time to sell the 180 and get something different.

heres a run down; i bought it stock and have done all the mods myself, apart from the obvious stuff.

1991 180SX-sunroof model

5 speed manual SR20DET

Rebuilt with forged pistons by Chris Milton Engines-receipt included.

Full 3 inch turbo back mandrel bent exhaust with hi flow cat and stainless steel muffler-receipt included-still with warranty

FMIC

Brant AA02A alarm with triple cut, glass break sensor, battery back up siren and 2 remotes-receipt included

Turbotech boost controller-set at 12psi

Rear Tein coilovers. stock struts included.

Locked hicas, with lock bar and all lines and hicas pump removed all the way to the front-done properly, not looped back at the rear of the car, hicas light has been disconnected, but will still come on if power steering level is low. like i said, done properly.

Rear strut brace.

Speco 2 inch boost, oil press and water temp gauges.

turbo timer-not installed

battery box and cables/terminals for battery relocation-not installed.

K&N pod filter

A/m steering wheel.

Kenwood h/u, pioneer 4-way 6 inch speakers in doors, kenwood 6x9s rear.

Rw front bar(black), i hit a rabbit driving home and broke a chunk out of it, so zip tied it back together.

Type x front bar(white)-currently on the car-car will come with both front bars.

Nismo side skirts.

vented headlight cover

now for a few minor problems.

no rear seatbelts. got the buckles, but not belts.

minor scratches, dents around the car, bit of paint fade on the bonnet-all been there since ive had it, nothing that cant be expected of a 15year old car.

speedo is out by 20k. ive got an rsm, so dont use the dash speedo. may include rsm in sale, havent decided yet.

sunroof rattles a bit, but is fixable.

serviced every 5000ks. running royal purple oil and using genuine nissan oil filters. always run on BP ultimate.

it had a dyno tune before the rebuild and made 126kw on stock boost. i have a printout for it. hasnt been tuned since it has been built.

never been on a track or defected or had any other problems. ive owned it for about 2 years and other then over heating once due to blocked raditor it hasnt skipped a beat.

i have a folder full of receipts for everything thats been done to it, from the engine receipt right down to the wire used to wire up the gauges.

it will come with some stock parts, intercooler etc, and a bunch of other stuff, (unused battery box, turbo timer etc)

im sure ive forgotten some stuff, but ill put it up as i remember.

ill put some up to date photos up soon, but all thats changed is the front bar.

should have no trouble selling this, we get inquiries for 180sx's all the time.

difficult to get them at a good price from Japan.

good luck with the sale!

couple of things i forgot to mention;

either of the 2 front bars can be resprayed for serious buyer.

and i would like an R32 GTR, so ill accept swaps plus cash your way if you have one that suits me.

to keep this car as legal as possible ive done the following;

removed bov and replaced with stock piping.

removed turbo timer.

moved guages below the dash(legal).

only thing that can it can be defected for is coilovers. but with no bov or turbo timer there is nothing that will draw attention to the car, so getting pulled over isnt a common occurance.

and ive got hardcopy technical manuals.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
