Hi,

We have decided to sell our much loved 180sx. Had a major service done when it first arrived in Australia last year, November 2005. The engine is going strong and we have had no problems with it, ever!! Compression test done last year showed equal compression on all 4 cyclinders. The car is raised to stock height, but you have the option of dropping it a little with currently installed height adjustable coilovers. The paint job is 4 months new in high solid black, making it one of the best looking black 180sx around. We have never had problems with the police with the car. Never been pulled over before. The car has never run anything more than stock boost throughout the time we have owned the car. The car is seldom driven, only on the occasional weekend when the weather is good. Always garaged. Currently insured with Shannons for an agreed value for $18,500. Insurance premium is $997 a year. Excess is $500.

Abit about the owners: We are matured owners, both working professionals. My Mrs is a Vet and I am a scientist. We do not thrash the car. Car is always treated with respect and well taken car of. We want to sell because se feel this car is not suitable for us. We prefer a more comfortable sports car, not a dedicated sports vehicle.

Forgot to mention. 100,000km service conducted December last year, so all fluds have been changed. The car had its major servicing done at RE Customs.

Thanks,

    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
