Posting the photos and build details first, the story comes later Speedchampions Scale Nissan 180sx type S Speed Champions-scale Nissan 180SX Type S. Mismatched body panels. Custom body kit. Built using worn and weathered LEGO parts for a rough, well-used look. Broken taillight (explained in the story and real car photos). Mismatched headlights. Functional pop-up headlights. Opening hood. Detailed turbocharged engine. Sometimes I don’t choose what to build—it chooses me. I’ve been building JDM cars in LEGO for years, and I rarely plan my next project. Usually, I see a car, instantly fall in love with it, and then I just have to recreate it. Back in June, I was lucky enough to visit Japan. On my last night in Tokyo, while walking around Shibuya, I came across this incredible Nissan 180SX. The mismatched body panels, drift style, aggressive body kit... it had so much character that I couldn’t just walk past it. The owner was standing next to it, so I asked if it was his. It was. I told him that I don’t actually own or drive a JDM car, but that I build them in LEGO. We chatted for a while, exchanged Instagram accounts, and right in the middle of our conversation everyone’s phones suddenly went off with an earthquake warning. (Funny enough, I never actually felt the earthquake!) Before leaving, I took a lot of reference photos of his car. He even invited me to a local car meet, but sadly it was my last night in Tokyo and I had to decline. When I got back home, I knew exactly what my next project had to be. This is my recreation of はーと’s 180SX in LEGO Speed Champions scale. I tried to capture every little detail as faithfully as possible. And here’s the promise I made him: I’m going to build two copies. One for my own collection... and one to hand-deliver to はーと the next time I return to Japan. Some cars are more than just cars. Some become memories.

Yes a 90s Nissan 180/200/240sx

Hi @MKJoshA i didn't expect this could be Frontpage material
-
Inspired by Drift missile cars No hood. No bumpers. No respect for perfection. Just a chassis built to take hits and keep sliding. Working Pop-ups Front camber dialed. Mismatch wheels, unpainted panel. Twin-turbo swap fully exposed. Intercooler out. Nothing hidden. Full cage. Bucket seats. Hydro locked. NOS ready. This isn’t clean. This isn’t pretty. This is a car you throw sideways without thinking twice, exactly what a real drift missile is about

[MOC] SXRG34 Super Silhouette (Cyberpunk Nissan LBER34 Skyline)
Sérgio posted a topic in LEGO Sci-Fi
Aggressive front camber inspired by drift setups, exposed bodywork with metal plates and visible piping, and silver metallic elements giving it that armored industrial machine feel. A front-mounted exposed intercooler, twin turbo exhausts emerging from the hood, and a headlight replaced by a functional air intake push the performance concept even further. Orange neon accents on the front wheels, visible roll cage, and a rear-mounted intercooler complete this extreme engineering package. The cockpit? Pure Cyberpunk — more machine than car, fully integrated into a digital dystopian control system. -
Thank you so much for the mention, but I can't take full credit, "my nose" was also copied/inspired, the OG designer is @raised
-
Thank you! LLMTC guys are great! I had a wonderful time with them in Sittard Blind wheels using round 2x2 tiles but they don't move Team Work
-
Thank you! Yes, it moves and can pull a lot. I have a video with the same model (different colors) pulling 10-meter-long (from 1:30min)

