Forums Forums StuyMac : Nissan 180SX

Been a while since I updated this...

Car is booked in with a company called APT in Norwich in October to have a few bits and bobs done

They are fitting a metal headgasket, tubular manifold, new dump pipe, my t2871R turbo, 720cc injectors, twin plate clutch kit, Apexi Power FC and mapping everything up.

They are also going to check the cam settings when the head is off to make sure everything is as it should be.

When it gets back it'll be going in for the front lip to get fitted and painted - there just doesnt really seem much point doing it just yet as the money is needed to get all the other bits done

The car the turbo came off mader 352bhp at 17psi, and Ive also found out that he had a cracked exhaust valve when it ran that figure, and was using smaller injectors than the 720's Ill be using, so I hope to get a little more bhp than 352..

..........

sounds like thats a good plan there any idea wot sort of power u have at the moment

Go stu lad.

That should be good for around 400bhp or just alittle less anyways.

When you hoping to be back on the road?? Guess your not running at sprints in Oct then.

APT only need it for a week - sat to sat, so I should have it back round the 14th Oct

At the moment, Id guess its running mid to high 200's

To spoil or not to spoil....

Initially I thought Id leave the car despoilered, but Im not having second thoughts

Looking at maybe going all out Kouki, already got the front bumper, skirts, rear lights, so all that leaves is the rear spoiler, currently looking at this one:







Its a genuine item, not a GRP copy, and the kit on the car in the top pic is very similar to mine....

Im getting the front end of the car painted when it comes back from APT as the bumper is a different black, so painting the wing wont be a problem...

I dont like the spoiler on its own but i like it fitted in that last picture.

If you have the front bumper & sciets then you might as well put the icing on the cake and get the spoiler....

Wouldnt it be rude not to ??

What about this one stu.



Will have a look about see if i carnt get a better pic.

Thats a Wangan wing matey, check the first page of this thread

I did have one, but it didnt fit I did line it up on the car though, and Im now swaying towards the full kouki look....

Spoiler yes

At the very least it would give the taller
person somthing to lean on.

Joking aside.
Yeh go for it Stuy, i think it would
finish the car of sweet.

That waggon spoiler looks poo (imp).

Yep i say go for it aswell stuy, giv it the full japases motor look.

Give it the finnishin touches!

Some new bits

Spoiler arrived last week, this will get painted when it come back from Norwich, along with the front bumper / splitter / headlight cover:



....and, a full Poly bush kit

spoiler rocks mate, cant wait to see everything painted & fitted, that poly bush kit must of cost a pretty penny

I can see your struggling stuy to find places to store ya car parts lol

Ooh nice! Presents for the old 180

While I think on, do you know anywhere that do decent/cheap polybushes?
