I NEVER WANTED THIS TO HAPPEN! (CUTTING UP THE 180SX!)

[@jjcc2192]

Black piping and couplers is a smart choice. That chrome with blue couplers looked autozone chincy when it was mocked up in the bay.

[@mikesweet5848]

looks like a CX racing honda turbo kit haha

[@t_dduubb]

Josh is like Michael Scofield off Prison Break, we see the final product he sees every nut and bolt that puts it together. 🔥 work as always guys!

[@davidbeverly3463]

I absolutely love and understand that comparison 100% 💪🙏😎

[@CalderClan]

This is a brilliant comment! Well said

Officer Tom did you use that keeps sponsored products for your beard

[@mtboverholts253]

Hey Tommy your eye for that subtle wow is exquisite! This is hands down the best 180 I've ever seen. All your builds are wonderfully refined visions of our 90's JDM dream machines. Thank you for the content and inspiration!

[@mattfield7821]

Pilot hole first!!! And if your unsure drill a small 3mm hole in the rough area.check the underside, make measurements, rinse repeat till you have what you want.

[@polariman5693]

Additional tech videos would be sweet when doing parts swaps like the brakes and e-brake when forums like Josh said don’t explain/show it good enough. Part numbers and the tricky parts would be good to highlight with a quick over view of the rest of the process. Would be a solid video to go along with your other tech videos

[@andrewpacheco3541]

He said " measure 13 times cut once" lmaooooo.

[@jeffbowman7017]

Looking good, very tasteful! I personally would black out the radiator the same as you did with the intercooler piping.

[@Master_Psyper]

Tommy looking like he got hit with the dry ice blaster with the contrast setting🤣

[@joshuavargas8475]

if those came off the golf r, what is the pcd on them? still 5x114.3?

[@TarzanGTI]

Golf R’s stock hub pattern is 5x112

[@artcrizaldo962]

Hold up, did tommy really use some tools? 😂😂😂

[@JLandonM]

Lol not 30 seconds after Josh’s spiel on not assuming genders on vehicles, while removing the stock steering wheel “this is a big boy” 🤣🤣🤣

[@shokunin_era]

The wheel isn't a vehicle duh

[@edwinguy8877]

Hey man I’ve got the same catch can and the hoses start cracking immediately! Can is great, hoses are garbage

[@MGTZR037]

z32 99+ oem knob would be fire. same design as stock s13 knob just wrapped in leather with red factory stitching

[@BRENINARTHUUR]

Is there not a nismo or hks battery relocation for the 180?

[@IndianGC]

Can you go over the ebrake lines and brackets you used? Too much misinformation out there. Just FYI I have a raised subframe and 1pc driveshaft. Z32 2+2 lines with the gktech bracket doesn’t fit. The lines rub against the driveshaft and they’re too short to route on top of the bracket. Going to try R33 lines with the GKTech bracket next.

[@nzuncovered1845]

May I ask how did you raise the subframe?

[@IndianGC]

@@nzuncovered1845 look up subframe risers. Many companys make them but I went with PBM ones.

[@nzuncovered1845]

@@IndianGC Oh yeah I thought you may have actually modified the frame rails. You can also adjust the caster angle or squat using those risers if you make one end of subframe high and one end low, they used to do that with the Uras pineapple bushes back in the day

[@jonlyons3376]

I love this channel. Always have always will. Love the knowledge and the quality of the builds

[@kanenstuff]

I use a Odyssey battery in my 180SX it fits perfectly small and last for years.

[@Fraank84]

I used R33 gtst e-brake. It is the same as Z32 e-brake. But you must use the R33 cables and if you get e-brake parts from a car with the built in spacer in the wheelbearing house for the anchor bolt for the shoes and dont use those wheelbearing houses you will need to space the anchor bolt. You might just love that the best pre-made spacer I found for that, is made by Parts Shop Max 😅 This e-brake setup also fit and work perfect in my R33 GTR Brembo rear disc/rotors.

[@samrubio3983]

Momo Monte Carlo with the red stitch would look nice in there too. It's what I have on my Z31

[@not2intoutube]

First off, the car is sick! The only thing I would change is a little taller tire on the rear. It looks a little small but not necessarily bad. Awesome build man

[@mullittmustang256]

Japanese car brakes are always a pain, my 97 Legacy wagon is stuck over winter out of commission. Just from the bleeder valves on the rear brakes stripped out from rust, smfh 💀 gotta wait till spring to do my caliper conversion now

[@doktorzasinuse]

Can you paint the radiator shroud the same as intake and valve cover. Would look cleaner

[@Nick210]

Can you start taking credit card payments on the website, you chach.

[@zachariahrolfe]

I run a braile battery beside my intercooler piping. Great batteries and easy to source. They are a great space saver and should fit perfect for the area you are working with.

[@nzuncovered1845]

Cheers dude I just looked them up they are amazing batteries, they look far better than Odyssey and optima etc

[@angelmendoza1762]

What about the front lip? I know it’s near impossible to find but that’s the final piece to tie everything together

[@lucasdamask]

I think that steering wheel is a Personal Blitz. Don't know if you knew but Personal is the Racing division of Nardi, they are top quality steering wheels.

