As the sun has been with us this weekend we did a few more tweaks to the 180sx. After I was pulled twice in a row for having no plate I finally gave in and bought one, this has been sitting around waiting to be fitted so that was first on the list for the weekend. Morf drilled the bumper and we fitted a bracket…

Dyno day.. So dyno day came up after a good while of ****ing around with ecu’s, i’ve been running some irritating lean issues and finally decided to go for a Nistune ECU. I arranged a mapping session with Steve Sadler from FC Tuning, we met over in Kent at the Hayes Engineering dyno..

Hey peeps, bit of an update. Some mates and I went off to our annual run to the sun newquay holiday in may, we took my bro’s S14, a mates GTO TT and my 180. We had a shite trip down there because of traffic, 3 hours stuck on the M25 in a stripped & nurspec’d S13!!

This is just a little update as it’s been a while. The car has been behaving really well, i’ve given it a lot of abuse and it is so far just laughing at me which is a sweet (and rare) time. The kouki wing is off to get painted properly, I also want to paint the skirts and potentially change to a different front bumper but I am…

I had been looking forward to this for ages as the last one was so good. Sunday held the second ever Okishima Program enthusiasts meet in Milton Keynes. The cars were stunning, the venue was good and everyone was very well behaved so we didn’t get kicked off :)

I had a busy weekend working on my car, I recruited a couple of mates and we set about knocking out all of the sound deadening in the shell. It was a seriously tiring job but by the end of the weekend it’s pretty much now all gone. The next job will be to launch into some serious sanding down of all the glue before paint.

Wow long day! This is a post about my car but it is also about Morf’s s13 too. Morf’s just had a TD06-20G turbo kit fitted to his CA18 and was booked in with FC Tuning (Steve Sadler) to get it mapped properly at 5pm today. I figured i’d come along for a jolly as i’d heard supremo mechanic bod Ali (Unit 18)..

My little black 180sx has been a bit poorly recently, since I blew a fuel pump at the roadside over a month ago i’ve been plagued with missfires across the rev range. I’ve replaced the spark plugs with new NGK grade seven items, coilpacks from a donor Nissan S14 Silvia, an Air Flow meter on loan from Jamie..
