vic Pearl Blue 1991 - 180sx (sr20det)

[5LEEPER]

G'day,

The time has come to sell the missus' 1991 180sx as we have recently purchased a new car, and we no longer have a need for this one... it is currently taking up space in the garage and costing us money on insurance and registration.

We have owned the car for about 4 years now from another lady owner and has been babied around ever since. We purchased the car as an auto and the motor was on the way out, but the chassis was good. 2 years later we then spent a whole bunch of money doing a black top SR20 (With very low kilometres) and manual conversion with a bunch of other small additions and the car has been great ever since. I have listed the specifications and modifications below;

***ENGINE***

- Black top SR20 engine from S14 - has done only 60,000 kilometres

- T28 Ball Bearing turbo

- Front mounted intercooler

- Apexi air filter

- Full 3" aftermarket exhaust by Exhaust Technology

- GTR fuel pump

- HKS turbo timer

- New batery, replaced 1 year ago

***CHASSIS/BODY WORK/INTERIOR***

- Custom pearl blue metallic paint

- Chassis has done approximately 229,000 kilometres

- Full vertex series II body kit

- Sunroof

- Flared rear guards

- Clear side indicators

- Ganador style side mirrors

- Venom black faced boost guage and oil temperature guage

***WHEELS/SUSPENSION***

- White G-MAX 17" Wheels with 80% tyre tread

- Fully adjustable D2 coilover suspension

- Adjustable caster rods

- Front strut brace

- HICAS lock bar

- 25mm bolt on wheel spacers (x4)

Overall the car is in good condition, it has been her daily driver for the past 4 years and served her well. Has never been involved in a crash while we have owned it and there is no evidence of any pre-existing crash's prior to our ownership. The chassis has done quite a few kilometres, however the motor has done very few, approximately 60,000 only. Before this motor was put into her car, it made 208 rwkw with the same set-up on about 1 bar of boost. Since the conversion i have tuned it down to only 8 or 9 psi, as she has no use for any more power... so its safe to say the car and engine have been babied around for the past 4 years.

Everything runs well and she never has any issues with the car, however like any 18 year old car, there is some minor problems. I would rather be honest with the sale and state everything that we know is wrong with the car now before someone coming out to have a look at it and finding out later. All the known issues are mentioned below;

***PROBLEMS/ISSUES***

- 2nd gear syncho's appear to be in bad condition. 2nd gear crunches slightly on up changing and crunches quite heavily on down changing if the revs are not matched correctly. 3rd can also crunch slightly if the revs are not matched or vehicle not double clutched on gear changes.

- Paint work on the front bar and side guards have several large chips where they meet and inherently rub on each other. Also a few other small chips and cracks on front bar

- Small scratches under the petrol filler cap on the driver side rear quarter

- Area of the bonnet's paintwork clearcoat is starting to lift (Approximately size of 10cm coin)

- 3 cracks on the top of the dash (Sun damage)

- Steering wheel is worn (However still fully operational, just looks old)

- The car has the occasional rattle and squeak from interior which could easliy be fixed once it has been located and with some time/effort

I have tried to show most of these issues in the photo's below.

***PRICE/CONTACT DETAILS***

So in basic summary, this is a good overall car and a reliable daily driver with minimal tasteful modifactions. The car has never been thrashed/driven hard or taken to the track. It also has registration until December 2010.

We are looking for a relatively quick sale as it is only taking up garage space at the moment, so reasonable offers will be considered... but please don't low ball us, i'm not interested in un-realistic offers.

Price - $11,000 o.n.o

***PICTURES***

- This is an old photo before we put the suspension or wheel spacers on, but it shows how the front bar can look with a re-spray

- These are current photo's taken last week. ***NOTE*** The side indicator hole toward the front bar is no longer a hole, it has been filled with another clear side indicator

- Here is the paint colour under the sun light

- Here are some of the highlighted issues with the cosmetics

(Rear scratch under fuel filler cap)

(Front bar paint missing - This is the worst of it *Again note that the indicator is now in the hole*)
