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

ramalhinho07

My 180sx is now painted!
Dropped it off at Garage Nine for a new paintjob for a total cost of 1085 V$, the chosen color was midnight blue pearl, OEM color
Must say the paint overall looks very good, it's all smooth and linear, something i don't think i would have pulled off to be honest.

Also went by the shop to check on progress and lowkey got some pics huehuehue

Primer coat shot.

One of the midnight blue coats.

Final look now in my hands :-X
It's really awesome the change a color makes to it. Also this is my first pic of it after installing the 326 power coils 🙂)
In the meanwhile i also got my new plates as you can tell in the last pic no more temp plate

I'm now looking for a set of wheels, some old school wheel styling 15" or 16" max, maybe SSR or Hayashi idk yet

Anyway this was also payday week so an extra 415 v$ added to the bank account

Finances: 12465 - 1085 (paintjob) - 40 (DMV plates) + 415 (paycheck) = 11755 V$

New paint looks DOPE! Can't wait till you get the wheels. You should try something different, maybe hunt for some rare wheels. Everybody does SSR Mk1, Hayashi Streets, Reverse meshs or RS Watanabe. Something unique would fit this very well!

Equips?

David_2709

Toms Igeta? SSR Starshark? 😃

ramalhinho07

Thanks David_2709! 🙂

The ones i got in mind are actually SSR MK2, Hayashi Yayoi or SSR Starshark 🙂)

ramalhinho07

Decided to apply some stickers i had laying around in my place + some my friends gave me on the rear left window (i love the "kinda lit" slap especially)

And got some stickers printed to use as a vinyl for 70 V$ (except the 326 power that was given two in the package when i bought the 326 Power Charukiri coilovers.

And that's about it
I think i made my decision on the wheels and they should be coming soon 😃

Finances: 11755 - 70 (stickers) = 11685 V$

Picked up a second hand nardi wheel + quick release hub from a friend for V$ 375

He repainted it but didn't like the final look of it so sold it to me. Now i need a new color shift knob because it's kinda odd but i'll do that sooner or later

p.s i've ordered my wheels already the are on the way

Finances: 11685 - 375 (steering wheel) = 11310 V$

ramalhinho07

My wallet took a big hit
But i ain't mad

The wheels i was hyped for finally arrived! Hoshino Yayoi 15x10, one of the most beautiful wheels created imo
They costed me 3.100 V$ + 400 V$ to get them wrapped up in toyo proxes 215/35/R15 for a total of 3.5k

I need to start working on the engine as well, need a new exhaust, maybe change head gasket, oil change all that sort of stuff, dunno if i'll keep it N/A or not but that's a future decision

Finances: 11310 - 3500 (wheels and tyres) = 7810 V$

ramalhinho07

Got my self a single straight pipe exhaust custom made in JUN Autoshop in Saitama
Cost: 200 V$

Finances: 7810 - 200 (straight pipe) = 7610 V$

Got a little break of work and installed the foglights i bought from Doge's dope shop a while back, almost forgot i had them.
Oh and i took a pic with my old film camera, i'm a huge fan of the late 90's style (if you didn't realize yet hahaha)
Foglights costed me 50V$ but i've already paid them before when i bought the jack and the crosswrench

What does one do on weekends and day off?
"Totally Legal" Drift Sesh on the backroads near Saitama. I put on my OEM wheels in the rear just because the toyo tyres on the Yayoi's are brand new. It was a really fun time...
Also got a friend to get this dank shot 😛

Until this happened...

Went a bit too wide in a corner and tapped a bit of a rail and bent my bumper a bit, you can't really tell because it wasn't much dent, and since it's plastic i can fix that by applying boiling water and kick it back in place. Biggest issue is the paint that got damaged but thankfully it didn't catch my side panel, got lucky on that.
I'll fix this soon hopefully

JUDAS_MENTOR

That's not too bad at worst we can get you a new bumper and respray it.

ramalhinho07

Yeah, i think i don't need a new one, unless i manage to fuck it even more up
But i'll swing by soon to get it painted anyway
