[@peterkaraferis]

Yes! Finally a non-overbuilt s13 OEM+. I have the same one built exact the same way! Really hyped about this build as for every other build on the channel, but this one has a special spot in my heart! Can't wait to see it finished but I love the process!!

[@jdmglobalwarehouse]

Yeah love the direction of this build, well rounded and balanced 👍

[@ghomerhust]

i absolutely loathe dyno queens. useless other than showing off. this car will be able to be driven, HARD, enjoyed, played with. my parents have some restorations that they cant even enjoy for fear of damage. i want to USE my cars, drive them, feel them. i only have shitty vw hatchbacks, but they are fun, lively, and keep my family moving forward. doesnt matter how rich i get, it will still be shitty vw hatchbacks, just a LOT of them, and ill drive every single one for every little thing. like what this slick 180 is going to do. and this car will look damn good doing it.

[@wasabicars]

I am loving the brains out of this build! Oh, and that beat that dropped at 19:33 was gorgeous

[@I1S1337]

You can repin the new lock with the pins of the old lock so it’s the same, assuming the only difference Between the locks is the outside. Just swap internals

[@mightycarmods]

👍

[@ghomerhust]

my grandmother was a locksmith for 25 years and taught me how to do pinning. it's not hard at all, just gotta have stable hands and some tweezers! ive repinned tons of vw tumblers to match the key set that i already had. works like a charm

[@chefkim91]

Ive been a chef for over 11 years now but started a passion for cars cos of you guys back in 2009. The past 3 years I have struggled with debt due to my partners cancer (Surgery was successful but has to travel every year for a check-up) and due to covid have been struggling for a long time and havent smiled much the last few years. Your videos are one of the only things that bring me joy and kept building my passion for cars. And after 2 years of trying, I have finally gave up my life as a chef and became a car dealer which was my 2nd dream job! Thank you guys for all your work and cant wait for this 180 to be finished :D

[@rjh5288]

You guys are by far the best car building show to probably ever come out, no BS, no scripted stuff which makes the show better and more enjoyable to watch. You guys are just awesome "LONG LIVE THE NUGGET GOODNESS"!!!!!!!!!!

[@martin_vester]

Powderhouse needs to get more recognition. The quality of work is really amazing!

[@ghomerhust]

yeah dude has done several projects for the guys, always has an excellent finish. good hands

[@andersjjensen]

Yeah, Trong is a legend. The light-cut-and-polish he did for them (can't remember which car) was an eye opener for me. I did NOT know that something that dinged, scratched and faded could be made to look almost as good as a respray. A full respray is out of my budget, but for a car I care about a quality freshen-up is within reach.

[@danbrittain9530]

So glad to see the black roof, all s13's need that to look right IMO. As for the different boot lock, you could just remove the barrel entirely and fit a rear view camera in the hole instead and run it off an Android double din. Did exactly the same thing on my Z32. 😎

[@JoelVigliotti1]

180s it looks good because of the hatch S13s look goofy imo

Watching you put that front bumper to the car and scream is the 15 year old boy who always wanted this and has finally worked his ass off to get it. So happy for you guys to get to experience these sorts of things!

[@reiisthebestgirl]

I love how happy that Nissan looks. Modern cars are pretty much all angry.

[@Ganjatraining]

This is especially true for sports cars. Back in the 60s, they were often very stylish and classy (Jag E-Type, Lambo Miura). Then in the 90s they were often sleek and simple (180SX, FD RX-7). Nowadays they almost all have vents and angles everywhere and "frowning" headlights so they look AgGrEsSiVe and sPoRtY

[@Yvolve]

To stop the skirts, or bumper, cracking any further, you can drill a small hole at the end of the crack. Even with ziptie stitches, the vibrations will make the crack grow over time.

[@thegratefulnomad1369]

Thanks mighty car mods ❤️. After 3 years..I have found my motivation to rebuild and restore my s14 Zenki. Back in the days also had a white 180sx, this build hits soo many emotions and memories. Great work mighty car mods 🙂. Thank you

Also that harness is made for S15 if you didn't get a bypass adapter for the igniter, R/W: Cyl 1, R/Y: Cyl2, R/G: Cyl 3, R/L: Cyl 4. This is Nissan factory colour wiring code for all cars of that era.

[@muhammedkhan9785]

You guys are awesome and doing a toned down build(less work) for the channel is refreshing and also does not stress marty and moog so hard. It cool to me cause after the RB Fairlady you two did alot and this car just made me so happy and gives new enthusiasts an easier way of simply getting the car right rather than 900hp with twin turbos and full built monster! Well DONE MCM

[@2loudspeakers]

This is going look class! Cool and timeless. Although I was wondering what a front/ rear "bar" was, and then I copped on that you meant the "Bumpers"! 🙂

The joy's of suffering from depression & anxiety is that the ONLY thing that seems to make me these's days, is KZbin. I've suffered from it pretty much my entire life and I was suicidal twice, but that was due to my ex's. When they left, so did my suicidal thoughts 😊 I'm a sparky and I really should of listened to my mate Tom and moved to Australia. I also should of listened to my nan and got the car I was going to get, but I bought another bike instead. So, back in 2013, I went out for a ride and the weather was absolutely PERFECT 👌🏻 The time was 16:54, I was riding alone and had the rest of my day planned out but you can probably guess. It never happened 😕 I really wish I'd of bleed out at the scene because I would of died doing something I loved! 😍🏍💥 Even thought I do hate my life so much, I'm not suicidal anymore and haven't even though about it since my 2nd gf. The ONLY reason why I’m still here, is due to my girls 🐈🐈😍😘 Something which is really annoying and VERY frustrating is having a brain injury. It must’ve taken me around six weeks to learn the alphabet again. Also getting really annoyed and pissed off with someone because what's coming out of your mouth ISN'T what you want. I know my injuries could’ve been a HELL of a lot worse. Like I could’ve ended up as a cripple or had a very severe brain injury. All of the thing's I used to love and enjoy doing, are long gone. I know this is sad, but the only happiness I have these's day's, is watching yous guy's n other people who I really enjoy watching. Even though my mum forced me out of the house so I could go over to my mum's to have the very first BBQ of the year! I still felt so miserable and depressed. I just couldn’t wait to come home, get into bed and watch youse guys 😄 It's the very first thing in the past couple of days, that’s made me happy 🥲 I'm sorry for waffling on but let me know if you want to hear my story n that if I had my accident IN Australia. I reckon I’d still have my leg n would be able to continue on BEING a sparky 😪 FML 😞 I'm crying right now as I can't forget the past and I DESPERATELY need to forget the past, so I can have a life again 🙁 I reckon I’ve spent the last couple of hours making, tweaking, editing, deleting and I'm very sorry for bringing the mood down on something which is amazing!!! What a car 👍🏻😁

[@TheManLab7]

I'm pretty sure your a scammer and I've reported you because it doesn't come up as the usual MCM and it looks way too good to be true. But if I'm wrong, then I'm sorry lads. Could you please just message me like everyone else does? Because only then will I believe you.
