introducing myself.

[Maikool]

hey there Nico!

my name is Michael (Maikool) johnson, im 17 and i live in NT/Australia, im attending year 12 and im out of a job, so dont say s*** like buy new this coz i just simply dont have the money for it until i get one.

i love cars, runs in the family, my sister herself owns a s15 :O (ill add pics) fully import from japan, first owner in australia. though me and my sister is a jap fan, my dad is muscle man he loves v8's and thinks jap cars are gay but he also loves drifting

k pictures time! (has different quality pictures due to camera is weird)

this was my first 180 93 sr20det



bought that 180sx for $7000, awesome buy because it was in top condition (and the whole motorsport enthusiast community up in Darwin isnt very huge)few gadgets wasgizzmo boost controllerFiveRracing turbo timerLarge front mountT28 turbo

about all i can think off ... got hold of this car in Nov2009 .... then in December suddenly a tree felt like jumping in front of me.



when people have the sleepy-eye look.. i guess this can be the retard look? looks like drooling on one side took it to panel beater, said it was a write-off, for the fact i bent the front chassis, they reckon will eed to re-weld a whole new chassis :S good side was engine didnt get hurt just the front mount

since it was on christmas break took for ever to get a panel beater to come look at my car so i looked around for a shell.

was lucky enough to come by this mofker!



this is 94 180sx, got it for $2000 with a blown engine, came with alloy rad, front mount and a blown black top basically whole car just broken motor

next day started ripping out that motor (never done it before so i just pulled everything off)



shows how much s*** i actually pulled out LOLtime for the block and tackle!



this is the hole! shiet, and theres another on the other side



well i was proud, first engine ive actually pulled out myself.gonna get it sent to mechanics to be put together, cause my mum doesnt trust me since i was on wait list for 2 weeks i started on the interior

gotta love that smiley face;)



dash in, also changed seats/rear seats... basically everything because the red 180 was top condition.

visted the shop to take a look at my car(not top quality pictures, taken with s*** phone)

after like 3weeks in the workshop, and costing us a s*** load. finally got it running.

bad news - i took my whole red car there to get it taken out properly, but they left the shell outside over night.ecu, steering wheel, fuel pump, radiator got stolen, not to sure what else did.

what needed to get fixed to go over MVR.mechanic said my 'Brand New' alloy rad was leaking (was gonna just put in my old one! but wait! it got stolen!)cracked windscreentie rod bootssump was leakingpower steering was leaking, making terrible buzzing soundnew tyres

i replaced my transmission mount

and baught some nos tanks!

those arent really mine was at mates workshop. lucky for this shell i got many parts replaced from it!including the windscreen

this be me and my sister's car

got sick of the rims so i bought these new ones for realllllly! cheap!!$400 for brand new rims 18x7 and tyresretail cost on rims were $1200

bought a mad dvd player!

thats about all the pictures i can find atm... here are pics where its standing at this moment

(yes ino i need better offsets, might just go buy some spacers)

this smiley coming off the rear view mirror is so awesome!

and the rear bumper will be taken off and re-painted once i go buy the paint. not much has been done to it lately, but im proud of what ive achieved, also learnt a bunch of stuff! like never trust trees.gonna hit up the track sometime learn how to get sidewayz. im a pro at it! on ps3 games.

not turning it into a track car or what ever, its daily driver and just going to keep it all together in good quality.

so there it is, was fun little project, and now working on my mates 180, which was missing some parts and wanted me to install.so from all this s***.. pros are i know 180sx inside out :P haha i probably dont and cons is a empty wallet.

now TIME TO GET A JOB!

What rear lip is that? Would you sell it?

Nice car by the way, get some proper fitting wheels and it will look really good. Also put that lip on, it accents the front end nicely.

Interesting style, i'm not the biggest fan of the kit and wheels on the s15 but its still an s15 and i can appreciate that.

Awesome!

me and my sister is a jap fan, my dad is muscle man he loves v8's and thinks jap cars are gay

Sooo... I take it that there are either no Japanese ppl in Australia to be offended by that or that word isn't considered a racial slur over there like it is here...

I'm sure he meant it as an abbreviation rather than a racial slur.
