The Nissan 180 SX green machine
Considering that this car is almost fifteen years old it does not look like its bad shape, in fact because it has been worked on for some time, but in keeping with the style and design of the original car that we have grown to know and love so well. The car has been under the microscope of the import builder who has taken this baby on.
Under drivers foot is access to 550 HP and that is nothing to turn your nose up to, this is car that responds to every single little shift in direction and speed. Making it a very interesting prospect down at the track, because it is not always the good looking cars that are best ones when it comes to performance, this is an exception.
This Nissan 180 SX has been born to drift and it is a skill that has to be acquired through practice and more practice, having a car of this shape and with the right amount of power means drifting comes as second nature to the car, the driver needs to hang on and press the pedal to the metal.

OBX Blue Adjustable Cam Gear – 89-90 Nissan Silvia/180SX CA18DET Engine
Product Features
CAD designed and CNC machined from lightweight 6061-T6 billet aluminium
Advanced 5-bolt pattern to eliminate change of cam gear timing
Allows for single degree adjustment to a maximum of +/- 10 degrees (advance/retard)
Laser cut degree marks for easy reading and adjustment
Hard-baked gears teeth prevent wear under the toughest conditions
OBX Precision Adjustable Cam Sprockets are a wonderful method of extracting extra power from an engine. Adjustable +/- 10 degrees, these sprockets allow the user to tune the engine for more power in low, middle or upper RPM ranges. This adjustment allows the tuner to move the peak power along the engines natural power band by advancing or retarding the cam timing. CAD designed and CNC machined from 6061-T6 aircraft grade aluminium, the adjustable cam sprockets are extremely lightweight yet able to withstand extreme abuse. The hard baked gear teeth prevent wear and tear and our advanced 5 point locking design keep belt slippage from occurring. OBX Precision Adjustable Cam Sprockets are a great way to dress up an engine and at the same time tuneable to reach an engines true potential.
