Howdy folks, figured I'd introduce myself since I'm finally an S13 owner. I've been the owner of a 1984 Nissan 300ZX 50th Anniversary Edition since 2009 but I figured it was finally time to branch out to the s-chassis game as well.

Well I guess without further ado, here she is:

She's a '91 hatch with a CA18DET swap and a bunch of goodies. Silvia K's aero, Seibon OE style CF hood, 17x9/18x9 Nismo LMGT2's, Cusco strut tower bars, Nismo power brace, full poly suspension, SPL RUCA's, HKS 256 cams, Walbro 255, A'PEXi N1 3" turbo-back, Koyo rad, XS Power FMIC, TiAL BOV, Forced Performance 20G, Spec stage 2+, S15 helical LSD, Stillen BBK (AP Racing 4 pots, Z32 rear), Z32 MBC, Central20 ROM tuned ECU, Bee*R rev limiter, R32 GT-sT steering wheel, 180SX interior with manual seat belts, and some mad tyte JDM y0 dual projectors with yellow fogs.

I've heard this is the place to be when it comes to the CA18, so I'm hoping NICO lives up to the reputation.

Plan is to go full kouki 180SX aero from the skirts back. At least, that's the plan so far. Hoping to daily the car for a little while if it winds up being a fairly reliable set of wheels.

Welcome aboard!

She's a good-looking sil80 - with a damn solid mods list, too!

Thanks fellas. Hopefully the car lives a long, good life for me. Just threw some new oil in it today and man does the fresh stuff make a difference over that black s*** I just drained from the sump lol. Easily pulling 7-8 psi of oil pressure more at idle.

And krash, good to see a somewhat local guy as well. Casey Holmes (cbh148) was the guy who took me out to get it, so that's probably why you've been seeing the car pop up on your FB like mad the past few days. I'll have to meet you in person the next time TO or East10 throws an event together.
