Hellaflush Kansai 2012 part 3: Nakkan`s 180


I have been following Nakkan-san`s build of his 180 for quite a while now. I remember when he first had the sticker bombed front fender, then he painted it for the first Hellaflush at Fuji. At that time he was running SSR Koenigs. This time around he decided to rock a set of equally baller Equips and wider fenders.

First the suspension, Nakkan runs Buddy Club Jr spec with 13kg front and 11kg back. For the front he shortened the stabilizing links and added a Nismo Power Brace. He also added a set of Yashio Factory Kiwami core support guards, The front member has been reinforced by welding various locations. Also, he extended the lower arms and added a set of Ikeya Formula control rods. If you are wondering what -9 degrees of camber looks like just look at his front.


 The rear features the full spread of aftermarket arms, the rear member has been raised by 20mm and the diff has been raised by 10mm. The back gets negative 7 degrees of camber.


 Everything you see on the car is stock metal. The fronts have been pulled out 30mm and the rears, the rears have been pulled 60mm and have been raised by another 40mm!

I`m sure everyone is wondering about the rim specs, the fronts are 18x9.5j +3 with a 28mm spacer and the rears are 18x11j -3 with a 8mm spacer. Tires are 205/35 and 245/35. The engine features the regular upgrades to keep the SR healthy, check out the zokusha type airhorns. 

Yup, Nakkan is a pretty cool dude
