Considering Moving Interstate for a job offer. Car needs to go because I'm getting serious about my future. Has never disappointed me.

Make: Nissan

Model: 1993 180sx

Colour: Metallic Red

Rego - October 2008

Insurance is covered by Just Cars. Never made a claim.

Transmission: 5 Spd Manual

Odometer: 170,xxx (clocked it to 000 today).

Bits: All electric options, space saver, original Jack(nissan jacks are horrid), globes and replaceables all taken care of.

Engine:

- SR20DET Red Top running t25G with no problems ever. All EGR gear there

- Both Gearbox Mount and Engine Mounts have been replaced.

- HKS Power Intake

- Hi Octane Air diversion Plate

- Sump has been bashed out to maximize capacity and painted black to look nice

- Gel Cell Battery with less then 5000kms *may be removed if needed*

- Full Turbo back exhaust system. Car only smokes white from perspiration in the winters. Haven't seen ANY sort of smoke in the two Springs I've had it (so turbo, water,oils seem to be good nick), let alone summer.

-X-Force Cat Converter put in 5000km ago. 02 Sensor changed at same time.

Handling:

- Front Whiteline Castor Bushes (less rattle then pillowball gear)

- Front Whiteline Camber Pins

- Rear Whiteline Camber Bushes

- Upper Whiteline Bushes (expensive labour...need to drop subframe to do them. Drives like a newer car!)

Interior:

- s15 Rear View Mirror

- 180sx Floor mats

-Alarm Installed by Brett from PCA. Very comprehensive install.

Exterior:

- Nismo Front Bar

- M- Sports Sideskirts

- Nissan Rear Pods

- H2 Globes (the ones down from the ricey globes on hondas), so may be H3, can confirm if needed, same as the stock H4 but useful.

- 16 inch Advan Tri Spokes powdercoated white wrapped in Pirelli P6000

- Comes with all centre caps -original

- Resprayed - Roof has been resprayed Black, against the body's Red.

- Centre Garnish Painted Black, but still leaving parkers visible.

- Non Smoking Car or anyone who does smoke hasn't gone near it (besides maybe the mechanic(can be proved because ciggie lighter doesn't work))

- Worn/aged Interior Parts have been replaced with OEM parts.

- As many worn rubber seals have been replaced as possible, however some are impossible to get (outside door seals, sunroof seals).

- Front Windscreen Seal has been replaced and still has lifetime warranty. Reason for this is because original seal was painted over by a previous spray job and looked horrid.

- Controller for Headunit mounted over ashtray (no one smokes in the car =P )

- Manual Controller for Amp disconnected

- Booklets/Manuals for SR20det in glovebox (specific manual for 180sx can be provided in softcopy)

Over $10,000 spent on this car. I've watched over as many jobs as I can and am well hated by alot of workshops for making them do things twice. Serviced more often than should have been. Most work done professionally at well known trusted workshops. One of the cleanest examples. Handles very very well, and runs and starts as well as a new car.

Looking for 11,500 o.n.o

Options:

Upgrade Options:

- Bilstein Shocks with new bumpstop and dustcovers ordered to match:

-Whiteline Springs

- Front and rear Whiteline Adjustable sway bars with extra notches (so equal to roadholder gear)

- Whiteline Pineapples

- Front Nissan Strut Brace

- Rear Cusco Adjustable Strut Brace

- Front RDA slotted rotors

Add - $1500

-Fet Turbo Timer

Add-$40

Sound

- Pioneer HeadUnit

- 6.5 Inch Component Splits (old school Phillips which replaced the Sony Xplods previously in the car)

- Jaycar Amplifier 4x100

- Running Boston Acoustic Cabling (or hertz...can't remember)

- Rockford Fosgate P1 12" Sub, Mounted in Sealed Box (Could be bigger box I guess)

- Running to Stinger Connections (cabling is probably worth more then these connections. However Autobarn was the only place open that night and this was the most expensive stuff they had)

- Running off a GelCell battery

-Add $500

Power FC

-Add $1000

**Car is selling for 11,500 ono without extra bits. Great condition stock car to mod your own way!!**

    • 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
