View Full Version : Zero7Four RPS13
Right well iv been on the hunt for a Nissan SR20DET for a while now as some know and i went through all the phases - s14, 14a, 180sx, s15 back to a 14 and ended up with a 180 lol
I bought this off Steveone a few weeks back with brand new fresh NCT and i got it at a very very good price ;) . I rathered the idea of buying a nice clean 180 and havin plenty of money to spend on it instead of buying a s15 and havin no money to spend on it. What really sold me about this car is it has genuine milage, proof it was well taken care of in Japan and a rediculously clean shell. It has 165 000kms which are definately genuine and there is no patches of rust anywhere on it. I will have this back up on a lift to take underbody and arch shots to show how stupidly clean this thing is
It started off by layin out side my girlfriend (JDeeM's) house as i had to wait for insurance to come through, i got fed up of it sittin there so it then went out to Dori-Rorys house where it sat for another week but finally today, THE INSURANCE CAME THROUGH so i drove it home

So thats the car as it sits outside my back door.
The first thing i did when i got it was throw on the uras front bumper, i know it is well battered but the car came with the standard front bumper and it was fuckin aweful looking. Next was to rip out the UNBELIEVEABLY SHIT HKS dumpvalve and put back in the standard intercooler pipe. The car runs 210% better without the dumpvalve. There is a lot more power and its very steady going up through the revs where with the dumpvalve the power was all over the place
So anyway, tonight when i came home, i landed home to a bit of a treat.
The first few wee bits and pieces i bought

the 5050s will look a lot better against the white car. i know the koukis are really hard to get and all that jazz but based on looks i think the dmax will suit the car a lot better when im finished

Right well i spent my day off fittin these zenki sidelights to a uras bumper
I think they look alright, bit different, I like them bt:)
looks like one insanely clean 180! should make a good build. Love coming home to packages :D!
The dmax lights will suit the white well but I definitely would keep the kouki's first, look awesome on at night too!

Well a tiny update
I made short work of my front bumper at the last drift day so i had to get rid of it, i had a standard front bumper laying about so threw it on to tie me over til i get a new front bumper. I think the standard front bumper looks fairly wank so i threw on me new rocket bunny spoiler to give it some more bad ass jap driftooo appeal lol

Put a Zenki splitter on that front bumper, get OEM spats, lower it and leave it like that I'd say! Will look tough as fuck. I'd also fire in the early spec lights if I were you!
I think you went way overboard on the arch flaring too! The chap who had them before Pete just ran a slight roll and a good bit of camber AFAIK
Inspiration. Same skirts as you, OEM bumper and the zenki splitter

shes comein on well, best of luck with it.
Well I bought the SSR's in January and in fairness they needed a hell of a refurb, the dishes were very very dead and the paint was falling off everywhere
So this is what they looked like before hand when i got them
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u230/PeterTistaken/060c5d63.jpg
I got them off the car and left them up to Marty Coyle (martycturbo) to refurb.
I took as much time off work as i can to go up and lend a hand
Marty got them split and sent the centres away to be sandblasted
I went at the dishes with scotch bright and ended up taking a lot of the ground in dirt off them
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu58/matocastor/DSCF0230.jpg
At this point i let Marty do his magic
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu58/matocastor/DSCF0232.jpg
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu58/matocastor/DSCF0238.jpg
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu58/matocastor/DSCF0237.jpg
I sat back with a cigarette and bottle of boost and took in the scenery :D
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu58/matocastor/DSCF0236.jpg
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu58/matocastor/DSCF0235.jpg
So after many many hours this is how the dishes ended up
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu58/matocastor/DSCF0234.jpg
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu58/matocastor/DSCF0240.jpg
I was unreal happy with the dishes but i couldnt believe my eyes when he got them painted, the colour was perfect and was exactly what i was after. These are the finished article with the studs all shined up and the wheels screwed back together :D

you can get those spoilers handy enough, brian at driftkits does them, think theyre 200 euros???
Myself and dory_Rory did the arches ourselves, all we needed was :
Heatgun
Archroller
20 fegs
lighter
2 bottles of boost
a tin of monster
bag of chips
AND ABOUT 6 HOURS TO DO IT :D
hi i forgot clean about those shafts, i still have em layin here, ye can have them if your up ion derry anytime soon or at the next day up in eglington?
speakin of, do you know if there are any practice only days comin up soon at eglington???
Car going into the garage this sunday and is getting stripped down
not gettin broke is it? :shocked:
not gettin broke is it? :shocked:
Not as of yet anyway lol
Just tryin to save money so guna lay outa the driftin scene now for a while. Just strip the car down and do anything that it needs to be done to pass my weekends
Its not standing me anything and it doesnt owe me anything so prob will hang on to it but as long as its on the road i just wanna do too many things to it and unfortunately it all costs money so as i said, guna step back now for a wile, take the wife on a holiday and see how i get on when i come back and have a few GGGGGGG's in the bank acount again :D

