time to sell the 180 and get something different.

heres a run down; i bought it stock and have done all the mods myself, apart from the obvious stuff.

1991 180SX-sunroof model

5 speed manual SR20DET

Rebuilt with forged pistons by Chris Milton Engines-receipt included.

Full 3 inch turbo back mandrel bent exhaust with hi flow cat and stainless steel muffler-receipt included-still with warranty

FMIC

Brant AA02A alarm with triple cut, glass break sensor, battery back up siren and 2 remotes-receipt included

Turbotech boost controller-set at 12psi

Rear Tein coilovers. stock struts included.

Locked hicas, with lock bar and all lines and hicas pump removed all the way to the front-done properly, not looped back at the rear of the car, hicas light has been disconnected, but will still come on if power steering level is low. like i said, done properly.

Rear strut brace.

Speco 2 inch boost, oil press and water temp gauges.

turbo timer-not installed

battery box and cables/terminals for battery relocation-not installed.

K&N pod filter

A/m steering wheel.

Kenwood h/u, pioneer 4-way 6 inch speakers in doors, kenwood 6x9s rear.

Rw front bar(black), i hit a rabbit driving home and broke a chunk out of it, so zip tied it back together.

Type x front bar(white)-currently on the car-car will come with both front bars.

Nismo side skirts.

vented headlight cover

now for a few minor problems.

no rear seatbelts. got the buckles, but not belts.

minor scratches, dents around the car, bit of paint fade on the bonnet-all been there since ive had it, nothing that cant be expected of a 15year old car.

speedo is out by 20k. ive got an rsm, so dont use the dash speedo. may include rsm in sale, havent decided yet.

sunroof rattles a bit, but is fixable.

serviced every 5000ks. running royal purple oil and using genuine nissan oil filters. always run on BP ultimate.

it had a dyno tune before the rebuild and made 126kw on stock boost. i have a printout for it. hasnt been tuned since it has been built.

never been on a track or defected or had any other problems. ive owned it for about 2 years and other then over heating once due to blocked raditor it hasnt skipped a beat.

i have a folder full of receipts for everything thats been done to it, from the engine receipt right down to the wire used to wire up the gauges.

it will come with some stock parts, intercooler etc, and a bunch of other stuff, (unused battery box, turbo timer etc)

im sure ive forgotten some stuff, but ill put it up as i remember.

ill put some up to date photos up soon, but all thats changed is the front bar.

should have no trouble selling this, we get inquiries for 180sx's all the time.

difficult to get them at a good price from Japan.

good luck with the sale!

couple of things i forgot to mention;

either of the 2 front bars can be resprayed for serious buyer.

and i would like an R32 GTR, so ill accept swaps plus cash your way if you have one that suits me.

to keep this car as legal as possible ive done the following;

removed bov and replaced with stock piping.

removed turbo timer.

moved guages below the dash(legal).

only thing that can it can be defected for is coilovers. but with no bov or turbo timer there is nothing that will draw attention to the car, so getting pulled over isnt a common occurance.

and ive got hardcopy technical manuals.

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
    • i need a complete tail light for my R33 GTR if you have please let me know.
