hows it going? noob here from okinawa, jp. i'm 27 & in the Air Force. i drive a 91 180sx w/a black top sr20det. seen this site alot before, comes up when i google stuff for my 180. thought i'd join up and check it out, and pick up some info along the way.

had my car for about 3 years now, and seems like with everything i fix, something else breaks, haha. still learning though, i dont go into any fix thinking i know everything, i learn by doing/watching.

anyway looking forward to being a part of this site, also got another thread up already in 'nissan online mechanic'. think i made a noob mistake though & should have posted it in 'advance', but oh well.

thanks!

i actually havn't taken many pics of the car, but as requested, pics! (i warned you though, you weren't missing much! haha)

cell phone pic @ the track



sliding @ the track (my early days, lol)



pic w/5 lug but no body kit



my driveway/parking has a 'bump', about 1/1.5 inches high, so it leaves little room for my front bumper to not scrape



my car @ the house (have an intercooler....in the storage shed haha)



waiting for my turn @ the track:



thanks for the welcomings! hope to get some knowledge from the site, thanks!

Welcome to Nico!I wish i could afford to move to Japan i want to bring my 240 home one day to Kando, Fukuoka where she was born, do you like it there?Nice looking car it looks much better than it did. A little bumper fitment and a paintjob would make it look even better though, but i can't talk my car looks like a wreck.

yeah it needs some tlc, but i always find other things to make me busy, lol. gonna try and give it some time this weekend though. japans great, but i live in okinawa, and its not bad (island south of japan). i'll be up there in about 1.5 years though! woot!

my mistake, i was thinking about another blue one, not hinga's. i think he does still have it, and building it up for his kid.

sorry for posting the wrong info before

I think the guy you mean is in vegas now. The boosted 4A right?

If you mean McNabb, I think he's still around. His cuckoo was sick. Only guy I met who traveled with a spare transmission in the trunk.

I used to hang out with Beau and Rob back in the day. I wasn't part of the one-way crew but we knew each other.
