I’m considering buying a business, so regretfully, I need to sell my 180SX.

I bought it at the beginning of the year (so I’ve only owned it for around 10 months) off the original AU owner – he bought it in back in 2001 - so only two owners in AU! A few years ago, the previous owner had a complete engine rebuild done using only top quality parts and Jap brand goodies bolted on (Tomei; HKS; Apex’i; etc). Since I bought it, I’ve done a 32GTR front brake upgrade with full 5-stud conversion; suspension (Cusco; Whiteline; Ikeya Formula), and had it re-tuned. It has been looked after/serviced by Andrew at SX Developments, and serviced/tuned by Indy at IS Motor Racing. It has never been tracked, and is hardly driven! It is kept in a garage all the time, and is overall in pretty good condition for its age – it even has the original flare and original 180SX floor mats!

1993 ‘Red Top’. 155,000kms on chassis; 25,000kms on engine/mods.

Original OEM black in excellent condition (no fading, hardly any body blemishes at all).

Sunroof

Stock interior (dash/plastics in excellent condition; seat bolsters a bit worn).

NSW rego till July 2013.

All mods are under 25,000kms old with receipts for almost everything.

Rebuilt and forged engine:

- Venolia pistons; eagle forged rods; grant chrome rings.

- ARP head studs; ARP crank bolts.

- Tomei rocker arm stoppers.

- Tomei metal head gasket.

- HKS ‘step 1’ cams; HKS adjustable cam gears

- HKS GT-RS turbo (genuine) with HKS adjustable actuator on Kaminali s/s exhaust manifold.

- HKS 740cc injectors; HKS fuel pump.

- SplitFire ignition system.

- Trust/Greddy Type R bov.

- Trust larger sump (genuine)

- Z32 AFM

- Brand new Apex’i 80mm air filter (not fitted yet).

- Brand new oil catch can (not fitted yet).

- Nismo clutch and lightened flywheel.

- Blitz intercooler kit (painted black).

- Apex’i radiator cap.

- Brand new radiator overflow bottle (not fitted yet).

Full 3” stainless steel exhaust:

- HKS dump pipe

- 3” front pipe into 3” high-flow cat

- HKS Super Dragger cat-back exhaust with Magna-Flow twin-tip muffler fitted (original HKS Super Dragger muffler also available).

Brakes/ Wheels:

- Full S14 5-stud conversion.

- R32 GTR front brake upgrade with aftermarket rotors and Ferodo DS2500 pads.

- New rear pads.

- AVS Model 6 wheels - 17x8 +35 (225/45) front; 17x9 +35 (235/45) rear.

Suspension:

- Cusco Zero-2 coilovers (height/damper/camber adjustable) in excellent condition!

- Cusco front traction rods.

- Cusco rear camber arms.

- Ikeya Formula front tie rods with TuneAgent tie rod ends.

- Whiteline swaybars F&R.

- Rear polyurethane sub-frame ‘pineapples’.

Electronics:

- Apex’i Power FC and hand controller.

- Apex’i boost control module (controlled by the Power FC).

- HKS turbo timer.

- High-end alarm system with central locking/keyless entry.

Body:

- Original black in excellent condition.

- Genuine OEM 180SX Type X front bar with side extensions (and genuine lights/blinkers). Bar and extension pieces could do with a respray, but its not too bad.

- Veilside side skirts.

The car currently makes 225rwkw, however it’ll easily make around 250rwkw with more boost. The HKS actuator needs to be adjusted to a higher pre-load for it to hold higher boost to redline – once done, it’s an easy 250rwkw+.

As per above specs: $15,000, or $14,000 with stock suspension/arms.

Optional Extras:

- Cusco 5-piont bolt-in roll cage (add $400).

- Recaro SR3 front seats (pair; red) with genuine Recaro drivers side rail – not fitted (add $700).

- HKS oil cooler with filter relocation kit – not fitted (add $400).

- Apex’i twin-core radiator – not fitted (add $200).

      I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
