bud, u can find a much nicer one than that for the same price locally. That was u can see it for urself and test it out b4 u buy it :D

Can you show me where you can get late model 180's for that price locally? Ive been on carsales and the majority of them are over priced.

Cheers

If you're wanting that car on prestige motorsport just for the bodykit and wheels (which look ordinary IMO anyway), then go for it, but be prepared to spend a couple of thousand on top of what the listed price is, if there is anything wrong with it.

You can get plenty of clean late model 180sx's for that price locally, if its just body styling you're looking after then look into how much it will cost to get the look you're after, on top of the price of a local one. Compare it to the imported one and make a decision whether the risk is worth the saving in cost.

Nah the wheels dont interest me but I have always like type x model 180's especially in white. Alot of type x's are priced quite a few thousand more than that which was the reason why I took a 2nd look at it.

Thanks for your reply.

That black one is nice.....if only it were in QLD

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