Hoping to have a few more bits and pieces coming over the next few weeks. Plan is at the min just buy away at stuff for the time being til i have everything there, then send the car off for paint and then when painted bolt all the new stuff back on. was hoping to have it out for summer but dont see it happening at the minute as i dont wanna cut corners with this
UPDATE MOTHER FOOKERS
so been spendin me hard earned dabs on this recently
First off i bought this
https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/482540_10151352782636415_1951721673_n.jpg
Then i bought this
http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab33/martycturbo/DSC03510_zps4119ae62.jpg
Then these
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu58/matocastor/IMG_0764_zpsba50d194.jpg
So i have the genuine kouki front going on and i also have the Origin streamline front bumper i did have so when both are painted i can chop and change or fire on the origin if im going shhhhliding
Also bought this - Vertex Rear bumper
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu58/matocastor/IMG_0760_zps414113ed.jpg
Currently have a set of Origin tatakadasi 30mm rear quarters on route from japan so hoping they will be here by end of next week
I have the car all wire brushed down underneath, there is pretty much zero rust on the car which is excellent to see. the car was sealed before somewhere in all the right places so it is in extremely good condition, il get pics when its up on the lift to prove that. We will be undersealing it again tho just to make sure this thing will last longer than a sunday mass.
Fitted my new intercooler pipework, have one flexi hose to order and that should be it all saweet aswell
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu58/matocastor/IMG_0759_zps624fab73.jpg
Plans are to bleed the brakes next sat and get the coilovers in and get her back on the ground. Hopefully next saturday evening we'l be getting her out of the garage and shel be going off for the big lick of paint inside outside underneath and under the bonnet. should be away for a month or so gettin everything done. deadline for this should be sometime in mid july
tasty stuf man.. loking forward to seeing it al together..
Really nice work lad :)
was going to under-seal my car as well but ive been told that it can hold water so im in too minds about it now :confused:
Took a wee half day cos it was nice and sunny :D
ended up fittin the coilovers
got a new alloy rad aswell :D
coilovers are only in temporarily to get it rollin so i can get it up for paint and then itl be stripped again and undersealed
Now its time for a BEER

Mahooosive thanks to ConorD1 for givin up his saturday to help

Got the brakes all hooked up and coilovers set and bled brakes
Also removed all the aircon system, the 2 rads and aircon fans, pump and pipe work - there was a lot in this so was good to get out and will make the bay a LOT less cluttered

While i was up front conor took out the sounddeadening in the rear for me so when its painted itl be nice and flat, im going to leave the sound deadening under the carpet at the front as this is going to be a road car and it wont be seen. il more than likely be keeping the stripped interior at the back
This is how we left it at 11 last night and it was off to the pub for Beer. she should be back on 4 wheels today and within the next week taken off for paint
http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu58/matocastor/IMG_0791_zpsadc0a3ff.jpg
So the Origin 30mm quarters landed today all the way from Origin in Japan
MAHOOSIVE thanks to Jesse Streeter, cheapest i could have got them anywhere and they were here within days
The finish on these is unfuckinbelievable
https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/969744_10151404742581415_1191764852_n.jpg
So i went down and screwed the coilovers down some more and tested the wings and quarters against the wheels

Well its a big day, shes away off for paint
We mocked the kit up to see what itl be like and im pleased with it
Not 100% gone on the URAS bumper but il see what its like when all fitted properly
I ordered a Vertex off elite autos and this is what i was sent, couldnt be assed sending it back so il see what it looks like

Cant wait to see this finished,I do agree about the uras bumper tho,looks wrong!
Gonna look well! Get onto the phone and tell them to take it back! It just dosnt look right against the rest of the car :(
Just went through the whole thread. The car is a credit to you man and all the work you have put in.
Love the spoiler looks the muts nuts.
Just went through this thread, excellent stuff, really like where you went with it, gonna look class when painted.
I agree that the Uras should be binned but is still going to be gorgeous.
Fair play
Thanks for all the kind comments folks :) it has been a long ol road
I understand the concern about the URAS rear
the last photo i put up does show it hanging off and sagging and it does look a bit ignorant from the angle - it was only thrown on with duct tape
I have this photo to show that it actually lines up pretty well with the spoiler and we did hold it in tight with the sideskirts and it lines up really well with them aswell - thats why i just want to see what itl look like when its all fitted properly. il prob rock it for a while but if i still dont like it in a few months il prob just go order a hipposleek off jesse streeter
still a bit too much??

