Hello. Just moved to Japan and started buying up stuff for a 180sx build. I have virtually no experience with Japanese cars. I had a track built srt-4 in the states that I dropped 60,000 USD into over 3 years. I just parted it out to fund this and of course, lost my ass. Oh well. I wanted to get into GTA/time attack (hence the build) but I'm in the military and got transferred. I will probably be in Japan until 2020.
So far I've accumulated two RB25DET blocks, both with RB25 transmissions. Bought the SYKO mount kit from rawbrokerage, and the ABS driveshaftstop aluminum shaft from DSS. Still looking for a decent low dollar 180 to tear apart. I'm in Okinawa so I have to get one shipped in from mainland so there won't be too much rust, etc. Trying to spend a little less than I had in the other car
Stuff I am reusing from my previous build that I have in the garage: GTX3076r with a .63 tial v-band back half (gonna need a new back half, .82 t3/t4? still looking at manifolds), magnafuel pump/filters/ss lines, some APR GTC aero, etc.
Got a few years, not looking to terribly rush things unless I manage to sell off the rest of my crap back in the states sometime soon. I'll be reading/learning. Advice for build is welcome. Thanks.
The garage right now
