Hey my name is Ramalhinho07 as some of you might know me I'm 19 years old and been living in Japan, to be more precise in the city of Saitama, since i was 14 years old. I work at a auto repair shop in Saitama called Nada Engeneering I recently purchased my 1st car, it's a 1990 Nissan 180SX Zenki a.k.a "Pignose" for 3500V$, quite cheap to be fair. It has been through rough days but there's no rust that's a good sign, but the paint is faded because the car sat for a long time outside according to

Lagano

Why did you put the rear seats in? If someone sits in the back the car will scrape!! 😛 Still, it's clean af. 😉

ramalhinho07

Not with my spring and shock setup it won't hahah
but i feel sorry for whoever has to be on that rear sit, setup is stiff af 🙂) ^^

Z getting some love

The Z so far has been my daily car, and i've buried so much money in the 180sx that i rarely do anything to the Fairlady.
So i decided to buy some goodies.

First i bought these Work Equip 05 18x10's, that have been rebarreled a while back for a deeper dish, didn't measure the offset on them, but they sit nicely with a bit of poke. I haven't touched the springs height and the camber plates yet, but after that should sit right the way i want.
Paid 1650 V$ for all 4 with half worn Toyo Proxes on them, they should hold up for a few kilometers if i don't slide it around 🙂)

For now here are the pics:

I've also got a rep NISMO lip, paid 175 V$ for it, fits nicely with the stock bumper and the HR grill i got from a local junkyard for 25 V$

Now my goal is to get the Fairlady painted soon, because i hate the look of all the mismatched panels.

Finances: 3463 - 1650 (work equip 05) - 175 (Nismo rep lip) - 25 (HR bumper grill) = 1613 V$

Renaruto

Uhh.. That Fairlady looks so awesome with those 05s <3

ramalhinho07

Yeah she does, thanks ^^ 😃

Random banana shot

Finances: 1613 + 940 (monday paycheck) = 2553 V$

Mikingo

350z looks nice i wanna one 😃

ramalhinho07

Haven't done much to the 180, just fucked around with the ride height and lowered it a bit, tucking wheel in the rear, and front doesn't clip on the fenders (but it's pretty damn close tho)
Also slapped some stickers on the passanger side window.

And now i'm sitting here looking at the speedbump and rethinking my life choices 🙂)

Finances: 2553 + 940 (monday paycheck) = 3493 V$

Mikingo

Sticker life 4 ever right ? 😃 , ha ha i think i wil got the same low problems with my mr2 XD

ramalhinho07

Hell yeah man!

Just avoid the speedbumps and you should be good, my car is stiff as fuck with this setup 🙂)

Driftphantom

Loving the 180 man! And I feel you on the speed bumps.. Haha the rsx isn't the most practical daily driver

marcus915

WHAT A PIECE OF RICE

i love it <3

JdmSly

Z boiz!

Ward

And I thought that my car was unfunctional because of the height

btw the fitment is realy sick dude

Renaruto

OH. MY. GOD. It's a wonder that it isn't scraping permanently because of the bodykit.. xD

Luv it <3

ramalhinho07

Thanks everyone 😃

It kinda is constantly scraping, but i try to avoid the roads in bad shape, i may have to raise it a little otherwise i may end up fucking up my fenders, they aren't touching but i barely got any clearence. Or just fuck around with the camber plates idk yet

Been at the Cooldown HQ doing some detailing in the 180. Cleaning it up to look real nice and to put in my new D-Max floor mats that i got at Super Now a few days back for 75 V$.
Also bought a gear shifter cover at a local junkyard for 15 V$ (got a bit tired of the blue one)

Also got a tip from a friend about a NEO-VVL head (SR20VET head) that i might get, and along the way i should replace some more parts. I'm thinking about redoing my turbo setup as well... But i'll have more info on that soon!

Finances: 3493 - 75 (d-max floor mats) - 15 (gear shifter cover) = 3403 V$

Mikingo

Woah d-max floors mats sit in your interior and about shifter i'm big fan of this knobs so i'm sad about that :< you also can bring white shift knob or something.

ramalhinho07

Thanks dude 😃
I might put a different shift knob soon if i find one that i like more hahah

SR20DE/sT time!

As i said in my previous update a friend told me about a NEO-VVL SR20 Cylinder Head that was on sale for a pretty fair price (600 V$).
So i thought to myself, if i'm already upgrading the head, might as well do some other stuff that i've wanted to do for a while.

So the list on this is kinda big:
NEO-VVL cylinder head - 600 V$
SR20DET Twin Scroll Turbo exhaust header (2nd hand) - 675 V$
HKS Filter - 35 V$
Front Mount Greddy Intercooler + piping - 560 V$
Koyorad radiator (still waiting on it to be shipped rip) - 250 V$

Decided to keep the same turbo (Greddy TD06-25g) because i ain't rich and it's in better shape than i thought.
Anyway here's the progress of the engine rebuild (still missing the radiator):

Can't wait to take it for a drive, but first i wanna re-tune it and such because i don't want it to blow up on me (jk it's a SR of course it will :^) )

Finances: 3493 - 600 (NEO-VVL head) - 675 (Twin Scroll exhaust header) - 35 (HKS filter) - 560 (greddy intercooler) - 250 (koyorad radiator) = BROKE. 1373 V$
