Just picked up this 180sx
I just got this 180sx. I?m planning on restoring it with as many new oem parts as I can before doing any kind of mods. Im a simple man. My goal for this build is nothing crazy, Kouki aero, nice clean interior and engine bay... this is my fourth s13, but first real 180sx. I hope to be able to pass this one on to my kids someday..

Here's one in California, $11k within minutes of it going live... mostly from people seeing the guy posting it on Facebook/S-Chassis group. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1991-nissan-240sx-14/

'98 SE
Stock interior 350Z Brembos DMAX Super Street coils Gram Lights 57C6 SR notchtop 7 years after selling my last one, I'm finally a 240 owner again So far I've done a Z32 handbrake conversion, front suspension refresh (ball joints, end links, bearings, etc.) and a few other small things to pass mechanical inspection. Later added the coils and wheels. Plans are to get the engine tuned and do an OEM Silvia K's conversion - I got the spoiler and valances, just need the bumpers and front lip!

Thanks! I?m super happy with the setup. Although the 9.5 +15 with the 255 A052 is right at the limit with stock metal out back. I have camber set at -2.5. Now I just need to find some more OEM aero. |

I approve of this but also disapprove of this. I'm getting a daily car as well and I've argued with myself about suspension and wheels already lol.

Last two S14s are both awesome. Thanks for posting them up! I just missed out on a clean K's automatic. Too slow :/
silviaks2nr - this was one of the first reasons I wanted to get an S14. Glad you still have it after all this time!

I put an order in for the LHD Euro kouki headlights with Mav a few months back. The wait is long, but it's worth it considering YAJ is selling old broken RHD sets for $600+ before taxes and shipping. I'm also a stickler for having the correct headlight cutoff.

S13 Silvia fenders, S13 Silvia corner lights, S14 zenki/kouki EUDM headlights, and several others are all falling into the same pattern:
I am leaving out some details about this process but one of the things I've accidentally exposed is how inefficient and archaic Nissan's relationship is with their parts supply chain vendors, and how badly Nissan has managed their own internal parts system and how distributers procure parts from Nissan. The biggest problem is this: when Nissan accepts my PO, I have to pay an 80% deposit via my supplier. When Nissan cancels a PO or parts on order on a PO, the deposit money is rolled over to future orders.... ... meanwhile, I cancel the order with the customer and refund them in full. At this point I have about $150k sitting overseas doing nothing for me. As I've said in other threads, if I took this money and parked it in the stock market or crypto I would've retired already. Everyone that has ordered will get an update from me later this month. Everyone else, email me...

People outside of buying a handful of parts really have no idea how massive and complicated the OEM supply chain is. They don't care about people buying $100k of parts, they care about the $1M-100M per year type of customers. People also fail to realize that car manufacturers actually make maybe the sheet metal in-house when build a new car, almost everything else is made outside the factory. Once a car is out of production the OEM parts suppliers typically have parts fulfillment contracts that are only renewed as long as the manufacturer is willing to pay for it.

Although I may be a drifter and have thrashed these cars pretty hard over the years, I actually really do care about the cars so I took it upon myself to save one that has been sitting outside my buddys shop for almost 2 years and was about to be scraped. Buying a car in this condition and restoring it is a daunting task but I feel good knowing that once Im done it will be one more s-chassis back on the street that otherwise would have gone to scrap. Hopefully I can restore more of these doomed cars in the future. Dont let them sit guys, save the ones that need it.
Where im at with it now; If you are interested in this build stop by youtube channel, I am doing a detailed build series from start to finish with content uploaded weekly. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4B...ZcP4i4tZJLiCNQ |

I can't believe that I've been a member of the forum for 10 years and I never posted my S14. Probably because it was always "under construction" lol
1998 S14 SE (5-speed converted) - Still has a KA Suspension mods (Fortune Auto 500 coils, SPL arms F&R, Nismo Power Brace, OEM Autech Front Strut Bar, Nismo Rear Strut Bar) Z32 F&R Brake Upgrade R33 GT-R Wheels OEM JDM Aero Goodies (Autech front & fenders, JDM rear bumper + valences) Euro Kouki Headlights Reinhard Dual Tip Exhaust Autech S14 Interior Bits (Door Panels & Rear Seats) Recaro SR2 seats I have a few more OEM Optional pieces that are not currently on (OEM JDM Kouki Lip, Navan Side Skirts, etc.) Yes I know that the S14 is multiple colors. Plans are to have the car completely resprayed (same DN1 color code) down the road.
