I see you like purple cars

Haha actually I don't, I like white cars. The 180SX was a bit of an unicorn, came in that stupid 80s blue, so old man and I sent it with GT-R LP2 Midnight Purple. Current R33 shitbox was always supposed to be a track car so never got any love, however that might change ?

Stay tuned and browse my shop:

Because you want to travel back in time when the car scene was sick and having 200kW was bawse as fuark ?

But I have the same urge after seeing my old car photos. Imagine a 180SX Type-X with a RB swap and a Samsonas.

I dont want to go that extreme, just a clean one with factory body work and an sr20 with the normal bolt ons 

Now that will be a unicorn.

I went looking for a clean unmolested S chassis and the only clean low km ones were $30k.

Most of them look bent, abused, neglected or modified to within a inch of their life.

There was one red S15 which was like new for $30k, which by the way, is what I should have got instead of the 86.

Edit: https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2001-Nissan-200SX-Spec-S-S15-Manual/SSE-AD-6384247/ this looks nice, I believe this exact car, or one blinding close, minus mods, was for sale for $30k  5 years ago.

Love yellow S15s but I have a soft spot for the s13 particularly the Silvia 

Gives boners... that's why.

Well 180SX still is a S13 too haha.. would love another SKY180 (those plates aren't taken at the moment.... hmmmm).

 

Shameless plug ?

Look at the dents from hail, still would prefer a nice modern BMW.

Looks good. What's it like?

Smooth, kind of reminds me of a Yamakazi 12 but much smoother. 

This is why the car doesn't progress anywhere lol.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
