Grant’s (yokota180sx) Nissan Stagea

I bought the car almost a year and a half ago. When I purchased it, it was completely stock. over the time from then to now I have been working on it, off an on, and it has gone through a number ofchanges from exhaust to stereo to quite a large number of rim/tire combiniations.It sat for about 6 months while I was building a VIP car which changed after having to get rid of it for reasons I didn’t like. I have since brought the Stagea back to life.

I have run it during two track days so far this year. Both horribly ending with broken parts and a fire,Regardless, I have it put back together and will be giving it another try.

Future plans? Get a new hotside for the turbo to decrease spool time and cams to aid in power as well. other than that, she is good to go. Next year I plan to compete in MSC in japan and hopefully do moderately well after I have some more power to the wheels.
