Just finished helping a friend of mine tear down a 4EFE, he couldn't believe how anal I was with labelling and sorting stuff.



I'd start tearing mine apart but I'm still waiting on parts (turbo, internals, injectors and such). Don't really want the motor sitting around in pieces and risk losing stuff.

Hey, I just found this thread :) GOOD LUCK! Im so jealous, I cant get a 180sx around my place of living.

Are you gonna make it for drifting? Or just daily ?

How come you can't get a 180sx? Where are you from?

It's main job is to be a drift car but if my insurance company agrees to insure it, I'm gonna use it as a daily.
My turbo (Tomei arms M7960) has a pretty good boost response so it'll be tolerable for daily use.

Yeah they're expensive considering what can be bought for the same price in the market, but their products are pretty top notch in terms of quality.

What sold on me on the M7960 was the torque numbers that it puts out before 4000rpm.



350 lb*ft at 3500RPM? yes please.

I can get a 180sx. I live in Poland, but its more expensive than for me to get a bmw e30. Another thing is, engine's here are totally used up and here so getting 180sx requires getting a new engine, prices of 1jz, rb's or even a ca20dett are much higher than getting a 3.5 litre or a 4.4 v8 bmw engine. Plus there are more spare bmw parts around my place.

Never the less, im plannig to buy a s14 in a year or two :).

Do you have a youtube channel meaby ?

That makes sense, better to just go with the E30. I haven't personally had one or driven one but a friend of mine drifts an E30 and he loves it.

No youtube channel, sorry. I really can't be bothered to take videos of progress on the car, I barely have time to work on it as it is. Maybe I'll take videos when it's finished!
