Love it. Really enjoying a budget build, me personally I get so excited seeing OG shark noses on the street, I would do it too but I would love to see the exterior all original with the shark nose, skirts and original tail lights. I’m 40 and first 180 I owed was in 1999, crazy to think the thing was only 4 years old at the time. I’ve owed over 20 since and now have my ultimate but man I do love a OG looking 200kw 180, so much fun to drive. Can’t wait to watch your reaction when your driving it the first time. The emotion of you both is what keeps me coming back, wasn’t overly a fan until the S30 and watching you talk about the motor being out and left in Japan, that emotion is what made me a fan. Guessing 2 more weeks, 2 more episodes for us but I know your enjoying it now. Hope it’s all you were hoping for .

Its great to see you guys finally back to your roots! Ive been watching since the beginning and this is the style you guys have that I love to watch content wise. Your chemistry you guys have as friends doing this for all these years is awesome. Something I love to see even know we are all getting older. Unfortunately I use to be able to do alot more back in the early days workin on my own stuff but now Ive had to have back surgery and the Subie dream is kinda falling apart. But i hope to continue. Goal is 550 to 600whp reliably with the jdm v7 full 6speed swap. Keep it up guys love the content.

Nissan called it the 180sx because when the car debuted in 1988 it had the CA18DET which is a 1.8. In 1991 Nissan put in the SR20DET.

[@jsquared1013]

Was going to comment this. Also, in Europe they're called "200SX"... which is different from the 2-door B14 Sentra-based "200SX" that was in the US 😆

[@michaelcaballero8853]

It's 180sx because the 180 originally came with a CA18 engine. These videos bring back so much nostalgia. I had a 180sx which I did do right and had it running 272kw with a GT3071r. I also had the S15 T28 conversion prior to the GT3071r and it was making 217kw, so hopefully you do make at least 220kw :)

[@boheyo]

Meanwhile in Europe it's the 200SX.. and it only ever came with the CA18DET.

Get yourself a wire kit for power tools to use on brakes. They have the standard brush style to get between the lugs, and have one that the center is empty to put directly on the lugs. Works wonders on cleaning hubs

[@xeneizexxii]

love these legendary street car builds! a lot of nostalgia from the cruising through George st and sydney nights on weekends in the mid 90s-00s. shame anyone born after 2000 did not get to see the sick cars back in the days...

[@eppyz]

Yep 240SX here in the USA. It was a 2.4L out of the Nissan Frontier Pick Up truck. Most folks do the SR20 swap that are really into these cars. The Early 90's 300ZX Turbo Brake upgrade is also pretty popular and stays with the Nissan "Purity" hehe

[@wanteds13]

Nice to see you guys revisit the S13. Hope this time you'll keep developing it instead of abandoning it ;) Just a free tip; the S13's stock brakes aren't even enough for stock power. Z32 brakes are a MASSIVE upgrade for the stock setup and is as plug and play as you can get. If you want to stay 4 stud, you could drill the discs for 4 stud quite easily.

[@flydar123]

Please make more music that sounds like Prodigy, got me cutting shapes whilst y'all talk about fuel filters. Also provides high levels of ping satisfaction. Love it

[@g6et_wrx177]

Marty surprised you don’t already know this however extreme temp bearing grease is not recommended for brake components like sliders. Sure it will get you out of trouble. What you want is ceramic grease i.e. Ceramasil Brake Parts Lubricant from Bendix. It’s basically Smurf blood.

[@TheMeta6]

or use silicone grease.

If the fuel that came out of your fuel filter is particularly orange and dirty, check your fuel tank through your inspection hatch. Your fuel tank might be rotten inside. I had the same issue with my PS13 and it rang like *goat noise*🐐 .. I had my tank coated inside and out and it made a hell of a difference as the rust and crud was blocking up my little teabag on my fuel pump. Hope this helps! Cheers!

[@salto1994]

It's also helpful to think of an anti-roll bar as effectively increasing the spring-rate on the compressed side.

Ey boys, Aeroflow do little ramps for getting Low cars onto hoists or getting jacks under them, only worth like $60-70 a pair and in my opinion, worth every cent. Especially handy when you have something with low sideskirts and high lift points, so you can get the hoist pad right up and not risk anything.

[@richardgalindo1364]

Marty is right about S13s being sold in the US as the 240SX. You got the Silvia and the 180SX body, but only the 2.4L engine was available for it. Although the SR-20DE was available in the US, it was only used in front wheel drive applications (Think Sentra / Sunny in SE-R trim). The SR-20DET was never approved by the US government even though the purpose of the engine was to meet new emissions regulations that the CA-18 was no longer capable of meeting. I guess they didn't want Nissan spanking the domestics on the street. My friend was already embarrassing people in his SE-R back in 1993. An S13 with the SR20DET would have been a serious threat to the unsuspecting.

[@OllamhDrab]

Ah, the finer points of sway bars. And I like your new setup, seems like a fancy way to combine new and old school. Good point for kids, though, ...with older cars, change at least the end link bushings first before doing anything else, a lot of them have become like ricochet biscuits by now, if original, and may actually be making the car (or stock sways) feel a lot worse than they are, by causing wheels to kind of 'hop' together or make the shocks unable to do their thing properly. In general it's safe to go ahead and put aftermarket poly end links of any moderate character in instead, and adjust tension a bit from there as you learn. Center bushings, if they're the old saddle kind, you can do at any convenience, and to my experience, fresh rubber ones are actually fine, and may last longer and possibly give you less harshness about it than poly ones, but you can go either way as you learn to feel things out. With very old type cars, and like live axles, there's a lot of meat on the bone for improving over factory, and I found it a great way to learn the finer points of feeling the vehicle. (Also when I was like 17 I had the benefit of old guys at a spring shop just asking me what kind of driving I intended and they set up my leaf springs wonderfully. This is a place it really pays to call on expertise as you go, so you'll not be making big random moves and confusing your own learning process.) (Also, lads, loving to see the 180 build, I think you have the same spirit in mind as I'd do if I got hold of a nice one. And, yeah, the numbers and letters designations of different models were different in America. Where I think we're getting better about international names for parts of cars, but I'm still a bit shaky on translating kilowatts to horsepower. :) )
