see how bad it is when it gets here if it is ill just get a new front bar i like and get it spraied iam good friends with some good panel beaters so they said about 1500 for the hole car sprayed which is good =)

as for track work iam not sure it has dont it or not

good thing is has all original seats etc no race seats and is comming with some service books =)

as for the roll cage

i live in vic and they are legal depending on how they are bolted onto the car etc

but if worst comes to worst i might have to get it taken out the front par but if i can ill keep it =)

if it requres a lil work then ill proberly take to an enginer to get it approved if its a big hassle then ill proberly take it out =)

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
