A new member who's car and attitude I actually like! Well done!

[OFS37]

Ghasty I dont have any sounds clips at all... though its a very very quiet system. There is a buddy Club Spec II cat backl exhuast up for grabs over here for like $200. Im trying to get it but the guy will not return PM's!!! I really want it bad... they are a super hot sounding system!

DJButton cheers mate. The car goes into the panel shop at the end of the month as ive have a little accident. But while its getting repairs im also deleting the Compliance indicator holes filled as they ae not hooked up in the first place and look ugly, so it will look a million times better with out them. Also going to cut out behind the number plate section too and put on my East Bear Mirrors

Nice Car!! (......as I sit and print out pictures to put up in my cubicle....)

[OFS37]

Haha thanks man!

News just in!

Seat Rail was sent front Japan Yesterday... so it should be in my hands buy Friday easy! Im excited!

[Pento240sx]

Damm nice and clean 180SX . I can haz you 180SX seats

[placham]

This is how all 180sx(240sx Hatch) should look like here is US. Dont know why people go for the Silvia S13/S15 front on hatch. KISS "keep it simple stupid" this car follows the rule to the t. Even do that you bought 180sx type-x. Man those parts must of cost an arm and leg. So that just shows that your an car enthusiast and you love what you do.

So simply, like the 180sx, like what you doing with it. And if I would ever get a hatch 180sx Kouki type-x look all around is what I would do.

Liked the R32, love the front bumper on it, think I have one like that chillin' in my back yard from GTS-T.

keep it coming from way down under. And welcome to the NICO forum, seeing that you have about 25posts.

[adrianfromthecastle]

awesome 180!

I love it

[OFS37]

I agree with the KISS rule, as its 100% daily driven everyday and everywhere and I dont want to have cops all over it in a heart beat.

Yeah parts might look exy but I got good deals for good parts and I dont mind paying the extra for decent parts with better quality.

Its not hard to make a car look tidy, neat, clean etc.

Seriously if BH can do it... Anyone can to just got to stick to it and make it happen thats how I see it.

[ectomorph]

i envy you. lucky bastard

kudos

[placham]

OFS37, kind off topic but how hard and how much are the 180sx front fender lights/lamps. The lower front amber ones on fender? And are the red lamps in the back on the side with the bulge in it or are they flat?

Reason I ask is because while back I have noticed that front amber lamps J-spec are different from USDM ones. And I'm also wondering about back, since Jdm parts are usually cooler than USDM. But I have never had a clear shot of Jdm rear red side lamps. But your Kouki dont have the rear ones? My S13 does and our old 180sx here do too.

[OFS37]

To be honest I dont know how much they are... I could find out if you would like?

As for the little Red reflectors for the rear lower quarter panles, I too have only noticed them on USDM cars and not on JDM spec vechicles. I dont know why, might be so they are slightly different for you guys im not 100% sure though I wouldnt mind running them to be different I suppose lol.

[OFS37]

So I finally have my Kakimoto Cat Back on. Ive had it a little while now and I swapped another exhaust for it too. it came off an R34 4 Door but with some slight modification it fitted up really well also found out it was 3.5" and not 3" so I had it tucked up as much as possible and over all im really happy with, sounds awesome looks rad, just needs a good polish up but ill do that soon.

Also got these taken today also, You can see the damage on the front bar but that is getting all repaired on the 17th! Enjoy

[Bumnah]

More information on those knuckles please.

[OFS37]

As much as I know they are the second best items on the market being made from a mould and not cut and shut like other knuckles that are out there. Mine have a 20mm spacer built in to lower the Roll Centre. Ill get better steering agility and lock over all. Ill post heaps of picks when the time comes when im installing them etc.

Just took some closer picks of the Kakimoto exhaust.





Also I need to get some Autosol, My mate gave the muffler a quick rub with it and you can see where its super shiny compared to its previous state just below the badge.

[Dazzla]

Great build and great car

[WutsDrift]

Awesome build yo, but what happened to your CR Kai's? Keep up the muy excelinte work dude

[OFS37]

I still got all 8 of my Kais, they will go on when I go 5 stud.

Seat is about to go in rail arrived today :D:D

[SirSilvia]

[Bumnah]

Can you link me with a url so I can research the knuckles some more?

Also, these knuckles aren't made for drifting or anything are they? I'm interested in something that will help correct roll center.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Car looks great!

These are made for both Drifting and other car related track work. Why dont you buy some roll centre adjusters for both front and rear and that will help you there. Ill be getting some shortly too they are like $420 del for front and rear over here.

Just google GP SPORTS SUPER KNUCKLE KIT and there is links there with all the information you need to know, thats all I did

Now Bride seat rail and Bride cushions arrived today and now seat and all is in car, omg this seat rules over my old Zeta I had in my old 32.

Cushions on!







All Aboard!

[ZX88]

i like that seat.

[OFS37]

Its nice aye

Love it!

[spooled240]

damn does it feel like you're manning the space shuttle when you sit in your car now? That seat looks really secure lol

[OFS37]

Haha its so bad a**, feels so good driving/drifting around in it. Its the only Zeros in red with all extra bride cushions in aus and i love it to bits! TRUST Harrnes might go in over the weekend ill see how I go.

[Bumnah]

Use some Wenol to clean up that exhaust. It'll do wonders.

[OFS37]

Yeah I think Wenol is the same or similar to Autosol from memory.

I dont know what Pads to run with my R33 Calipers for when I go 5 stud. Any suggestions anyone?

* looks at BH * lol

[ZX88]

you need a nardi 330mm deep corn.

[OFS37]

Nah I got a 320mm Nardi Classic, has same material and red stiching as on the deep corn Nardi's, has a little wear but still a mint wheel.

And yes it is 320mm i put it up against my old 330mm just to double check it was smaller

[ZX88]

sick sick.

[OFS37]
