Why The Nissan 180sx S13 Got a Nose Job
There is a whole language buried in the S-chassis world, and it was born out of crash damage. Sil80. Onevia. Strawberry face. Say them out loud and they sound like nonsense. Learn the rule behind them and you can name almost any Nissan front end swap on sight.It All Started With
It had the suspension, the cooler and some other bits. It was very much ready to be the Hero car for FindGrip.com
I was pretty stock apart from the front being a Skyline.
This thing had so much potential. I regret not putting in the time to make it amazing.
Added Sky80 to My CarsR32 Skyline front on a 180 if it had the GTR front bar it would have looked sick. This was the Original FindGrip.com (Drivesome) Driftcar that never made it to the track. After a couple of nice night drives a blown turbo just broke me. I flogged it off 3 or 4 months after buying it. I just was not in the mood or had the money for a full rebuild.
Added Gold80 to My CarsDam the 180 is a sexy car. This was my Daily when I had my WRX set up as RWD because i keep blowing diffs and driveshafts so needed and daily to get to work. #sortofstock #daily #fun #jdm #import
Every time I see a 180 I want one again. In my opinion they are a real drivers car. You don't need money, you don't need a race track, you don't even need much skill. But you will always have a smile on your face. Also great car to work on SR20 is such an easy engine to do everything yourself.
