Hi, selling my 180sx as the bottom end bearing in the engine has let go and I'm at uni now so I have no money to fix it... I was previously a mechanic and still have access to a workshop, so all maintenance was done by myself. Car was cared for and serviced at 5k intervals at most. I think the engine let go due to not having a tune...

Car handles brilliantly and feels very solid for a close to 20 year old car. Way better then my last 2 180's. Owned it for about a year, bought it off a mechanic who did most of the mods on it. I have receipts for most of the work done/parts including the bushes. Only work I have done on the car, other than maintenance, is I had to rewire the ICE ignition system, whoever previously installed it did a shocking job.

All that needs to be done is install a new engine and ideally get a nistune or something similar. Would make a great P plater car. Full import papers provided as well. May have forgotten some stuff. If you have any questions call me (Tim) on 0433 046 780 and ill try to clear them up. I'm located in Campbelltown.

Modifications:

Steering and Suspension:

- HSD HS type coilovers.

- Whiteline front (adjustable) and rear swaybars.

- Whiteline camber bolt kit.

- Upper Rear Adjustable control arms (rose jointed).

- Adjustable front castor arms (rose jointed).

- Bushes replaced.

- Noltec subframe mounts and lock washers.

- GK tech aluminium steering shaft spacer.

- ROTA RB wheels 17x8. I think the rears are 8.5 inch wide. All tyres around 80% tread. Front = Nueton N8000 Rear = federal 595SS

Brakes:

- RDA Slotted rotors.

- Unknown pads, have never faded on me....

Engine

NOTE: Engine doesnt work, has done a bottom end bearing. With this basic setup it made ~150kw@the wheels at 14psi. Previous owner dynoed it at a TAFE.

- Fake carbonfibre airbox with K+N pod filter

- 2 Blow off valves (one stuck, one working)

- ICE ignitions system with bosch individual coil packs. I talked to the guys at JEM about it and apparently it is a good system for large power engines. I have no idea why it was on this car.

- Full 3 inch exhaust. Not too loud.

- Hybrid FMIC.

- Blitz Dual SBC boost controller.

- D1 spec oil catch can.

Body

The body is in reasonable condition, no rust and the car is straight. Small scrape at the LHR of the car (picture below) and the front end was too low and kept hitting the front bar up, due to this the front guards have started to tear up and the front bar isnt in great condition. (Pictures below). I have raised the car up since. Very dark tints. Has a mongoose M80 alarm system and central locking.

Interior

Late model interior (not type x) in good condition. The car will come with a JVC headunit that has a bluetooth attachment. (Bluetooth attachment isnt installed). Calcium deep cycle battery installed at the rear left of cabin. GK tech steering wheel with removable boss kit. A pillar boost gauge. "Super cool" blue dash surround :-p.

    • That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)  
    • MBS206:- The windows start to slowly open themselves. GTSBoy:- Battery is new since Dec. 
    • I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
    • The consult isn't even OBD1. It's a Nissan Consult. Proprietary.   Re read everything I've said. I specifically say, put down the laptop/tablet. Understand, and review the issue first. Logging voltages is the same as logging the converted value. Things like O2 that you say to log, is unusable for this, whether it be the voltage, or the value the ECU thinks.   The fact you don't know how to diagnose without looking at the computer, is exactly what I've said multiple times is the issue for why techs these days can't diagnose the fun issues with cars.
    • Breather for it. If it's anything like the GTRs it should run up to the top of a bellhousing bolt.
