big bolt on's

internals

tranny, just to name a few

hopefully when it comes in time for rebuild can get a forgie kit so i can get it ova the 300kw

[charlie15 0]

[assad11 12]

[180XS 0]

very nice im lookin at gettin 300rwkw in mine as well might hav to put in a gt3540R n otha mods

[MeRlz 23]

thanks for the comments guys appreciate it

 

sort of going to put in the essentials for now

 

fmic

ebc

dump and front

 

then i will get all the parts all at once and go all out soo i can get the car to the 300 mark

[blue_180sx 0]

really nice ride dude..!

[GreekWarrior 1]

very nice

[phee 13]

300rwkw is a LOT for a car like that. Why did you choose 300? Just a nice round figure or bragging rights? No offence, I love the car and if I was to get a 180 type X it would definatley be exactly like yours, but I only say all this cause I had a Skyline (33) that had just under 300rwkw and it became very hard to control especialy in wet conditions (practically impossible), not to mention the maintenance. I spent $25k reparing the stupid thing because of the mods on it to maintain that power and in the end I just gave up. Don't want to see someone else go down the same path and stuff up a very clean and respectable looking car.

 

Unless you're talking about 300fwkw?

 

You might already know all this and be a lot more mechanically minded than me, but don't rush into these things with cheap parts, having drivability and reliabilty is a MUST The more you remove it from stock the more you're going to have problems with it / spend money maintaining it.

 

Best of luck with everything! It really is a nice car.

im sparing no expence on the car hence why i am just getin essentials first

 

and then the whole build is going in at once

 

and 300"REAR" wheel KW was a rough figure

when it comes time for rebuild i want to put a forgie in it soo by then it will probs be over that mark

 

interior will also get a fix up aswell with bride interior all round

but that will be last

 

i appreciate concern but iv been wanting to do this forever and i will reach what im after

 

just a matter of time you know.

 

my goal is for this thing to have heaps of power without getting attention

 

*sleeper styles*

[phee 13]

Oh I didn't post to put you off rebuilding your car, just to make sure you knew what you were after. You sound like me when I was making my plans, performance first, styling second; and it's a good way to go. With your basics make sure they are good enough to get the power out of them that you want, so you're not buying things twice, and don't forget to do the brakes, suspension and drive line

 

I'm sure you know all this... I'll just shut up now

haha na its all good thanks for the input. appreciated

 

but styling wont be touched!!

 

exterior will remain the same. just rims will get the upgrade

[stan_ 3]

exterior looks perfect as is.!

 

300rkw is a fair bit of $$ aye... but its too to achieve what you want.

 

goodluck~

[assad11 12]

all go no show ftw! pleeeaaassseee, make sure when you buy rims you get a nice offset lol, thats what makes stock cars look good offset..

[MeRlz 23]

yeah i really dont want to get rid of the rims i got because they fill the guards nicely

 

but il end up geting a 5 stud conversion

 

hopefully chucking some 18'' Gram light 57F pro's on

[assad11 12]

+1 for 57f, check these offsets:

 

 

 

[~Prinny~ 0]

very nice car... good work!

[MeRlz 23]

+1 for 57f, check these offsets:

 

 

 

 

those rims hav rediculous offset

 

yeah its either the 57F pro or silver VS-KF

 

im heading towards the VS-KF but i duno

dosn't really matter considering my rim choice wont be for a while

[assad11 12]

why dont you go te37?? gold lookd good on silver, and got a really low offset with them.

[MeRlz 23]

ahh was thinkin bout the TE's but i dont know they dont appeal to me as much as the 57f pro or vskf

 

yeah i want to try get as dished as possible with lippin and maybe a slight flare

 

with probably alot of camber haha

[assad11 12]

sharp camber ftw lol.

[-wanTEDsx- 0]

how much u pik it up 4? looks familiar from a dealer

[MeRlz 23]

yeah i picked it up from T.G.S performance in cheltenham

 

it originally had the 180sx type x fog lights on them aswell but i got rid of those quick smart

 

and those gay stickers on the side window got rid of them to.

 

i was just originally looking for just a 95 black top nothing special then bumped into this at the workshop and bought it the next week

 

love at first sight

[-wanTEDsx- 0]