Thank you!! Thank you for the kind words :) Thank you so much! Thank you! Thank you!! It has 2 Powerfuntions Train motors (the 3rd axle is fake), the amount of the details is to hide the Train motors :P There is an older version, but this is the OG of this specific type of nose, Nez Cassé = Broken Nose in french In 2023, I attended a private LLMTC event. He took a photo with 15 models. At that time, I only had three “nez cassé”: two electric ones (Orange and Red/White) at the front, and a diesel one (the same model as in this post) at the back, among several European variations, from Raised, Erwin and Nicolas TBX Thank you!. I used regular PF train motors. The pivot is between the 1st and 2nd axle. The 3rd axle is actually fake. It’s one of the best models I have to drive, actually. Here somewhere at 1:30 minutes you can see the Yellow version (same bogies) running and pulling a 10-meter-long train without any issue, I use mostly R104 and above, but this model can turn on R40 curves and switches and can even "drift" :P Regarding the grills, they are both grills and “ladder”-style, and they are only on one side of the locomotive; they are not symmetrical. (Only found Orange Bluprint) And, Yes the Orange is the better one, I don't like this full black Portuguese Medway livery IRL, but I gave it a chance on Lego Form.
-
Thank you! I have all the Portuguese Nez Cassé models (Electric and Diesel) in every Exsiting Color Schemes. This one is a diesel model from Alstom but built in Portugal on mid 80s The nose is the same design as the NS1600/1800 both based on the French BB7200 Im using the same design/techniques from One of the LLMTC members (Raised)

This LEGO model is my attempt to create as accurate a replica as possible of the Medway 1907 locomotive, part of the Alsthom 1900 series, built at 1:45 scale. The model is fully motorized using LEGO Power Functions with BuWizz and features working LED lights. It is built from roughly 2,000 pieces and weighs around 1.2 kg. This is the third version of this locomotive that I have built. Earlier versions included a test livery (EVA) and a version in the original CP orange and brown colors. Each rebuild allowed me to refine both the appearance and the mechanical layout. This project was created purely for personal enjoyment and learning, with the intention of achieving the closest possible representation while keeping the model fully functional. Kudos to Gerbrand (Raised) for the Nez Cassé nose design that I'm using for the 5th time

This custom LEGO Speed Champions MOC represents the Nissan Silvia S15 LB-Super Silhouette “ATHLETE”, built with a rotary engine setup. Unlike the regular version, this one includes a rear-mounted intercooler, a turbo exhaust outlet on the hood, and rear-exit exhaust pipes. The model is built in 9-wide scale, which made the construction far more complex than the usual 8-wide builds. It features a fully detailed interior with a roll cage and is completely studless for a clean look. Instructions for the base model are available on Rebrickable, and the stickers are from Brick Stickers Shop. This particular version includes unique custom details: LED lights that turn on when approached by a magnet Custom Yokohama Advan tire prints made by Fowartstickers 3D-printed Nismo wheels created by GtCreasCars and hand-painted by me Instructions and stickers are available here

Thank you!! Thank You, I admit that the front design was hard to create ,and i wanted to gave up several times :P Cada I think...

A crazy project I’ve always wanted to build! This fully studless Espace F1 fits four minifigs, features a detailed V10 engine between the rear seats, Simulated rear suspension with F1 springs, and custom 3D-printed wheels made by Brick The Brick— complete with authentic blue nuts on the left and red on the right! It also includes DIY functional LED headlights that switch on and off by magnetic proximity, and custom vinyl stickers designed by a friend of mine and professionally printed by an online printer shop This car was a legend in Gran Turismo 2, so I just had to build it to sit next to my Suzuki Escudo.

Here’s my latest creation — the Mitsuoka Le-Seyde, built with around 300 LEGO pieces in Speed Champions scale! Inspired by the original’s outrageous and theatrical design, this build celebrates one of the most eccentric cars ever made. Fun fact: This car is made from a Nissan Silvia S13 “This is the most inappropriate thing ever made.” -Richard Hammond

