Hey boys :slight_smile:

Im from Australia and have 2 nice 180SX SR20DET’s. Ones my daily driver, putting out over 320hp @ wheels and the other is my show car called PURESX, also putting out over 320Hp @ wheels. Its been in plenty of magazines as a feature car over here. I think some American sites have some* pics of that one…

Anyway, Im moving over to Canada in May and want to buy a good, around-the-320hp @ wheels 180sx.
Would you know of anyone selling a nice reliable (HA!) one of these?
I need it to have a valid safety cert and to have all other legal crap all tied up so I can buy and drift DRIVE geezz I get those mixed up a lot.
Will pay cash. Its just that I need to know where the car I buy is located as I’ll have to fly directly to there from Aus, pick up the car, then use it to drive around Canada.

I want something - ANYthing - turbo. I cant handle non-turbo cars anymore :P.
We can get them so plentifully and easily over here too. Love it hehe.
Here are some pics of my black daily. I cant seem to upload a lot of the pics of before I got it an did all the work, engine work, mods etc. Not sure why:

Will upload the show car pics soon

When I bought it (it was a test tuned to make sure it was fueling correctly/safely)

All the new parts for the engine build. I still have the Nismo flywheel and Coppermix clutch plate (but not the Diaphragm). I put in a far better clutch. Handles 1000HP so Im certain is will be fine for the SR20DET lol!

Carbon fibre dash cover removed prior to me buying. Also created far too much glare, so not a big loss

Cars are looking good, probably be looking at 6-8g’s for something like that over here. Might be easier to find a car where you’re moving tho, just a suggestion. GLWB

why the fuck would someone move from Australia to here?

literally baffles my mind

7

Lol. I remember that blue car from Zilvia. It’s… aight.

Thanks mate.
I just put a $12k stereo in the blue one after I bought it. Damn money pits.

I bought my black one for $8k and pumped another $12k into it. Cars…such money pits

BBBAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

I’ll never ever forget that comment mate lol “Literally baffles my mind” hahahaha Classic :slight_smile:

Its stunning over there! Where I am in Western Australia, we dont get the vivid greens that wetter countries do (like England, where I lived for 2 years and also through Europe).

Sure, there ARE better parts of Aus, but I love a cultural change and seeing different things.

It was either buy an S13 180sx that I know inside and out, or buy a Dodge Ram. Some big earth polluting, Moose-mushing, traffic-drive-over-the-top-of-…ing, machine. Just want something rust free and safety cert passed. We dont really have the rust issues over here like you do with salt on the icey roads.

I just want to see some of that stunning scenery that friends have taken pics of over in Vancouver etc. I will ultimately be moving and setting up there, as my home-based once I’ve driven around a lot.

What car/truck would you recommend, failing an S13 180sx? I want something fast, PREFERABLY turbo (of course!)

well just keep an eye out in the “cars for sale” section of the forums to start
