    it has some ecu/chip in it as it boosts to just under 1.2 bar(toms ecu?????)
    Front mount intercooler
    2 Mocal 10 row gearbox coolers with hoses
    Mocal 19 row Engine oil cooler with mocal sandwich plate and hoses
    HKS dump valve
    Sard fuel pump
    Full stainless exhaust system yet remains silent inside
    Sard Sports Cat (not yet fitted)
    TOM'S ARS lockout bar
    Meister R coil-overs
    TCS and ASC can be switched off by a button
    Project MU rear discs
    Supra front callipers
    ATI crank pulley
    Hell SS brake lines
    Custom front bumper and lip
    HKS FCD
    HKS SLD


    since ive got it ive put a set of 18 inch xxrs(still undecided on wheel coour) and 25 mm spacers all around, and started the process off changing it to manual, I got the r154 out of a mk3 supra, also got the slave cylinder, aster cylinder, prop and gearbox mount from the same car, I also got the marlin crawler vss , I bought a hks twin plate clutch for it(didn't see much point putting a standard one into it)
    So far my mate and I have the new gear box in, clutch bracket and master cylinder in, still have to do a bit of cutting and welding with the pedal to get the position of it right and to have enough of a throw on the pedal, the prop shaft is away getting balanced so should have that back in a few days, I got four inches added on to the shifter to get my gear stick in the right position.
    The job itself was really handy until we came to doing the pedal, torture is the only way of describing it

    this started life as a clutch pedal from a is200, weve had to do some cutting and welding to get it to sit properly against the bulk head

    im still waiting on the shaft to come back from balancing so that's kind of holding me up a bit, only down to small jobs now like tidying up wiring and trying to get my speedo working and my reverse lights, should have more pics of it with the spacers on later

    the 180sx I had started out with a redtop sr20det with the usual mods on it:

    front mount intercooler
    stainless exhaust from the turbo back
    lsd
    17 inch rays wheels
    fibreglass kit
    kouki spoiler
    kouki interior
    coilovers
    camber adjusters

    that's how it looked when I bought it

    Glad theres another aristo drifter.
    The VSS martin crawler isnt suitable as its digital. You need a dakota digital box or a trigger wheel mounted to the diff.
