FOR SALE/SWAP: 1990 Nissan 180sx

Asking Price: 8000 $7500 ONO . I'd probably actually preffer some kind of swap at this stage as I'm just looking for a change at the moment, tell me what you've got.[/b] e.g. Civic Si, FC RX7, MX-5, Skyline (NA or turbo) etc.

Reason for sale: Looking for a change, the car it's self is excellent, It's one of the cleanest, most stocko CA18det S13s I've seen.

Kilometer's: 15X XXX presumably genuine Kms, due to the integrity of the rest of the car.

Manual or Automatic transmission: Manual

Engine Type: CA18DET

Modifications:None barring a Razo Turbo Timer

Complianced: Yes

Registration: Yes, about 9 Months NSW rego (4 months was a typo)

Crash History: No Accident History to my knowledge.

General condition of vehicle:"

This car is in incredibly clean, stock condition (don't come up often like this). The car has obviously been taken care of throughout it’s life and not thrashed (Rare for a 15 year grey import sports car). Both the body and mechanicals are great.

The only problem I know of in the entire car is that there is a very small amount of rust under the rear spoiler in the hatch (still passed blue slip). The rest of the car is rust free. I'm very confident about the car's condition and any type of inspection is welcome.

Features:

- 5 speed manual gearbox

- Factory LSD

- ABS (A very rare option that may save your life)

- Super Hicas (4WAS)

- CA18det turbo motor (goes very well, still plenty of life left in it)

- Wine red duco (awesome condition)

- Genuine RAZO Turbo timer

- JDM Sony CD player + Factory AM FM Radio and cassette player

- Original floor mats

- Front lip spoiler

- Fog lights (another rare part as these are often smashed by stones earlier on in life)

- Factory option rain deflectors (Rare and very cool looking)

- Tyres have about 75% tread

- Vehicle has been well maintained.

- Timing belt exchange was completed at 100,000km at a Nissan dealership.

Contact detail's: PM me for my phone number or to ask q's. Please no time wasters, I've had this car on the market before and had lots of this and just decided to hang on to it. However, I'm more than willing to answer any questions of genuinely interested buyers, don't be shy if you're properly interested, I don't mean to sound gruff.

Car is available for inspection, please contact me to arrange a date.

LOCATION: About 20 mins from Lismore NSW and an hour south of the Gold Coast.

cheers

Piccies: (The pictures are a bit old, but they reflect the car's current condition nicely)

Just to clarify after a few questions I've been asked:

- The car actually comes with 9 months rego not 4 as previously stated.

- The car also does indeed come with hubcaps and not mags. However, I have reason to believe that this is an upper spec model (not the base spec which came with steelies from the factory) as this car comes with most major and minor options (including ABS which is very rare on early CA cars).

Ok, price has been dropped to $7500 ONO

Also please note, in one of the photos it looks like the rear quarter panel is a different shade to the rest of the car. This is not true, it was just that the front part of the car was sitting in the afternoon shadow of my house.

Cheers.

    • I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. The shock dyno actually looks pretty similar to Shockworks (from what I can surmise from a screenshot of a youtube video - and my dyno printout...) Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I've probably also altered toe and camber in a negative (detrimental) way. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
    • You reckon? I have to disagree. Notwithstanding that at some point we may all be forced to do this to our cars if we want to keep driving them, there is absolutely nothing about an electric-converted-previously-IC-car that is ever good. EVs that are built by OEMs on platforms that were originally IC already suck, let alone the shitty outcomes that result from doing it as a retro to something that was actually built as an IC car. This is because the platform really needs to be designed to house the battery in a useful place (ie, down as low as possible) and the motors are properly located relative to the wheels that they have to drive. Converted platforms already suck at this. But when you try to shove sufficient battery capacity into a previously IC car, you can't put it down on/in the floor, because that space doesn't exist. You can't find enough space where the fuel tank used to be (if it is an inboard fuel tank) and you don't want to hang it out behind the rear axle line if you had a rear fuel tank. And there's not enough space in the tunnel if you still want to use it for anything remotely like what it was originally used for. The engine bay is too big for a motor, and you'd really prefer that the motor for the rear wheels wasn't in the front engine bay anyway. And there's not enough room where the diff was for a proper man-sized E motor. And then.... there is the complete lack of soul and emotion that is provided by EVs. There are some cracking restomods out there. Like the Alfaholics GTA thingo. But it is petrol powered. Look at the alternative EV version of a GTA restomod by Totem. it is jaw droppingly beautiful. But by all reports is is objectively awful to drive, despite having 600 HP or something, simply because there is nothing there. It sounds like a sewing machine or a leaf blower. It should scream and wail and make the hairs on your neck stand up. Oh, and it's 1500 bloody kg in a car that was <900kg when new. GTRs are heavy enough as it is without pushing them up to 2tonnes worth of pork.
    • https://www.dezeen.com/2025/01/06/nissan-electric-r32-skyline-gt-r-godzilla-sports-car/   I reckon this is pretty cool. Lots of other Resto mods have turned to ev power.
    • hahaha @joshuaho96 the most action it gets is when I have to drive from West to SE VIC to meet the fam. Even then, it;s on highway cruising speeds
    • don't know anyone in this thread, but i just found it, read the entire thing in a few hours, realized greg is still posting progress, and just have to say, this is awesome. it looks awesome. 100% right about the Uras kit making it a pain to get on hoists...have the same kit on my 34 and it takes six 2x4s and race ramps to do it without taking parts off. this reminds me exactly of this thread. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/r63-amg-the-unicorn-of-my-destruction/110824/page8/
