I'm currently planning on making a 180sx to complement my evo's weakness on akina. The only thing I know about it is that it rocks in akina and it kicks @$$ in usui. I was hoping that you could share your knowledge on the 180sx in the following:

1) which tune?
2) which parts would i need after BT?
3) how does it fare on wet?
4) what is its weakest course?
5) Shift points (is the one posted good or is there another one that's better) ?

Your insights and tips would be very much appreciated. Thanks...

just avoid happo and AWD courses that are wet
get bomex spoiler and enkei wheels
60>65>70>75

Thanks for the info. Man, I hate happo. I really suck there. Is it really that bad in wet, like, altezza or mr-2 bad? How about uphill? How does it fare uphill against, say, an fc?

B tune id say...and its good in wet for a FR...especially akina down wet...and yes its pretty strong on up

1. C
2. i didn't buy any
3. good in wet in usui and akina
4. iro
5. i think the shift point is 6>6.25>7>7 or 7.25

i don't fink those shift points work properly...

i've tried it b4 and 6.25 is too weak for 2nd to 3rd....

jus do da normal 6-> 6.5 -> 7 -> 7/7.25 depending on track

parts....no clue.....

weakest prob on tsuchi wet....iro wet...

i use B tune myself....i dunno da difference tho...only got it for it phat wing....

Does it really suck big time in tsuchi wet? Do I have to avoid tsuchi wet at all costs with the car? If i do, it's gonna be a big problem. Most challengers in my area will almost always take you to tsuchi, and sometimtes in wet. But they run around 3"03 or something. Do you think i have a chance against them in the 180?

PS: yeah, that phat wing. Loks like it belongs to a jet or something...

Maybe 3'03 doesn't sound too good.

Yah, i know, 3'03" sucks. But if it's wet and i use the 180, how would i fare against them?

I run 3'01" with my evo in tsuchi... and i know that i run slow... i look at other threads where people post times and their always under 3'00". i almost always hit the 1st turn at the rollercoater or, if not, i brake hard and lose lot's of speed. I gotta do more TA's...

if u run 3'01 in evo, u'll hve problems even on dry wif da 180sx....

akina da only place it shows for wet...

Usui left of right are also good for 180SX, i got one of it.

yea usui too....lolz

kinda 4got bout it b/e jus thought it was known by all

Usui left of right are also good for 180SX, i got one of it.

Usui could pretty much be good for most Nissans.

i use an A-Tune 180sx with 600k pts - i'd say tsuchi's one of its worst courses (and i just suck at that course) going outbound (the one with the rollercoaster turns at the end, maybe its inbound), it cannot take those rollercoaster turns for butt cakes -- irohazaka is a pretty decent course for it, but it'll lose to an evo everytime =( beats fd's though

Thanks for the tips, guys. I guess i really have to practice more to get better, especially in tsuchi. that's where everyone takes you in battles.

i fink u jus dunno tsuchi well enuf..

180sx on iro actually sux....and does NOT beat a fd...time wise dat is...
battle wise it a totally different track...

and tsuchi it not dat bad...
rollercoaster u can do around 140-141.....in 5th gear...

it takes a while to get use to tho afta playing around wif a evo on both those tracks...

yaeh, i tried it earlier. it "feels" different...

Tsuch wet and Iro Rev wet are its only BAD maps. Everything else i run well in and beat most people... Give Akagi dh wet a try, you'll love it

As for shift points, i can't remember points, i'll take notes next time... But i'm focusing on GT4 akagi uh wet atm....

BTW, anyone wants a 180 battle and im right here...

hah sure fing..... let go...(ur talking bout TA battle rite?? bit hard if in diff place )

well i'll start if it TA battle:
akagi dh dry - 2'25'696

i drive a 180sx which is sooo close to ft its not even funny, but my ta is not that good compared to the ppl that i compete with here in houston. i currently do a 2'54"318 ob and 2'54"510 ib. average in my eyes. i was b-tuned with stock hood, c-tune spoiler, c-tune rims, and kenji's muffler. i just switched to c-tune just to see how different it is.. and its a lot more drifty on tsuchisaka, but i love it so far. i feel that the 5th gear is a lot weaker when i switched tunes. i used to be able to enter at 158 and exit at 165 but now i enter at 156-7 with a decent run and exit at 161. i always mess up at the rollercoaster, i need to practice harder at that one spot its probably the main reason why my times suck i just wished i can keep up with my friend and his evo4 his current time is 2'44"xxx

i have no liking for the rollercoaster turn, too. i can do a good run and mess up at that part almost always. one wrong move and i RAM the wall. stupid, stupid

ur friend i fishing you, his car is much better on tsuchi...
and '55 is pretty bad, practice it....i'll see what i can get with my 50K 180SX, and see if i can give you some pointers
