Baz's 180sx (another one)
Posted: Wed Apr 13, 2011 9:33 pm
Hey, It's been a while since I've been on here, from memory my last "show us your ride" on here was my white my97 wrx, Since then I've had a vp commodore ute with vs front end, 2 honda crx's and now I'm back to another riced up 180sx, Reason I downgraded from the wrx to the ute was simply because I was into moto, And my partner wanted the car, so I gave the car to her & sold her mirage and got myself the ute & crx's etcc..Anyways funnily enough me & my partner now have the same car...Yes I said it, We have the same fucking car, No idea how it happened but it did lawlz..So my 180 has a few mods, Such as:
Power fc
hks gt-ss turbo
740cc injectors
3" zorst
cusco coilovers
cams
tomei adjustable cam gears
front, middle and rear strut braces
harness bar
rota rb wheels
flared rear guards
origin front and rear bar
carbon fiber bonnet & headlight covers, along with rear center garnish
aftermarket taillight and front indicators
few gauges, oil pressure, boost and water temp
r32 gtr front seats
Nardi steering wheel
custom catch can & cooler piping
Z32 afm
engine dampening brace
head shielded area around turbo and dump pipe
+ other odds & ends I've missed out, The car originally had a 2871R and it made 250kw atw's but was massively laggy, So now it's got the hks gt-ss
Had some recent drama with the car, The catch can was filling up awfully quick, So further investigation, we did a compression test, results were:
Cyl 1:120psi
cyl 2: 105psi
cyl 3: 105psi
cyl 4: 40psi ....Yes 40 :\
Pulled the head off & the car had been running so rich it has washed the bore down so it was all glazed..Head went in yesterday to get machined & to get the valves checked to make sure they weren't shagged, But got a call & their all fine, So I've got hold of another block so I'll be swapping blocks and putting my head on the new engine & giving the block to my boss as he has a 2.2l stroker SR..So it all worked out all well & good, Should have the car back up and running within a week or 2..So now it's time for pictures, Some of you from tassie may have seen the car on dvds or even in person as it was "chase car" for the tasmanian drifting series a few times..
