My 1992 180sx needs a new AC condenser, and I was wondering if it’s the same as a 1992 240sx one? I wasn’t able to find a definitive answer...anyone know?

To my knowledge, they're not. The silvia/180sx condenser has the dryer mounted on the face of it where as 240s has the dryer mounted next to the battery tray. If I remember correctly, the tubing is brazed to the core in that configuration and the actual condenser core is not universal.
