Cheap s13 180 sx drift car freshly rebuilt - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

Cardiff R33 · 21st December 2007, 11:52 AM

Well after owning this car for about 3 months and hardly driving it i have had a slight change of plan and it means selling the 180sx i bought to learn to drift in. Its a g plate 180sx with a mint shell, no welding ever done to the sills or arches, is a small bit of rust under the spoiler but thats it, the origianl clocks only show 54k and lots of that was kilometres in japan. The car originally an auto but was converted to a manual and re built when i bought it, but the bottom end failed again so is being re built as we speak. The car, since i bought it has:

Been painted matt black (by can but looks good)
had drift stickers put on it
Been fitted with 5 spoke bright orange 17" alloys
Been Lowered
Had new turbo fitted
Had full rebuild and service
Had rear shocks replaced
Had rear seats removed
Had an LSD fitted to aid drifting
Had Harnesses fitted to front seats (seatbelts still remain)
The car has a digital dash with heads up display but this is not working but being looked into but car can com with that dash or a uk spec or maybe both
Has aftermarket filter and exhaust

The Bodywork was great, and a deep blue colour but i wanted it more drift looking so matt blacked it but its an ideal drift car for anyone especially a learner! I have no pics to post as yet but have one on my mobile i can forward to you. The car is in the garage being re built but obviously can be viewed etc and should be as reliable as any once finished. I kept it to stage one as it has more than enough power to drift and the lesser the power the more reliable it should be

Feel free to pm any questions you should have, bearing in mind its got 9 months MOT and 4 months tax, has air con, electric windows etc and is a rare 180sx not a 200sx i am looking for £1500

Regards
Ben

sweeney87 · 26th December 2007, 02:14 PM

does this have an sr20

Cardiff R33 · 26th December 2007, 10:28 PM

no a ca18

Smokey 1 · 27th December 2007, 01:41 AM

why would an 180sx have a CA 18 ??????????
Isn't that the difference between the two, the 200sx had a CA18 and the 180sx had an SR20?

Quote from wikipedia, engine was changed in 1991

The name 180SX was originally in reference to the 1.8 liter displacement CA18DET engine used in the chassis. In 1991, however, the engine was upgraded to a 2.0 liter model, offered in two forms: the naturally-aspirated SR20DE engine and the turbocharged SR20DET variant. Although the new engine was of larger displacement, the 180SX nomenclature remained. A common body modification to the 180SX and its sister car, the North American 240SX fastback, is the Sileighty conversion.

right some some recent pics but please bear in mind the car has been sat and not cleaned for over 2 months and its still totally rust free but i will go over it with some mat black before sold, the mark on the bonett is where i ripped a sticke off that i did not like so will be painted over for the sale, and excuse the bubble wrap in the back!

180SXs are indeed rare to find with a CA18 - but unfortunately that makes them much much less desirable, lol

Still, if it really is a rust-free taxed and mot'd car with a freshly rebuilt engine, with a bit of haggling someone might pick up a bargain here
