Nissan 180SX JDM import

Competition drift cars seem to come in two flavours these days. The first is the manufacturer backed cars, which although are rare are the ones to beat. The second is the homebuilt effort which probably accounts for 99% of competition drift cars on the planet. This is one of those cars that was built the hard way. The car first appeared in 2009 in it's previous red WKD colours. It was a season of mixed luck for Nigel, he picked up his first Prodrift win in a borrowed 180SX (His old car incidentally) at a rain soaked Ennis. Throughout the course of 2009 the 180JZ would suffer several engine failures, each coming at a time when he thought the car was finally right. Most people would of given up and returning to the trusty SR20 bit Nigel fought on and for 2010 finally has a car he can launch a championship challenge with.
