Olly's 180sx Type X then JZX110 Mark II then JZX100 Mark II

[Olly - Sil80]

SO!... I bought a 1997 180sx. It looked like this.

Then I changed it so it was manual, and I put a seat in it so I could go faster around corners and a steering wheel and a gearknob.

Then I found a few bits I was missing and bought some wheels.

Then I put everything on

And now it's done. Last weekend I drove it down to Taupo listening to Phil Collins most of the way and I filmed some of my friends drifting:

[NIcad7]

Would this be an RPS13? So i can search on the Jap auctions? Looks bloody lovely for such simple mods!

 

[Chriscooke]

That is sweet. Any more pics of it since you have finished it?

 

[mr2]

Wicked vid dude...


Im lovin the purple/blue 180.. and fair play to the guy driving the corrola.

 

[Olly - Sil80]

Nicad7: Yep RPS13, It's actually a Spec S model (SR20DE) but don't tell anyone. I don't like overcomplicating stuff. It's not a drift car. It doesn't need 10000000hp and 900 adjustable arms. I daily drive it also.

Here's a BIG picture, excuse the front offset, was running HUGE spacers when I took it:

 

[Chriscooke]

Put the spacers back on the front You WILL end up swapping the engine tho

 

[Olly - Sil80]

Haha. I highly doubt it.

Purple/Blue 180 is Adam from C's Garage.
Brown 86 is F20C powered.

It was a great day for sure.

 

[NIcad7]

really like it as a daily ride, will be just what im after in a few months

This project is all about two words - "simple" and "clean". What's not to like about it?

Loved the vid. Isn't that white FC running a 1JZ? It definetely doesn't sound like a rotary engine...

 

[Olly - Sil80]

Yep! Marks car runs 1J!

Another vid I did a while back:
