When the Black 180SX’s development went beyond the sweet spot I started searching for another chassis that I could put my learnings into. I found this CA18 silver over grey 1989 Nissan Silvia for sale, it seemed like a clean slate with some great modifications and I went to work.
Having a registered car that I could drive to the track was a dream, one that wouldn’t last for long.
The CA18 had some significant modifications but it just would’t make a decent amount of torque, it made good power but theres nothing better than an SR20 to provide great torque.
I ordered a set of brand new TE37’s from Japan and selected 17x9.5+12 and 17x10+18 and once I added 10mm into the rear lower control arm I found the perfect fitment.
In the quest to get low I raised the rear strut tops and tubbed the front fenders, something that I would go onto do on my 180SX.
Get anytime access to the best Fabrication Courses, learn the staple skills of fabrication all the way through to roll cages and turbo manifolds.
The car was featured in both HPI and Drift Battle magazines.
In 2012 I pulled the motor and gearbox from the PS13 along with the seats and other parts to build the Hilux, this would be the last time that it had a turbo engine it. The next phase for the PS13 was an overhauled chasssis and an NA SR20 motor, something I wanted to do for a long time. More on that soon.
