I got my 1996 180sx SR20DET. She is for the most part stock. Does have a NISMO Exhaust. it has 145,000Km. RHD is pretty easy to learn. No idle problems *knock on wood* She did have an ugly a** front bumber but i changed it back to the stock bumper. Got some new wheels which i painted black. body is straight. Recently did an oil change. Bought for $3,500.

I have had two 240sx(90 & 92) while i was stateside, both were KAs, but i tell you what, this 180 is way more fun to drive around. Especially where i am living at in Japan because there are alot of Mountains nearby.

Took the old bumper off.

Under the hood. Look at that garbage a** BOV. Definatly going to get rid of that.

This is how she looks like now.

Let me know what you guys think.

im actually not too sure about that?? it could be stock, but then again does the 180sx SR20 have a stock BOV to begin with? or is does it have a recirculation vlave stock? My buddies 180sx has the BOV in a differnt location.
