1992 Nissan 180sx

Thought if I made a build thread, it would motivate me to work a little faster.

I first got into S-Chasis back when I was 13, and was obsessed with them ever since. I would lurk every forum just reading and wishing that I had one to mess around with. When I was 15 I finally found my First 240, even though it wasn’t much of a 240 at all.

After some time messing with this, ripping stuff apart and putting it back together, I had the car running, but the scrappers would be this ones resting place.

This would turn out to be the better choice, because a few months later of searching kijiji and the forums I found this one.

The bumper, stickers and wing were homo, but I told him to keep him to keep it, and ended up getting it stupid cheap.

Looked like this when I got it.

I know, I know, not much of a build thread, but i’m getting there.
Most of the stuf around this time, was ripping stuff off selling things, making the car super ugly, and wishing I never did.
So, with that said my car has went through a million of different stages, all pretty haggard, but the car was my baby.

Got to go to work, but will continue next time i’m bored.

What a homo… Lol kidding

Car has gone through a major overhaul this winter and spring, gonna be sick when it’s out

its like a de-build thread at this point haha

Thought it was alot later.
Anyway, this is what happens when you 16 and your car isn’t on the road yet.

First long drive out to Quebec, Sick views, and wicked roads.

At this point car looked like this.

But then winter came, and I ripped the car apart, started changing some things, grabbed some coils off martino, I set a bunch of goals, but missed most of them and the car came out like this

Yea, I know.

Bugged Miguel to take osme pics, and after looking at them, made me really want to get my shit together.

Bings meet came around, and yet again car still wasn’t how i wanted it.

Still ended up having a sick time, yummy food, and fun drives.

Near the end of the season, hit up dmcc, and I kinda liked how my car was looking, haggard still, but I liked it.

Started having fun more in local industrial areas.

Pretty much gave up on the thing for the year when I ran into a ridiculous wiring problem and couldn’t find the problem, after two weeks, and on my last try before pushing it into the garage for the year, the bitch fired up after fixing a ground.

This gave me a few more weeks to enjoy the nice fall nights, and have my last bit of fun before my car went away for a while.

And away she went, and she would never be the same.

Ofcourse having her away called for some winter fun, so over the winter I beat the shit out of these two whores.

Shit was wicked, and gave me something to go sideways everywhere in that I didn’t care to smash over curbs in.

During the season to be jolly, I started to collect some of my parts. Not much work got done to the 180 over the winter due to it being super fucking cold out.
So collecting parts became my main deal.

Santi sold me some Bricks and broke the ice for buying parts, After that parts started flowing in, unfortunatly, parts are STILL coming.

Next big thing was my wheel, and Tires, Although not the best offset in the world, better than what I have, and will have to do until I get moar gangster ones.
