but it was a great day out, and for those who missed out Hopefully NEXT year it is another World time attack again. Not sure if the world wants to travel to Aus because out OHS stuff is a bit hard core.

Even our own MAL Rose who drove the V8 supercar- I was talking to him afterwards and he went off his brain about going world wide never being told to stand behind a redline - even when he's not next to his car.

But lets hope we can put a on good show again next year.
Yeah the commentator was a douche...wish he shutted up so we could here the cars more...he was the only down side of the weekend.

Finally getting stuck into pulling out my trim to fab up the roll cage.

I was sick with the ugly looking supercheap battery box so I decided to go all out and get a Morosso Sealed Box from the states...

Couldn't be happier...Just a quick plug to the boys at VPW.com, great service, great delivery and great product at a great price. Give them a call and ask for Rodney.





Mocked up where i'll be putting it.



Decided to piss off the OEM front speakers and put in some decent pieces of kit.
I originally wasn't going to bother but this all came up cheap from a mate at work $150 for the lot!!!

TS-D1602R 2 Way speakers and some PVC spacers from Taark on NS.com







And a Pioneer 2 channel amp to run the lil buggers.



Unfortunately I forgot to take some pics of them in the doors but they fitted up nicely using all the OEM screw holes...

Last but not least my stuffed muffler worries are over thanks to Submission. Its a GP Sports EXA Evo Tune and apparently that lil tibe thing is a "Power Chamber"
Heres the site: http://translate.google.com.au/trans...ial%26prmd%3Dv









Nuthin like abit of JDM bling....cant wait to see it on the rig...

Thanks for watchin...

Got around to some cleaning up today...have been meaning to remove the weathershield for some time but now that its getting sprayed soon, I thought id get off my ass and give it ago...



And then they left this mess!!!



So after about an hour of hitting it with a rubber disc pad (panel beater use em), I got it to this stage...



Then after a lite hit with the turps...the final result...





Also polished up the muffler and it tuned out pretty good...everytime I go to get it thrown on, something stupid happens with work or tafe or something....but it will get there...hopefully before the next EOMM...





3" straight through...love it...





Hope it isn't to loud...louder but not too loud.

Just got my muffler fitted. A huge thanks to Submission for "g" ing up the exhaust and then going the extra yard to help me save some coin and get it installed for me..Thanks heaps mate...









The sound from this thing is awesome...its really quiet at idle but at about 3.5k rpm it really opens up...also go the resonator thing removed due to the inability to fit it with it on..

I also now dont get as much crap on my rear bar because it sticks out so far, this is adjustable but I like how far out it is

Bloody happy with the result...

It's a shame you had to cut the Rabbit's resonator off, as that's what makes them quiet.

Update (22/7/2010)

Ive done a fair bit to the 180 since I first purchased her back in November 08

Braided Turbo Lines
BKR7E NGK Plugs
Trust Baffled Sump
Walbro Pump

Nismo Catback (inc. Resonator)
GP Sports Exa Evo 3" Muffler With Titanium Tip

Cooling
Koyo 52mm Radiator
Nismo 62 degree Thermostat
Midnight Mods Oil Cooler Core with Oil Filter Relocator Block with Racespec Block Adapter with Permacool Thermostat & "Sized To Fit" Lines with Speedflow Fittings

Drivetrain

Interior
AutoGauge Gauges (Oil Temp, Oil Pressure, (Water Temp: Not Connected Yet) In DIN Cluster
Stripped Back End
New OEM Gear Boot
Battery Relocated To The Boot

ICE

Type D Pioneer 6" Speakers in TAARK Spacer Mounts
Pioneer 300W Max 2Ch Amp

Exterior
Removed Weathershield
Clear Quarter Panel Indicators
Removed Bird Bath Wing

Brakes
RDA Slotted Rotors
QFM A1RM Pads
(Front & Rear)

Suspension
Cusco Zero 2R's
Front & Rear Strut Braces (OEM)
Rear Subframe Collars

Wheels
Yokohama AVS (6 Spoke Things)
F: 17 x 7+35
R: 17 x 8+ 30
Kumho KU36 Tyres
F: 215/45/R17
R:235/45/R17

Things To Get In Order Of Preference
Circuit Sports Overflow Reservoir
DIF Water Neck Adapter
Sniper Racing Cooling Panel
5 Stud Conversion + R33 Brakes All Around Half Way There
CR Kai's (17 x 9 +17) ORDERING WITH TAXMONEY!!!
Swaybars
Kazama Castor Rods
Haltech ECU + 740cc Injectors + Cams(Undecided) + AU Thermo Fans
Rollcage (6 or 4 point, not really sure)
Tint Windows
Raybrig Headlights

Looking back, I think I have spent some serious $'s on her but it still is a beautiful daily, never had a mechanical problem, really fuel economical and still goes well.

ATM the 180 has 170kw at 10psi and the S13 Injectors are at 80 duty cycle. For now, this is enough power and I really need to get the brakes and wheels done so I can enjoy the power safely (The current brakes are scary). Once all that is done I can afford to get the EM side of things completed and hope for 300HP on 16psi....that'll be awhile though.

Eventually, I m hoping 1 day the engine will be forged with a Twin Scroll but until then, Im happy.

Ill update this list as I go.
