This is my boy Nick here. He wants to get a 180SX and alot of people here have been telling him that the 180SX and Silvia's are crap. And this is coming from people who have never even owned a Nissan to begin with. So he wants some feedback about the cars.

Anyone care to go first????
we have to convince him....? Take him for a ride, i think thats convincing enough.

Depends on what you want. Cause I had mine at the time was the 2nd running one on the road. Then the other one got into an accident and the dude who bought mine spun a bearing and it's like he is never fixing it. Do you want it to buy? If you are coming up let me know. And also if you need a redtop ecu I got one here.

well the one I just won from ebay is a 12cm rear housing with a 7 blade. Is that a good one???? Cause I am now hearing that the 7 and 8 blade is different. I am planning on putting a T3 .63 rear housing on it if it takes long to spool.

I am also getting some HKS Hipermax III coilovers from a friend. He just has them there sitting.

Really nice rides islandsilvia.

I'm really liking the 180sx. I have been to Jamaica several times, and it is always cool to see JDM rides like Pulsars and the 180sx.
