Well i bought this car a few months back after selling my white hatch and have been slowly working on it. When i first got it (already had sr swap) it ran really s***ty, prolly why it was being sold. But after replacing the fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, and some light tuning, it runs like a freaken champ now. I got new wheels, i know most ppl will prolly hate on because they're sport max, but i kinda like em. Theyre 16x8 +15 and i used ichiba 15mm spacers to clear the z brakes. It is sittin on silk road coilovers which i think ride awesome, got some RUCA's too.

Also car had HICAS, which now has the eliminator bar. My only prob now is i have now power steering, which i dont really mind, i got new lines, i just gotta figure out how to put them on and i guess block off the HICAS part because the lines going to HICAS are cut. But luckily i got the vlsd and the sweet turning steering rack.

Car didnt really have anything interior wise when i got it, so installed an safc, boost and a a/f gauge. And i have been piecing the interior panels back together. All i really need now is carpet, the upper B-pillar panels, and the piece that goes at the back of the head liner. Got comfy s14 leathers up front, and just got the rear seats from a 180sx from EliteJDM in philly, awesome place btw.

well that was kinda long so heres some pics























so yea let me know what ya think

thanks dudes, yea i definitely plan on getting the skirts/valences in the future. i'll most likely be upgrading turbo/injectors/mafs first tho haha

thats about as low as i can have the car so i can get in/out of my own driveway i had it lower but had to raise it a bit so i dont scrape

and i don't have the vent pieces otherwise i would have those in, i will probably end up making the vent like this

hey nice 180! Dont listen to do haters, Just cause you got a front bumper which really isnt an aftermarket doesnt mean you need skirts and a rear. Im from SNJ too, do you ever go to the moorestown meets or anything. Im finishing up my coupe prolly this week or next tho

I don't think anyone is hating.

The car looks beautiful.

But with OEM skirts and valances, (In my own personal opinion) they would set the car off and it would look super hot!

I never thought hatches looked good with silvia front 'till now. I love the 16" on those meaty tires, more hotrodish.... the stance is just menacing!! good job with it. I LOVE Euro bumpers, it looks far better than any bumper OEM or aftermarket, don't listen to those fools telling you side skirts and all, LEAVE IT THE WAY IT IS!!

Hey.. I got rid of hicas on my car. All you gotta do is get a non hicas powersteering reservoir, and non hicas powersteering pump. You're old high pressure line will work... I can get you some pics of mine if you want. It's pretty simple.
