I have the same year 180sx with the CA except some rust is surfacing. I just joined the site so no pics yet. But your car is very clean.

Thanks for the positive feedback guys. I got the car exactly as you see it there. My uncle imported it around 5 years ago and rarely drove it. in fact it sat for quite a while and i had to have the injectors cleaned and fuel lines flushed etc. the clock says 53000ks wether thats genuine who knows. other wise its all stock. I got it very cheap and am really happy with it. the body is heaps clean but there is a few spots where paint is fading. oh and for some reason the fog lights wont work, ive checked the wiring and the relay but nothing.

I took these photos today just after i fixed the drivers side electric mirror, the nuts on the lifter bracket had come loose and was rattling quite badly.

From the look of the car, the odometer is correct. That is perhaps the best condition S13 I've seen in a LONG time. I'm amazed at the condition of the seats and engine bay. You got an amazing deal there buddy!

Now don't wreck it
