So this is the Koguchi Power RPS13 driven by Yoshinori Koguchi. This was his D1GP car back in the earlier 2000's. And it's a fine replica.
I visited my garage in Mount Earuna where this beuty was held. Got some nice front fenders. And the paintwork was made by a guy called T0fu from MasterSkinnerz.
Here's a great picture of the car on the roads of Earuna. These are some quite nice rims by Nismo
The tail lights are quite special and unique not seen in many 180sx's. It was all custom made for this car.
Lets get to the engine. You can clearly see that this is a SD20DET engine with small modifications.
We asked Koguchi few questions about the engine. And he actually moved the dashbord back and the engine more to the center of the car to get that best balance of the car. So the dashboard is actually moved back,
srry but its a SR20DET not a SR20DE. if its a SR20DE it would mean it doesnt have a turbo and it has a really large one ;]
