180SX from auto to drifter.... - Page 3 - Drifting forum

I still dont get how those V-mounts work, how can it get any airflow to the intercooler

Anyway, looks mint, colour change is good

Mighty_Mini · 05-07-2006, 02:05

That looks real sweet mate

When i spoke to Jez, he said that the only aftermarket Injectors his map works with are the Nismo ones. I was thinking about this before, and it seems like i might be right. If i get some standard injectors, say GTiR 440's or S15 ones, his map works fine i take it?

Yeah, it needs spacers with those rims now the arches have been flared. It might be easier to sell them on as my other rims have a better offset, and I don't want to be changing spacers every time I swap wheels. And the Z32 appears to be fine thanks mate.

As for the colour, I think Sam meant people have a colour, not everyone having the same one as each other.

Not decided on the graphics yet Mike. There are some good designs but would cost a fortune to replicate. If I can get something that looks good at a reasonable cost (I like Phil's old random D1 design), I will.

The V mount definitely works, Kam. Straight after the mapping session I checked it, and the cold side was miles cooler than the hot one. Still might get a fan under there for sitting in queues.

Dave, the Nismo 555's are the ones that work with the off the shelf maps. The S15 ones have to be custom mapped. I got them because they were cheaper and available, and as I only have a GT28R, would be up to the job.

And Mr Grimsby-bugger orf

How come I never saw this thread before?
Its cool to watch a car come from standard upto high/drift spec and see all the stages of the progression. Gives me ideas that end up costing me money...

**Mitch** · 05-07-2006, 11:44

Sorry Mr Grimsdale

It would have cost me a bit more if you'd have sold me those VS bumpers, Pete

pyroteknikon · 05-07-2006, 12:08

Tell me about it. I'm not playing the dibs game, anymore.

To be fair, though, the lad did come up from South Wales to pick 'em up.

**Mitch** · 06-08-2006, 08:06

Slightly less gay offset rims now, and just sorted a slight oil leak which showed itself when I fitted my rocker arm stoppers.

Still need a front aero bumper, but going to go for a prefacelift for now, as I hate the one that's on there at the mo

TaxiDori · 06-08-2006, 08:54

weird how i missed this thread! will look top with front and rear aero i think. Some slightly stretched tyres and lowered a bit more to reduce the gap and it would look so hot

still function over looks, so nice one.

**Mitch** · 06-08-2006, 10:15

They're 225's on 9Js, but do look a bit balloony. I don't think I'll be lowering it any further though. Function over form in that department, as it does get used on track........

poo, you want your suspension arms pointing way past horizontal up at the sky, the geometry works better then.. honest..

thats what im telling myself about the bmw anyway

that, and that having mega rear camber is "good" for drift

and you get bonus points for sparking on the sump under braking.

your 225/45 on 9j looks baloony compared to even mine! im using goodyear eagle f1's though so maybe they just look different. not keen on wheel design myself but the fitment is a lot better

RandomGuy · 06-08-2006, 12:01

Dori Mat · 06-08-2006, 13:22
