the GTR was my daily and the 180 was my race car and since the 180 was waiting for its SR20V / primera engine im just gonna pull the engine out of the GTR and drive train and turn the 180 into a 4wd car

i know its gonna be alot of work but it doesnt bother me, the 180 will be getting hacked apart to make room for the new drive train any way here are some pictures

alot of people said it cant be done but we'll give it a go any way

even if it means cutting the car into pieces to make room for all the drive train we are going to do it... well at least give it our best shot

the SR20V engine will be kept on the side untill i can find a decent striped out shell to build

Ummm i was gonna offer some sympathy over the car but it seems your quite excited over the gtr powertrain

Has anyone ever tranfered the 4wd system into a silvia???? s13,14,15? seen plenty of rb26 swaps!

this may make your 180sx a daily as well as a race car.....much safer too and you can still drift it.

absolute piece of piss to repair your gtr though its only superficial.... seeing as its already setup and its alot of work to do the 180 (as cool as it will be im doing the same thing) is changing it over worth it?? id fix the gtr ?

that sucks mate.. glad your ok, but that was a tidy as gtr... but i guess what happens happens and cannot happen any other way... its damaged now, moping wont help anything.

what are you doing with the rims?? is the 4th one repairable??

    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
