My Yellow 180sx.....all the way from Ireland.

[Ronanc]

Well folks, I'm new to the site, so I said I'd say hello and post pics of my 180sx all in one go. Not sure what style you guys like your nissans as I have yet to start browsing.... here goes

I got it a year ago at which stage it looked like this:



It was sanded down and stripped to bare shell and the following done:-Bodywork generally tidied up, dents etc.-Front bumper tidied up like new-New Origin Streamline back bumper-BN Side Skirts-Origin 3 piece carbon fibre lip spoiler.-Carbon Culture bonnet. -Original type x spoiler removed and holes filled.-Rear wiper removed and hole filled.-Aerial removed from quarter panel and hole filled.-Arches rolled to make way for future sick rims

Thats all I can remember at the moment. Then everything went to spray, the roof went a glossy black, as did the mirrors. The rest is a nice yellow I searched for and picked out. top half will look even blacker when I get money to fix up the tints, and one of my major priorities at the mo is the CHRONIC bad need for new wheels The wheel setup is gay at the minute. Its all money though!!

Enough talking.........

Looks good in yellow now you just have to get some better fitting wheels and you' re all set

+1 wider wheels will look better

Thanks for all the replies peeps.

One of the main reasons I changed from white was the fact that so many people in Ireland have white 180sx's so I couldn't be blending in

The yellow its sprayed at the moment is derived from an MG/Land Rover yellow.

New, wider wheels are on the to-do list. Probably 9.5 or 10". The current ones look lost in the arches.

More carbon and performance upgrades are also on the to-do list.

Thanks, i wanted something different on the back so my friend made up the sticker using some weird font. 1st layer chrome and smaller layer of anthracite grey to give the double layered look

EDIT: on the topic of custom stickers heres the one which remains on the back windscreen.

Smartass haha you know someone would have asked! lol

@breadbox.... cheers man, the CF hood tends to look just like a painted black in photos ( so does the CF spoiler) . Looks better in person

[breadbox]

you should use this pic for your sig.

[zach-Ka]

I like the yellow. The car looks good as a whole, I would just like to see some wider wheels on it. But thats just me. Great car...

[Ronanc]

@zach.... thanks man, wider wheels defo on the menu

@breadbox..... good thinking Mr. Box i better resize it first!

[SlIp'n'sLiDe]

your 180 looks amazing,+1 for the yellow color

[laxands13]

Way to pull the yellow off.. IMO moar low in the back will make the kit look even better

[nevertheless]

The pics and car look awesome. Make sure when you get wide wheels you get a low offset. like +15 or lower.