Well we got a good bit done over the weekend but sadly its not finished yet and with all of us going to a wedding next weeeknd itl be be a fortnight before we get back down to finish her off
Serious amounts of thanks to Marty, ConorD1 and McGingle for the much needed helping hand over the weekend
Got her back into the garage on the friday for reassembly - There is A LOT of putting back together on this thing

With the 20mil origin front and the 30mil origin rear panels the 18x9 +11 and 18 x 10 +11 professors sat nicely underneath but McGingle persuaded me to space them a bit more so we kept adding spacers til it looked the tits and we managed to squeeze in another 13mils of spacers to bring the rears out and 5mil to sort the fronts out

Mcgingle ran new wires for all the new speakers he got me and handled all the electrical side of things before we put back in the carpet, dash and clocks - it was starting to become a lot more homely :D

yeah it got a lot of attention at japfest alright, yeah kept it 4stud as the wheels are 4 stud, more than likely will put a UK 200sx rear setup on it with bigger discs and pads for handbrake skids BUT that can all wait for a while - im just over the moon with how it is at the min, driving great and im gettin around 400 miles to a tank which in a daily driver is hard to beat

Also got a set of as new second hand genuine rays wheels nuts with lock nuts in red, wanted blue but for the price/condition i couldnt say no

Thats al for now, hopefully have the digital clocks/HUD in soon and have the 5stud hubs soon so i can get these wheels fitted :)
Well they are finally back and working
Had to send these off to get the capacitors replaced, apparently when they arent used in a while the capacitors die so the digi part wont show up, anyway i found a guy who is a whizz with this kinda shit and it only cost 20 quid - Boom :D
Fuckin over the moon with them - cannot wait to get them fitted properly now some weekend soon

Got a wee video of them aswell
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTQ956hlq2w&feature=youtu.be
Have another part coming this week aswell, should be here on friday, probably theeee rarest part out there for a 180sx - cant wait to get my hands on it :D
That is so cool and them wheels are just going to be sick on it man.. good work.
yeh thats gona look goooooood. do you not need the little patch on the window for the HUD to work properly? or have I missed that
I want a digital dash so badly...

Cheers Simon :D thats class comin from a guy whos RX7 youve been in love with for so long :D

Technically you do need a little holographic square alright but i dont really see much need for it? i kno that the silvias that these came in had a square of holographic tint built into the glass. Anyway when this shines up onto the glass its as clear as day so il prob just do without, at a push i might just stick a wee square of tint on the glass when i get them fitted if i really need to
I want a digital dash so badly...
you should keep your eye on the yahoo auctions, my mate found a set on there aswell - get them sent over then with jesse streeter. just i read up that most do need the capacitors replaced to work the digi part and you need someone who is an absolute ace with a soldering iron to do this as the capacitors are miniscule and if you bend/break or solder anything other than the tiny part that needs it the whole thing is fucked. im talkin absolute tiny tiny tiny stuff lol so just a heads up
Well just got these
Those who know what they are - yes they are real haha

I never took to this car for the simple reason type x aero mixed with aftermarket aero looks like trash
Now I've got that out of the way I'll praise you for a minute
All the little details are cool as fuck, a lot of people don't give a shit and won't go the effort to get these parts, but you have and that's something I appreciate when dudes are putting these cars together
Bidding on those TE37's was a fucking wonderful decision and they are in white too.. Car colour wheel colour combo 10/10
oem rear bumper with spats ++++
You're heading in the right direction and it's pretty cool, one day you'll ditch that lame Rocket Bunny wing too hahahah
also start saving and buy that THRASH seat, that thing is too fucking good
xoxox

Thanks dude, this actually means a lot :D - i never originally intended to have a mahoosive URAS bumper that didnt match, i got sent the wrong bumper and had to make do - but yeah im going onwards and upwards :D
I dont think im just ready yet to ditch the rocket bunny spoiler tho, i want to see what it looks like tied in with the kouki rear and the custom diffuser - i think its tooo easy to go for a full kouki kit if you know what i mean, i need/want something that stands out from the rest of the 180s out there so this is what its all about, chop/change and try stuff out until ya find something your happy with that hasnt been done to death before.
that seat would be too expensive for me at the mo and itd tie into nothing on the car :D anyway im in love with my recaros - i think they suit the car perfectly. nearly look like they shoulda been there from the factory
i just cant wait to get the new hubs n all that jazz fitted so i can see what these new wheels looks like :D
More toys
Big Thanks to Petko for hookin me up with all this, full setups like these are getting extremely hard to get and getting extremely expensive so - very much appreciated man
S15 front hubs
S14 LCA's for extra camber
R33 Skyline front discs/calipers
R33 Skyline Rear hub/disc/calipers
R33 handbrake cables
Braided lines
20mm spacers
Hoping to get the time to get this stuff on next weekend and finally shel be back dancing with her new shoes

Ok so i spent a hectic weekend in the garage gettin this all done
Interior and CD player - speakers all wired up and workin sexcellently - interior all back in and looking like a car again
fitted the new s14 bottom arms, s15 front hubs and the skyline brakes and all that jazz and i FINALLY got the TE37s on . still need to raise the back up a taste and fire on a set of 20mm spacers that i have layin there but it is starting to look a lot better. also fired on the standard kouki rear end. The DMAX bonet is away getting tidied up and i should have the lot away to get painted in the next few weeks and then i think i might have this yok back on the road
