$150ish a set in US dollars.

DS2500 is what I run, I can run 'em on the street. You want to heat 'em up a bit before you drive hard.

Great on the track, very pleased.

DS3000 I have no first hand experience with, but it's more of a track pad.

Car looks good x100000000

Kakimoto exhaust just got a used 80mm one for the S14, rare exhaust here in the states dont see a lot of them on cars.

Work emotion Cr-Kai wheels, I'm curious to see them on the car. I have a set that will probably go on my S13. But mine are R18x9.5+20, F18x8.8+20.

What size tire do you plan on using on those Cr-Kai's?

So I did a Skid Pan Session on the 31st of July. First real outing in the car " track " wise. I had a ball had some problems with my clutch slave not working now and then but i pressed on with the evening.

A mate of mine got some footage of me... its not my best run but you can see when ive tried to put my foot on the clutch and then... it stayed in gear :S

http://vids.myspace.com/index....36346

And some picks I stumbled across from the night.







Then got a new NISMO Clutch Slave, already in and feels great!



Next is to get some braided turbo lines and all new turbo gaskets as I blew manifold to turbo on the night also.

Other than that I sold all my 17x9 +17 Kais cause ive been abit short on cash but looking at getting some Rays 57D's.

Hope to have them in time for xmas or just before, but ill keep everyone posted

Nice 180sx. I'm amazed at how nice the paint looks after 12 years. I lol'd at the license plate and it's "sunshine state." In the states, that's the state motto for Florida (Where I was born). Anyways, nice car. I really like the 180sx body and would like it, but to replicate it over here is more than I care to spend for that aspect of my car.

Haha rad as!

Id like to run my other plates but wouldnt make sence with my current wheels etc and being USA Style plate " Shape Style Plate you can get over here uf you get Personalized Plates " it will fit the rear bumper proper and look better lol!

So I take it over your way to get OEM Aero is quite expensive? Roughly how much are we talking here?

250-300 for front

200-300 for skirts

150-200 for wing

300+ for lip

350-500 for tailights

100-250 for rear valences.

just estimating.not cheap for real oem parts that were never offered here.

Yeah, those OEM aero prices posted above are good estimates for the parts, and we still have to have them painted too! So, yeah, it's expensive to replicate over here

Ahhh stock steering wheel haha, yes I do have it air bag and all, hrmm offer me a price if its worth while I might post it to the US.

Well those prices are roughly what we pay over here well ive seen legit oem side skirts go for like $100 Aus for a few times! Rear Valances are hard to get well mostly the center section piece.

Its starting to get hotter now and im really thinking of getting a vented bonnet. Id love a Koguchi bonnet, D-Max is second option but I wouldnt mind something else though. Im not a fan of the bolt on bonnet vents either they kinda look tacky. But pending on the depth of my back pocket depends on what I can get really.

Any other suggestions? Like I know I could raise the rear of the bonnet but imo looks tacky again and im not a great fan of it.

Discuss!

Update:

Biting the bullet and saving to get TE37's should have them in time for xmas and got to save also for a mini holiday drift trip to

Finally got some tunes happening now in the Type X. Had this bad boy put on one side from the 32.



Its like 100yr old Kenwood Double Din... I like it! Lights up and Stuff.



Can even adjust Screen Gangster Lean.



Also plays Casette Tapes too :sweat:



As for Speaker wise I got to keep my old Pioneer Splits, Tweeters, Crossovers, 12" Sub and Amp from my old EG Civic Hatch. Still need to hook up Sub and Amp but other than that daily driving just got better!

So sold my 18's to clear some debts and picked up some legit electric East Bear Mirrors cheap this arvo.



Got to re-wire the plugs for them to work but should be straight forward fix.

Also scored these bad boys for like... $1.26







So like im one step closer to rocking the ITOH Style I love very much!









Pretty cool huh? Yeah I know right...

Awesome!

Also picked up some D-Max Clear Parker/Indicators and Side Indicators cheap! Imo did alright mini shop on a budget haha. Waiting on GTR Vents to rock up and put them in and boom boom.
