Hey everyone,

Have my 1991 180sx for sale it has as follows:

143,000 kms redtop motor (oil changed every 5000Kms)

New Exedy heavy duty clutch (replaced 1500kms ago + new gearbox oil)

Also has Uras Super sticky rear handbrake shoes.

Genuine ARC airbox,

I would not have given up this car accept for the fact that we needed a bigger car. Have a 6 month old and need to fit him in the car easily. The 180 was not getting driven much other than to work 1-2 days a week.

Problems with car are, (have to disclose before anyone comes out)

Some the sphincter of the universe backed into front bar with tow ball and cracked paint, so front bar will need to be touched up or resprayed. (only paint damage, bar is ok)

Dash board has few cracks in it, (but do have a cool dash mat to cover it).

Car runs great, but sometimes idle does drop low under brakes. So will need a service.

I also have some spare parts for the car, I can offer these for free to the buyer depending upon the price that the vehicle is sold for (see below for price):

B&M short shifter, (Paid $390)

White line rear adjustable control arms both top and bottom. (Paid $400)

extra front lip to go under the Type X front bar. (Paid $400)

Am hoping for around $7800 for the car (this would include the above parts). I was initially seeking more for the car before I realised that the bar needs to be sprayed and the car needs a service etc. Will consider all serious offers.

So if anyone likes the car shoot through a pm or any questions and i will answer.

And I live around the Blacktown area (Western Sydney, NSW)

Thankyou for your time

Matt

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
