Hi all,

Selling my daily 1997 180sx Type S/ Type X

I drive this car almost everyday, if not the bike, car has served me well for the last 2 years but time to move on to bigger and better. Car was originally very modded but i brought it back to standard to drive to work without issues of being pulled over.

Car was bought cheap off a friend so i never bothered to really tidy up the car, would suit someone who wants a cheap type x or a p plater who wants a Type s.

Currently a turbo car but i can supply the car with a non turbo engine installed instead of the turbo motor.

The car is a Factory Type S (Non Turbo) but the car is running factory turbo gear.

Year: 1997

Milage: 130 xxx, km's

Engine: Blacktop SR20DET (Non VCT) Turbo is currently a T25g (no idea why)

Transimittion: 5 Speed Manual

Colour: Red

Interior

Very well maintained & clean interior with only a few marks overall

Alpine headunit and front splits

Pioneer & fusion rear speakers

Factory Seats and carpet in excellent condition

Factory floor mats (drivers side worse for wear)

Factory Leather Airbag steering wheel (slight cracking on the top)

Dash in excellent conditoin ( has 2 guages water temp and oil built into the passenger side of the dash)

Mechanical

Engine is showing its age, or maybe just turbo is but it is not the quickest 180sx out there, Would recommend comp test or turbo test before purchase as i dont know what is or is not wrong

Sump has a minor oil leak (will pass roadworthy without fixing)

Engine can be a tad noisy on start up if it has not been started in a while

Exedy clutch installed a while ago, very smooth gear changes and its not too heavy to drive in traffic

Standard suspension in good condtion

Standard brakes with good pads

Body

The body is rough but not too bad, Car was bought with a widebody front end as such front was brought back to standard shortly after i bought the car so the whole front end is black (doesnt look bad having a red and black car but i dont support the bombers so its ideal)

Factory Type X Side Skirts

Brand new front bumper and side pods

Bonnet in exellent condition and front guards are in good condition

Rear of car has clear pealing off

Roof has bad hail damage but 80% can be removed without paint

Usual car park dints on the car

Basically the car is not perfect but it is priced accordingly. Can be driven as is with no issues or brought back to mint the cost of the body work or basis for a build of some sort.

Prefer people to come and see the car rather than request pics. But i will put up pics shortly.

Cheers,

Adam

    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around with a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
    • Yep, this bit another local owner. I caught it before putting the transmission back into the car, what I noticed was the pressure plate fingers weren't flat and even. It's more obvious with the pull style clutch because the throwout bearing ring was visibly not flat once everything is put together. Nismo should really update their instructions to call out this specific detail. I'm not even sure the clutch as-shipped orients everything properly.
