The Nissan 180SX
The Nissan 180SX was introduced between 1988 and 1998. It was often compared to the Silvia S13 as this was its sister model. The 180SX was available in either a CA18DET 1.8L Turbo, SR20DE 2.0L or a SR20DET 2.0L turbo engine. The SR20 turbo a.k.a SR20DET and the 5-speed combo is the top of the range SR20 180SX that you could buy. Overall, this car makes a great project car, being very rewarding and not too challenging to modify.
SR20DET 180SX
This engine uses a square 86.0mm bore and stroke to achieve a 1998cc swept capacity, while its compression ratio is 8:5:1. The max power is 150kW (at 6000rpm) and max torque is 275Nm (at 4000rpm).
DRIFTING
The Nissan 180SX was a famous drift car. We'd imagine that real care would be needed while driving on a wet road, though. The 180SX is also used in the motorsport of drifting. A famous example of this would be Yoshinori Koguchi drifting a Nissan 180SX at D1 Grand Prix competition at Fuji Speedway in late-2007.
THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR
The Nissan 180SX carries smooth body-lines all the way around and is well proportioned - having a very low slung shape. The pop up headlights is also one of the key features of the car. The cabin of the 180SX is light and airy thanks to its low waistline and the large expanse of glass. The grippy wheel and gear knob is also a nice feature of the car.
