Nismo TypeX Kouki 180sx

[cliff]

Threatened to write this advert 100 times recently… but I think now is the time..
I want to focus my time / effort on other machines and don't feel like leaving it under the cover in the shed for ages. I may be open to a PX - you never know what might interest me. An estate car might suit.. but I’m open to offers and suggestions. Some cash and another car may suit… Ideally just a cash sale.

Some of you's may have seen it at Japfest this year – it’s the only show I got to in it. I drove it daily for over a year without a spot of bother, fixing issues as they arose. Real nice road car or could be made into a proper track drift car with a few choice mods.
I've had the car a few years now... started as a real nice standard(ish) road car and it took me a few years to build it to this spec. Nearly everything that was fitted was brand new. This isn’t some sort of beater driftbox – It’s a ‘pride n joy’ car and I know the price reflects that. Yes its expensive but, if you ever want one as clean you’ll spend this much tidying another example anyway. If it doesn’t sell I won’t lose any sleep – I’ll just keep it till I have the funds to give it the power it deserves.

Spec is as follows:
EXTERIOR:
Kouki front bumper
Kouki splitter
Kouki rear lights
Kouki skirts
Kouki rear spats and centre section
Modified Kouki spoiler (centre section chopped and raised with metal plates and anodised black bolts)
30mm Origin rear quaters
30mm Origin front wings -modified to create a stepped look with extra mesh at where it joins the door
Origin TypeII bonnet
Sleepy eye headlight kit
Raybrig crystal headlights
Gandor 'style' mirrors
17” Reversed SSR Professors - Powdercoated matt gunmetal grey with 4 /5” dish
Bolts polished and new matt black SSR stickers made
215/40/17 good Falken tyres with writing done red and white on sidewalls
Entire car professionally painted Satin black – including door shuts, boot shut etc.
Nismo Graphics package including: Side stripes that turn to checker at the quaters, bonnet stripe than does same coming from the headlight, Falken rear window sticker, D1 sunstrip, stickers were custom made in gloss red, gloss black and gunmetal grey to match the theme.
Nismo badging elsewhere – dash and bootlid

ENGINE:
HKS Hi-Power exhaust
Greddy Intercooler
Apexi Induction Kit
Walbro Uprated fuel pump.
52mm Boost Gauge in instrument cluster
Driftworks DT HSD coilovers
Hardrace anti-bumpsteer extra lock tie rods - inners and outer
Red anodised subframe locking collars
Factory Viscous LSD
Cusco rear strut brace
C-pillar brace
Front strut brace
The engine bay was stripped and painted, everything tidied, as much removed as possible, painted, and re-installed to detail the bay. See the photos attached for more detail. Its had wiring loom rewrapped an hidden, custom breather tank and stainless coolant bottle. The bay is one of the nicest points of the car. Its on a standard T25 turbo. Ran on rolling road over in Couture Auto and all safe and working well. made about 250hp if I remember correct.

INTERIOR:
Type X interior - nice 180sx seats, doorcards etc.
Red floormats
Crow Enterprise - 4pt harness
6point bolt in padded Cusco roll cage
Bimarco GRIP drivers seat
Alcantara steering wheel + Nismo horn push
Custom turned wooden gearknob
Varley Racing battery in battery box built into rear seat
Battery cut off switch
META – alarm and imobiliser
Carbon +plastic sun visors inside
Broadway massive rear view mirror
Hydraulic handbrake down the side of the seat in custom red frame
Upgraded Driftworks Stainless steel handbrake lever
Driftworks braided handbrake lines
Sony headunit

No rust underneath at all... I got a fabricator to replace 1 section at the rear above the exhaust where there was a hole. All properly welded, stonechipped and painted. The rest is perfect now.

Bad points - Crack in P.side front wing - Cable tided in X style with oops written beside it ( The snow got me ). And if I remember correct it needs a set of tension rods as the originals are quite worn. Other than that its a great car. It lives in my shed so currently has NO TAX OR NCT

Price – 6500 euro
Open to offers of PX’s too
Thanks for looking
Call if you’ve any questions… But do us all a favour and read the thread first!

Cheers
Cliff

Really nice car, going by the pictures, what makes it NISMO ? Honest question not a shot at you ?

Lol no probs- nismo graphics primarily.

Imo one of the best 180s on the site purely down to its track looks and the fact you went a different route to the norm. Id love it .

[cliff]
