180sx getting under way

Are the rear fenders on yet.. I'm thinking 50mm for mine but not sure it it's too wide for a 10x17 et-7???

not yet mate but i was told by jack that the rota grids i bought from him (18x10j et15) would need 30mm spacer, they sat pretty well on his s13 (aka brown turd) so usin my bad maths skills u would prob need a 8mm spacer to get it bang on..... but then again the grids tyres are stretched on the grids (225's) so u might be ok
 
Riiiiiight.... couple of bad decisions made today
1..... deciding to wake up at 2pm to work on the car on a day its ment to piss it down
2.... rust treating the front end of the car and painting it with the waxoyl pump spray thing... which was stuck open... I pumped a shit load of pressure into it... absoloutely paaasted the car in it (pictures soon :-( )

Good decision.... buying a welder.... I've decided this is the best thing next to cable ties

Hopefully with a carbon slam pannel and the front end all in 1 piece u won't see the the mess of the front end... on the bright side it won't get rusty... EVER.
 
the waxoyl rape :(

and the ab88 fmic that finally turned up, barely lines up right.... all pipes are slightly different sizes and the silcone hoses and clamps suplied are shit quality

got the silvia grill and some new lights that dont have broken tabs

if any1 has a decent fmic eg. greddy or sumthing that fits well to a ps13... pm me ! had enough of crap quality
 
not done alot to the car in ages... so thought i would get the inlet off... do the iacv and clean it all off while i was at it

its on... but not got all the lines hooked up yet... and i need some more coolant ones for the throttle body as the others were next to impossible to get off
 
quick update,
it was off road for a while, so i got it fixed up with a bit of help from a cuple mates (patto and kangus) got it on road and had a right good time until the rack killed itself and ripped a tein track rod out clean, the bushes had gona as it was knocking but have no idea why it would rip the track rod out as it did under no major load,

the greddy manifld os on properly now, but the boost solenoid or actuator is playin up (boosts to 0.9 bar then drops to 0.5 then starts to level at 0.7) it does this in the space of 2 seconds, still puls like a train regardless, more pics up asap

rolled the arches
half plumbed the gauges in
nismo gear box mount
clarkeys old flexi centre pipe in
heat wrapped exhaust
japspeed down pipe
greddy manifold
bumper bar (home made lol)
custom exhaust extension (clears uras bumper.... maybe a bit too much)
carbon grill

and few other bits n bobs done since last time i posted :D
 
arch rolled before and after pics, now runnin 25mm spacers on the back so much better now... will get pics of the fitment with spacers in morning

to much. make it a 15mm one and lower it more
do dw sell 15mm 1s?
i fancy wham bar u seeee

and i would go lower but u should see how close the backbox to centre pipe clamp is
however with the 50mm rear arches (if i ever get rnd to em) it looks to sit alot better
 
and where the exhaust now sits, may shorted the back box pipe a lil bit tho because it looks a lil too far out
