180sx Forum ?

[BASHO]

As some would know I flogged my R34GTT a couple of months ago in a moment of friggen idiocy and bought a BMW slimescheiser 318is , that little kraut wagon has had the A and I'm now looking for a new ride and am leaning towards a 180sx but I can't seem to find a Aus forum for them, can anyone help me out and post a link ? I'm sure there must be one.

I actualy know nothing about them so if anyone wants to throw me a few tips as well it would be much appreciated.

By the way is there any Skyline model that is a 4 cylinder turbo ?

http://www.nissansilvia.com/ = 1 of the biggest forums in AUS for Silvia's and 180SX (S-Chassis)

4 Cylinder Turbo Skyline = Nissan Skyline DR30 RS-X and RS-X Turbo C, models

The engine it used was a FJ20ET = 2lt inline 4, Turbo.

Thanks for the replies, I'm still undecided about what car to get next .

On one hand I'm wanting to get another Skyline but an R33, on the other a WRX because I've had two of them before and they're fun and I know the car well.

However--I'm finding that the current crop of WRX owners appear to be congenital liars as of the three I've seen so far all described as ruly ruly good, had majour inescapable faults, 1x timing belt so bad it was flinging into the cover 2x dodgy clutches 2x stupidly wrong BOVs, paint described as good , made me wonder what he thought bad is, and on and on.

Normaly this kind of shit doesn't bother me but when I'm putting in 4 hour round trips to see this crap I get pissed. the only thing, appart from shit rides, that was consistant was the ask was way to high, these people have more price ego than Big Donald Trump , frakin unbelievable.

So after reading how good the blacktop 4 banger in the 180SX is I thought I'd have a look at them however I know nothing about them so I'm going to post on here for a bit of advice as I can't make head nor tail of the Sylvia site.

I think if you want to step into an S chassis then go for the S15. They are very cheap nowadays, still very chuckable and fun like a 180sx is but so much better in every way. Also I think going from the R34 GTT to the 180sx might feel like going back in time as the 180sx feels and looks very dated. Not saying they aren't good cars, but really if an S15 is an option, go that.

BASHO, how much cash do you want to spend? I actually have an S15 in Japan going real cheap...
