Show Me Your Racing Machines

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

[nismoman]

Looks sick! Well done in recreating the old Gibson Motorsport GTR! Lovin it. Have you tacked it yet? Looks ready to go!

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

[hrd-hr30]

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

[aleks]

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

small updates,

finally got my 4inch intake pipe made up, also in the processes of making a box for the airfilter

Also test fitting the new kit

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

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 its great to be able to get back on the track after being away from it for 3 years

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?

[Marlin]

He's gone RB Harry, he'd never go back. yeah Yeah, I know it's broken, because it's a 25 I think?

[aleks]

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.

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

a few little pics from lakeside yesterday thanks to Rob Nightingale

[phunky_monkey]

Looks good mate!

[NZM.031]

i think the 180sx will go down as one of the greatest looking cars ever... so simple and clean... the shape will never go out of fashion.
