V$ Ward's Japanese RP

Ward

Heyy my name is Ward aka Jorge
I'm 19 years old and been living in Japan,in the city of Osaka, a year ago I came here to land of the rising sun to study .
I work at a 2nd hand car parts shop and at night I am on school

I recently purchased my 1st car, I have bought a 1998 Nissan 180SX Kouki a Type S to be more precise for 4315V$,
As you know the kouki models came with a lot of sub-models there was the Type x,s,g.The S is like the starter model with less addons and with an SR20DE silvertop and an automatic gearbox.This car has been through rough days a couple years ago it was a parts car and it was stoped for 4 years until the owner started to make it into a sports cruiser.

The owner made a couple of mods like a koyorad radiator,Toda exhaust manifold,Kakimoto muffler and an HKS air filter one of the things the car was so cheap is that the old owner was swaping it for a manual gearbox but he never finished it so the car has no driveline but to be fair it was a good price since the body and the paint are in mint condition.

My plans for it are for now to is getting a gearbox and make some modifications to it

This is promising. Looks good for now. I think that I've seen a driveline for your car with transmission here in a junkyard. Might interest you...

That's a very clean and original 180. There's a SR20DE in our garage and i can sell you its transmission (5 speed manual), just give me an offer! 🙂

Added 2 minutes later:

Also you're missing the clutch probably, so i might throw that in as well.

Good luck with that new ride! We should meet and do something soon, yo. Maybe I could do some hoons in that Type S when you get a new gearbox 😉

Long time no see
So in the meanwhile I started putting apart the SR20DE from my 180sx because I got the missing parts for the car could be drivable

So I got a gearbox from Lagano it came from an SR20DE Redtop that was also in a 180, got the stock flywheel and a new clutch from him for 450V$
Since I was also missing a differential and a driveshaft I went to a local scrap yard here in Osaka and found a crashed Nissan Silvia Spec-R, the driveshaft and LSD were in a good shape got them for 280V$

So I have pulled the SR out because it's easier to install the gearbox I got everything on Friday and I have spent all weekend fitting the parts and thank god today I have the day off I am gonna put the engine back on the car to connect the driveshaft and LSD. Later, my friend Octavio will be here to work on the ecu since the car will no longer be automatic and you have to program some stuff for that.

holeecrab

yngsensei

Looks dope, we should meet when you put that 180 together.

cate

i think this will be nice build 🙂

Soju

True. I can see a high-quality build already huehue

Lagano

:iagree: Just keep it clean man 🙂

HomerHarbi

I don't need to do that much work, it's just grounding some wires :lol:

STANCENAYSH YALL

So if y'all are smart asses like Holeecrab and asked yourself "why the fuck your car is so low fgt" well this happened on the same week I have bought the car

So I have ordered from Stancenation a set of 326power chakuriki 14k springs a friend of mine has them on his jzx90 and says that was one of the best mods he has done. I have paid V$1400 they were expensive as shit, but the improvement on the car was amazing. Right now I am running on 6 inch setup (nearly rubs on the fender but ok)

About the auto to manual conversion now that the car is working fine, I took it for a rip on the docks and the DE moves quite good for 103kW my only concern is the LSD it's making some weird noises just not to speak, it's acting like a normal open diff but maybe it's because it was from a DET engine and I am running on a DE engine

Also, I got stickers from my friends, some of them I have printed them
