NEW MEMBER SAYING HI ALL!!! :-Þ - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

NZDriftn180 · 02-12-2002, 07:08 PM

Hi all
I am a new member to this forum and I thought that I would say hi to everyone and tell you a bit about myself.
My name is Justin and I live in Auckland, New Zealand (you know the place that has the AMERICAS CUP hehe).  
I currently own a 1996 Nissan RPS13 180SX Type X.
Mods done to date are 3inch 5zigen exhaust, air filter, sard bov, gauges and stereo.
Still more to come hopefully like some wheels, external wastegate and some coil over suspension and BIGGER TURBO.
Right well I have run out of things to say so I will end it here but I wold love to hear from people with similar interests and the love of the mighty Silvia.
Justin.

Welcome, bloke <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>. (I picked that up at the Outback Steakhouse washroom halls!)
Yeah... I just thought I'd make an attempt at saying something funny... I know I'm stupid. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

So... anyway... welcome! Most members here are from the true-Silvia-and-180SX-deprived United States of America, and it's awesome to get information from the few lucky people from Europe and Australia. So... welcome... happy posting!

As mine is a import from Japan, there was a few different options of engine when first bought.
The type X is the one with the mighty SR20DET engine in it.  Hope that helps.
Will post pics soon.

Lucky! Welcome aboard.

*sykikchimp* · 02-13-2002, 08:15 AM

Lucky dude.  Type-X is a sweet ride.  96' was a good year.  Cool new bumper, tail lights, and wing.  Your car, is what I want my car too look like.  (Well, that or with that Super hot C-west body kit, and type-x wing.)

What kind of turbo you plan to upgrade too?  You have a t28 now right?  maybe you'll go to a T3, or T3/T4 hybrid?  

Hope you enjoy it here.  

by the way, If you would know of a place to pick up a Type-X wing cheap, and in good condition, I would love to know.

NZDriftn180 · 02-13-2002, 02:41 PM

Thanks All,
I can probably find parts here for what you want a lot cheaper than you can buy them there in the States.  I then can ship to you as a gift and you pay no duty on them.
Turbo Upgrade:  No my car comes with a T25 and I wil be upgrading to a t28 soon so I can keep the stock internals.  If I want to go any larger I will have to spend a whole lot of money.
I want to spend more on cosmetics first.
Thanks anywayz
Let me know if you or anyone else needs any parts and I will give you a quote for it.
Justin
