Hey guys and gals

Bought this car back in 2015 with the intention of turning it into a tidy daily driver, but no longer have the time or motivation to complete it. Plus, have too many cars now at this one needs to go to a new home. Still on 128k, runs, drives, pretty tidy overall, ready for blue slip

Originally bought from a user here on SAU (Pac) and here is the original for sale thread:

Some things I've done after buying the car:

- Replaced the rusty bootlid with a spoiler-less version (still have the spoiler, will include in the sale)

- Fixed the surface rust in the boot floor (plus a few other surface rust spots)

- Replaced the suspension with set of Bilstein B5 springs and shocks

- Replaced the head unit which died shortly after I bought the car, with a brand new Kenwood mechless BT/USB head unit

- Removed the front mount IC and replaced with with a stock side mount (front mount core had some damage)

- Tidied up the headlight wiring

- Replaced the missing GT Badge

- Replaced auto trans solenoid pack with a brand new OEM solenoid pack. Although trans still reports "Line pressure solenoid" fault - possible wiring issue and beyond my skill level

 

The bad stuff:

- Has not been registered since 2012

- Has had front end damage and the repair isn't top notch

- Auto box has a solenoid issue mentioned above

- Has a head gasket leak. Previous owner reported coolant loss but there is no evidence of any external leaks and there is the odd bubble in the radiator while engine is running)

- Front bar is scraped and was hacked up for the front mount

Will post fresh pics on the weekend. Asking 4k as is, not really keen on offers as I'm losing money on it already and given the overall good condition i recon its a pretty fair price

PM for more info or if you have any questions

    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
