Hi all

Selling my 1993 180sx, red in vgc, 105.000kms hardly driven, 2nd owner since imported in 2002, still have the import papers, fully complied and registered in vic. plenty of reg manual. engine is fully standard apart from rear muffler and has never been boosted wich is quite rare these days.

the paint is in good condition see pics and the interior is excellent, it has s14 s2 front seats and it still even has the original tape deck from nissan.

standard shift knob and steering wheel in excellent condition, in these pics the car isnt even washed

the car is always garage and looked after and was only modded as i wanted to start to get into drifting but before i started to modify the engine i decided to sell it..

im at work so i dont have my receipt book with me, but ill write a few things down off the top of my head and re post later when i get home if i have missed anything.

exterior

- side skirts

- rear pods

- wangan drift wing $$$

- 17"white powder coated wheels

- cant remember what the brand of the tyres are but they are practically new and cost me over a grand, have receipts

its got fully adjustable camber and caster kits, new shockers and springs, full underbody sway bars and a skyline brake upgrade kit, as i said theres plenty more but i just have to wait till i get home and re post.

but seriously, this thing handles superbly, its easy to say but you cant imagine untill you drive it, it stops on a dime too..

i tell you now, you will not find one like this at this price, i have nearly $10,000 in receipts as proof and all it needs is performance mods and off you go racing.

i am firm with the price a as this is a great starting point, its priced cheaper then a standard 180sx 2ltr, yet has nothing to be spent on handling, usually the last thing on peoples mind.

as i said, its a bargain for what it is, any questions and your welcome to ask

cheers

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • 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.
