Manual, Turbo 180SX 162KW

Usual story, bought as a project car and I have run out of time, money and enthusiasm.

The plan was to build this up for track/hill climbs/etc. but I just don't have the time or money to finish it off.
Some mods have been done by myself, others were done by the previous owner.
The motor made 162kW on 14PSI and will make a lot more with cams + more boost.


Modifications:
Garret T28
Tuned length/"Spaghetti" stainless steel exhaust manifold
Front mount intercooler + piping
RB25 AFM
Power FC + hand controller
Random Dump/Front pipe
Xforce Cat Back
430CC injectors, EVO or GTR not sure
Bigger Fuel pump, possibly out of a GTR
R32 GTR radiator + twin thermo fans
Evo MR/metal bov

Lowered Springs all round, was told they are Tein
Nismo suspension arms in the rear end
Adjustable rear struts
Five stud conversion
S15 front brakes
Heaps of front lock - no idea what was done, setup for drifting.
GTR LSD - again not sure what the story is, maybe R32 rear cradle
17x8 Super Advans - decent tyres
Front strut brace

Fibre glass vented bonnet - rattle can black with lockable bonnet clips
Carbon fibre look head light covers
S15 drivers seat
Momo steering wheel
Gauge pod + Boost, Oil temp/pressure - probably work but not hooked up.
USDM? gauge cluster has MPH and KPH and is white. I have a standard one that can go with the car.

I'm told that the bottom end is forged, no idea when, who by or what went in it. The guy that tuned the car for me agrees that it probably is.
I have cams. cam gears and valve springs that I will throw in for the right price.
The body is a bit rough but as it was going to be a track car I really didn't give a shit.
NSW rego ran out last month. Overall it just needs a tidy up + a few little bits and you'll have a fun little 180.

Looking for about $5000 ono

Car is located in Canberra

PM me on here and I'll send you my phone number to discuss the car

Would like to point out that this car does run reliably, I used it to commute 550km round trip fortnightly for about 6 months.

I even got pulled over by the HP and NOT defected in that time.
