Hey guys, so I'm new to this forum. I'm looking to buy a 180sx, but not many options are arising. I'm willing to build it myself to an extent but I'm unsure. There is one car available, good condition, body is straight and engine is good, but it isn't registered and it's yellow stickered (ride height and a few other little things). The other options is a 180 with a built engine, but needs a big end rebuild. The body is straight (needs a good deal of paint work) and the interior is good too. So I'm stuck between the two.

So which one would be easier to do? Registering and taking the yellow sticker off?

Or buying the other car and buying an import sr20det and slapping all of the mods from the broken engine on?

Cheers guys

Wouldn't take either option unless they were incredibly cheap tbh..

They're both around the 4.5k mark give or take, would that be considered cheap for a 180?

Wait until you find a better one = winning. Buy either of those and u will be kicking yourself.

Yeah there are a few better ones but they are more expensive.

    • And that's a massive problem, because deadshits will deadshit and give you false details. At least in these days of mobile cameraphones, it is trivial to take photos of any ID they are carrying at the same time as the 300 photo extensive documentation of the state of the vehicles that I recommend even for minor incidents. And you get photos of the person's face, any visible tatoos, etc etc, while you're at it. Then you try to avoid mentioning that you're fully capable of making explosives of various power levels and will wreck their shit if you are forced to hunt them down.
    • No, I don't remember the exact reasoning (was 20 years ago!) but the cops didn't end up supplying it to us either. Actually my mother went through a similar thing recently where she was hit when stationary, flustered and didn't get address (she got plate details, name, phone and insurance company, but not address). Person who hit her blocked her number and their insurance company (naturally) would not provide any details. Her insurance company also required her to pay the at fault premium because she did not have the address, cops did not help as it is a minor civil matter (they said their only course was if the other driver had left the scene of the accident without providing any details). She only ended up getting that refunded because they happened to be insured with Suncorp and she was with APIA so same company owners. For some reason the address is critical in insurance companies recovering money from the at fault party
    • If you're driving something like an R32 through to R34, no chance of meeting Euro4. Euro4 came out in 2006, and car manufacturers back then were complaining how hard it would be to meet those regulations. Not a chance a vehicle 10 years earlier is going to be compliant.
    • I presume it would take more than just slapping a big modern catalyst on the exhaust? It's interesting though, looking at the old sales brochures and listings it does not mention anything about emissions. No one cared.
    • Yeh nice, looks like their part of keep it reet? Will have to swing past. I'd much prefer someone actually look at my car and custom make a part, then get a generic part online and hope it works.
