Hey peeps
So this is my new thread and new life (if you want to say that) in Japan. I lived here before I joined STS, so I'm pretty familiar with it already.

I'm living in a new house that I'm renting in Yashio, Saitama prefecture, Tokyo. It's the perfect size for me and has enough space for 2-3 cars. I've put a deposit of V$2,000 for rent so it should keep that payed for a while.

So my newish cars is drum-roll

A 1994 Nissan 180SX

boooo that's boring everyone has one

Yes 180SX's are very common but there is a reason for that too. I bought it for V$6,200, it has no dangerous rust (hence the price), sorta faded paint, 4 teardrops with fucked tires, 1 has a puncture and it's n/a manual. It has a unknown cone air filter and some fake Mishimoto radiator. It's a chuki, and it's my new project/daily car.

So I called up Renaruto and we went to pick it up. (_thanks Renaruto). At first it wouldn't start, but after a quick jump it started up. It smelled a bit mouldy because it's been sitting for so long, but its nothing I can't clean up.

After this we cruised to my local UpGarage in Nerima to buy a new tire to replace the punctured one. It cost me V$65 for it and V$25 for petrol. I will be getting plates after I put it through sha-ken again since it was unregistered.
It seems to be running fine for now; it definitely needs fluids changed though.

This is all for now, I'm still jet lagged as fuck and surprised I haven't passed out as I'm writing this. More stuff will be happening tomorrow though, when I can actually function.

Spoiler:
V$20,000-
180SX:V$6,200
Rent, fuel and tire: V$2,090
Remainder: V$11,710

(yes I made these maps for people wondering, it's why they look bad.)

I might build it as a N/A motor with ITB's or I might go turbo route. Not sure yet really, but ITB's would be cool as fuck.

Probably a little lip or something, but I'm looking at replacing the clutch and general maintenance first because it was sitting for a while.

Thanks Kornis!

Renaruto

I'm still working in Phonexius's Art of Wheel shop so I'm getting money through that mostly. I also have money from my sold S14 that I had back in USA.

Small ting

insert intro thingy here thanks
Only a small update really.
Anyway, today I went to UpGarage after work. It was practically dead during my shift to I had plenty of time to look at parts n shit.
I spotted some stuff I wanted on their site so I went to pick them up. The car park of UpGarage always amazes me, stanced family vans and JZX's randomly everywhere. Owned by some employees apparently.

I bought a JVC radio since I didn't have a radio at all, some oil for an oil change, a dildo gear knob, a tsurikawa and a chuki lip for V$227. Pretty cheap tbh, but I have ordered coilovers from a special place for the weekend hopefully :> Spoiler:

lip was based off of ebay adverts.

I got home about an hour after work and fitted them all.
It was hard to put on a lip on my own, but I did it while struggling.

I took it out for a drive to the docks after, it's running pretty good as of now.
Before I ~~ruin~~ modify it anyway.

Spoiler: Parts: V$227

Remaining: V$11,483

I'm gonna get coilovers first and then I'm gonna look for wheels. Suggestions?
Also on this topic tell me if your selling any 180sx bodyparts, I'll buy em.

That would be cool, but I want to build this to a different style. Maybe if I got a cleaner chassis, I would. Edit:Now that I think about it, it'll look sorta like that when I get my coils.

Snowyy

I suggest getting either LMGT2's or Desmod Rega master's

I was thinking maybe more retro JDM, I'm looking on UpGarage as we speak.
