btw....what is still to be done??? when and where to debut it? I'm sure you know getting it to the first day is really only the first step, still lots of work getting it to handle well, will be a very tidy runner once it is sorted

looks rubbish. try harder next time

LMFAO !!!!

My update: The FD is still in a million bits, but hopefully on the track post-Targa; on the bright side I sold the Evo III and its doing Targa in a few weeks with new owner... on the dark side I bought yet another FD and this one is now in two million bits... may see the track post-Targa 2020 !!

To reply to you duncan, the new intake has to be built and the radiator has to be dropped three inches.

Also i have been waiting for the new balancer and cam gears from the USA

this is the 180SX wit the sledgehammer rear gaurd flares done! Its now as near to finished as its ever been. If anyone has some Type X bumper extensions for the front gaurds that would be tops!

Lakeside tomorrow :blink:

going to run the bn sport kits for drift events (suits the style lol) but will run my nismo bar on time-attack. Will have to make some ducts on the bn bar as the open sections are HUGE! but try some ducts to the brakes

Took the car to the track few weeks ago, did a 59.0 seconds on the short track at Barbagello, was a very interesting drive, running my old tune. was only using the wastegate spring so running 16psi and running the old tune which was 18psi on a 2835pros very very laggy, full boost at 4000rpm and every gear change there was lag, Also my endless pads started to die after the 1st few runs so had to take it easy on the brakes.

However the car was awesome the next day for the drift prac. amazing at the amount of speed i can carry sliding :D

Still got along way to go regarding suspension setup.... Finding it bit hard to get any info in regarding base setup so me and my mate (who is a ferrari mech) have just been playing around with things so far we have gone with 38psi f/r, dampers +8 and rebound +10 front , dampers and rebound +10 rear (from the softest setting). I was happy with this car was very balance good grip. Will need to change things around for drift as the front end is alittle to grippy and pulls the front end into the apex too much.

but overall really happy with how things are going :happy: its great to be able to get back on the track after being away from it for 3 years

fark me you had some pace today, was great to watch.

My shitter at carnell the other week. I was going to go to lakeside but blew it up at QR yesterday.

Maybe we should start a black 180 car club :D

hell yeah, the black 180's were out in force yesterday! shame yours didn't make it. It looks good - the CA front bars are so much tougher (and more practical) than the SR front bar. I have a good stock 110,000km SR20DET blacktop in the shed if you're looking for an engine?

Ahhhhh Harry, I was looking for an SR20 a few weeks back! Pity I didn't know :D

I was trying something new......... Air cooled RB25, didn't work out for me ;)

Massive split in heater hose/turbo water line and cooked the engine bad.

exact same way I killed my last motor

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
    • Twas your car many moons ago that gave me the idea!