Inspired by just 15 seconds of footage from the Youtube video “Rally A-Z – U for Unusual / Uncommon Rally Cars!” (2:00–2:15). Yes, the only reference I had was 15-second footage and a Thumbnail It’s definitely not the most exciting rally machine like a Sierra, Impreza, Lancer, or Stratos, this one is a slow, beige station wagon… But that’s exactly where its charm lies. My dad actually owned one, and I wanted to capture that quirky charisma in LEGO form. Even though it’s the Speed Champions scale, it doesn’t use the usual SC-specific parts (mudguards, wheels, etc.). Instead, I packed in as many details as possible: - (non)working suspension and mudflaps, - Road Map (no GPS) for the co-driver, - speedometer, - steering wheel, - full rollcage, - two spare wheels instead of rear seats, - fire extinguisher, - wipers, - a tiny, messy 1.2L gasoline engine, It fits two minifigs, and yes, both look like they’re panicking. I also used some rare elements, like pirate hooks and chromed parts for a proper vintage touch. The stickers were custom-designed by my friend Tiago Vasconcelos , also based only on that short clip. We added some personal twists: left-hand drive instead of right, our names as driver/co-driver, my initials and birth year on the license plate, plus the ACP (Automóvel Clube de Portugal) badge and the Webnial logo, the Portuguese company that has been printing my decals for the last 3 years. Unusual, a little boring, but full of personality—that’s what makes this Escort Estate rally build special.

This build is inspired by a fantastic artwork from Thai artist Kantaro Gashilo, who reimagined the classic Nissan Skyline GT-R2000 KC110 Kenmari with a Liberty Walk body kit, Bosozoku vibes, and a full-on Cyberpunk aesthetic. After chatting with him a bit, I promised I’d turn his vision into a LEGO MOC – and here it is. The scale is close to Speed Champions (1:32), but the overall look felt much more at home in the Sci-Fi section than City. I also incorporated a few unusual parts: The disk pieces from the Tron set (21314-4) Stickers from the Go Brick Me set (41597-1) Rear wheels recreated with shurikens A mix of sausages and a horn used to simulate the exposed intercooler hose Originally, I wanted the hood entirely in sand blue, but a Bricklink seller accidentally sent me medium blue parts instead. Surprisingly, I ended up liking it – it gives the car a slightly weathered, lived-in look, which perfectly suits the cyberpunk theme.

Thank you all :)

Here’s my LB-ER34 Super Silhouette SKYLINE #23 built in LEGO Speed Champions scale (approx. 1:32). This project started with my very first red/black model and has been improved over the years, leading to this unique white & yellow version. 👉 Over 400 pieces 👉 Custom stickers designed by my friend Tiago Vasconcelos and professionally printed on transparent vinyl by webnial.pt 👉custom Wheels by brickthebrick 👉 100% original design, created from scratch – I didn’t copy anyone, unlike some so-called “designers” out there who sadly sell builds that were copied from mine (and others) What do you think of this new version?

Hello! Rat Rod in Speed Champions scale, inspired by the Caterkiller from Welderup Las Vegas. Metallic silver body, rusty grille, and custom copper parts from Chrome Block City. Turbos built using the new Mini F1 wheels, and hand-painted GT CREAs rims for that extra flair.

Thank you!!

Inspired by the 3D work of adry53customs at Instagram From the explosive fusion of 1950s glam and post-apocalyptic madness comes Elvis — a bold, lifted, Bright Pink Cadillac-Baja hybrid recreated entirely in LEGO. Inspired by the wild 3D rendering by Adry53customs, this custom build channels raw attitude, retro charm, and off-road insanity. 🧱 Build Highlights: Speed Champions scale, packing serious style into a compact footprint. Dominant color: Bright Pink, featuring ultra-rare parts like Wedge 2x4 and Inverted Brackets 1x1 in this elusive color. Loaded with chrome parts by Bulbul , bringing flash and flair to every angle. Hand-painted "Elvis" logo and flame decals using Posca markers, giving it a unique, handcrafted personality. Raised suspension, oversized off-road tires, and an exaggerated engine block give this Cadillac the soul of a trophy truck. Elvis is more than a car — he's a character. A glam-rock monster on wheels, ready to tear up the desert or steal the show. 💬 “Classic doesn’t always mean calm. Sometimes it comes back in hot pink with monster tires.”

Oh wow! First of all its a honor, that something i did inspired you, because you also inspired me a lot! Both look awesome, and that natural tire weathering fits the Ratrod vibe very well!
-
The purple is my creation, a mix between the Nissan GTR R34 Skyline and the Eva Unit-01 from the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Thank you both, the Escudo it's an "old MOC"