[@Himnothingmore]

Put that factory shift knob in a random order 🤟🏾 don’t chuck it T.

[@hammertimee777]

Hey Thomas, glad you guys took a paint brush to touch up the newly drilled holes. Almost nobody does this, including Throtl, which is fine because Throtl's cars will never see rain and are purely show cars. But many KZbinrs just drill holes into their cars and put a nut inserts in those holes. You have no idea man!

[@HugoHardinge]

Need to put some rubber trim around the hole in the battery tray

[@JCU84]

I’m running 17x9 +12 (can’t remember) but I rolled my rears. I think my tires are 225/45r17

[@PeterSalerno]

Cutting through the battery tray was like nails on a chalkboard. "They" is a head turner

[@Sleepr56]

How to Build the Perfect S13 Series is spot on

[@Nefarious_drivers_club]

Y’all are killing it as usual! The only things in this whole build I would personally change would have been a battery relocate and I’m not a fan of that steering wheel. Interesting coincidence they both show up in the same video. Either way, stellar car!

[@Rotary_Papi]

This makes me want to start playing with my 180sx again. She’s been sitting for a few years.

[@555iftyCal]

How nerve wrecking would it be for any other person to get filmed on essentially everything thing they do

[@governmentcalamari9785]

You know you have ocd when he mentions the finite details of not painting the freshly drill holes for the side skirts. And are relived when says it was done off camera.

[@Cfarm3r]

Tommy is the Tom Segura of the JDM world with his comedic whit.

[@MrOlskii]

so glad to see a tomei shifter in here i have one in my s13 cuz of you best knob ive ever used

[@andrewavery6798]

Dude you should show us that pile of wheels in the background. I love 3 spoke OG wheels. Oh and the x type is beautiful btw lol.

[@gzo313]

I was skeptical about the catch can location, but seeing it after hooked up… it looks snazzy.

[@nzuncovered1845]

You need edge trim or U channel edge trim for that intercooler hole

[@MrWayne__]

I’ve turned down a few good brands bc they over due lettering on their products. Badass quality but too much advertising when you want a simple oem style bay

[@dylanw2756]

Will you do the front lip? last piece missing fromthe typex kit!

[@timmartin6324]

Satin black ARC airbox for sure! That red filter with the black box would be killer!

[@GARAGESZERO]

Can’t find one!

[@Balakay9435]

Group size 151r battery looks like it would fit decent

[@BeamRider100]

That MAF will be fine for sure with the S15 turbo. GTRS turbo would be fine up to 400 easy.

is the uk included or exluded in the draw?

No can do

I must be getting old too I kinda like the OE airbox.

[@7MPower]

1:16 - anyone notice the gap between the skirt and the body?

[@Likethetacosauce]

Should powder coat that catch can wrinkle black to match the other pieces.

[@JoesBeef]

This is the most gender neural car in existence. Car looks tits

[@Tube4TTT]

They came off your golf R? So went from 5x112 stud pattern to a Nissan 5x114.3? Adapter of some sort?

[@GARAGESZERO]

Nope 5x114.3

[@Tube4TTT]

Did the US model golf R get different stud pattern to everywhere else or was it something you guys changed during the RS3 conversion work?

[@darnizzle8805]

@@Tube4TTT I'd assume they used "wobble nuts", or studs that went from 14mm hub side to 12mm wheel side. Plenty of people run 5x114.3 wheels on 5x112 cars.

[@ianm432]

Ol Ellllllzed did not touch up his side skirt holes he drilled on his 32gtr. The rust belt car guy in me hated that.

In the words of Tommy, “This car fucks” killer build!

@tommyfyeah yea I'm not sure either. According to my account on the site it hasn't been sent out yet. I just ordered it last week. But if it's going to hold up the process it's all good I don't want to throw a wrench in the mix.

[@kub2132]

Is the golf r not 5x112? What was done to make the rear wheels fit?

Secret

Yoooo paint the catchcan flat black like the the valve cover !!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Saying its prefect except for the fact it says radium is like saying the merch in your store is perfect except you branded it. Lighten up Tomothy 🌽. Killer build.

[@zarmohammed6100]

Lol @ not giving the car a gender! 😂

[@corymartin9841]

You should wrinkle black the catch can to match everything else in the bay

[@benjamindavidson632]

Interior needs one more thing. A non metal key. That tight wrinkle on the cooler pipes would be fire as well as end tanks on radiator and intercooler. Maf delete adapter with the stock air box would look better. Type x or 180sx logo front plate. Stock mirrors are good I'm glad you didn't do the overpriced boring ganadors. Also turn those clamps down on the catch can ugh hahaha

[@stevemassari8339]

Car looks great. Really nice oem plus. The wheel fitment is poor tho . Definitely the wrong specs for a 180 .looks very weak . Also looked like the hole you guys drilled was off. Part of the hole is exposed above the chassis leg? Not seen that before .

[@GARAGESZERO]

That’s how the template says to cut so you can insert it

[@ChinitFxt]

We need this car as a wall paper

Would have kept the stock intercooler piping location with a vertical flow front mount, but this is still a sick build.
