mad conversion... the 1uz is getting more and more popular... let us know how it goes.. my g/f's celsior is slow as (1uz), but that said... it also weighs about as much as 2 180's

QUOTE(clutch-monkey @ Sep 29 2008, 09:16 PM) [snapback]1282939952[/snapback] intake pipe looks kinda short though  Im planning to change the right hand light over to one with the lil opening in it for air... failing that i might utalise the old hole in the front bar from where the intercooler was  |

Now ive been driving the 180 around for a week now, and there is a few things i have to iron out.. for some reason the power steering is very funny... when accelerating, even just the slightest and turning, the assisted side of things just stops... so i manually have to pull the wheel around to return it to centre... could be a wheel alignment doing that aswell.... or maybe running it without fluid when i was building has stuffed it... |

looking awesome, can't wait to see it in the metal! |

The car still is 100% finished.. Been rather busy with Bathurst and Indy... But i have been ironing out bugs... One of the bigger things that is really frustrating me is the 30amp fuse for the thermo fan keeps blowing.... causing the car to over heat rather quickly and blow out all its radiator juice!! NOT HAPPY!! So for the moment ive just ripped out the fuse all together... will have to re-wire i think... |

Well the car is nearly finished, picking up an analog dash this arvo, then waiting on speedo cable... Once that is all in, just gotta replace some rear subframe bushes and raise the sway bar a bit... its hanging at about 70mm from the ground at the mo. |

QUOTE(LXS-180 @ Apr 9 2008, 09:39 AM) [snapback]1282164008[/snapback] hey Guys n Girls... After seeing the gathering at the spit on Sunday arvo i really wanted to join the club as im a local for the gold coast and just baught my new ride. Its a 180sx (dont judge me yet!!  ) but i have plans for it...1UZFE... Thats right kiddies... a 4L, Quad Cam, 32 Valve V8 My mate has a Mazda MX5 with this motor currently in it, along with an RX7 (series 5) 5 Spd Manual in it, being managed by a Motec Computer... He wants to upgrade as he says the 4L isnt big enough, so he will probs be putting in a 6L LS2 or sumthing like that... Hes going to sell me his motor, gearbox, and computer for $3.5K and help me install it for not too much more  This wont be happening till around July as a few weeks ago, he got attacked by a widow maker (9" angle grinder) and completly severed all the tendons for his fingers on his right hand. And tendons dont have a blood flow, so they take a while to re-gain all their strength Apart from the motor conversion, i dont want the car to be too over the top... thinking of doing some sort of light conversion for the head lights as i dont realy like the pop up lights... Not sure about paint yet either... Any suggestions will be warmly welcomed Hope to meet some of you soon ! Andy B To get rid of the pop up headlights, I'd suggest a S15 front end conversion. A wide body kit would also go nicely, along with some DEEP dish rims. Keep up updated, would be interesting to see one of these with a V8  Just read the rest of the posts.... motor is already in! HOLY SHIT! That is cool Good job |
