SeaNoz180

Hey all, i need some help, im thinking of buying an sr20 nissan 180sx 1994 model with 94,000kms for 8,000$ aussie dollars.
I was just wondering how reliable the engine would be turbo'd or how reliable the actual car is.
Any help is appreciated thanks.

they aer very reliable as long as you take car of your car. and don't just floor it and redline that bitch all the time. treat it well and it will treat you well.

$8k for a 94 180? something is wrong with it unless its family or a mate.
Market value is around $10-12k

Check for puffs of white smoke, diff whine, clunking suspension, panel and structural damage, rust, oil leaks etc

If your worried about how reliable it is then get a ca-18. sr20's are good engines, don't get me wrong, but they are reliable to a certian extent. If your going to boost the hell out of it then your walking a thin line. But if it is going to be a daily driver with a streetable amount of boost, i.e. 0.9 bar then it will last you for a while with little to no problems. But this is normal with any engine. A 3 cyclinder can last you decades, force 1.7 bar down her throat and she'll spit it all over your stomach.......get the picture?

Thanks man, i dont wanna boost the hell out of it, i just want enough power to rip it up whenever i feel the urge.I was thinking about getting a sheet of paper putting it on the panels and sliding a magnet across the car. If the magnet falls it means the car has been puddied.
Thanks again.

Sileighty

Well in that case a STOCK SR20 could do the job for you. As for the magnet..............you lost me there. But I do have a better idea, instead of sliding the magnet, buy a cone. Just one cone, and practice sliding the back of the car out while going around the cone.

SeaNoz180

Thanks alot mate.Ill keep that in mind.
Its either for me a s14 200sx or 180sx.
cant really decide which i want its so hard.

 

Sileighty

180.............duh!!!!

HondaHater

do this, you want both of those, take the s14 front and put it on the 180. that's what im doin.

kaptainkrollio

hes not talking about drifting, hes talking about seeing if the car body is real metal or just putty. not everything is drifting

it comes turbo, so it would be as reliable as stock

vsp3c

somebody talking sh*t about the sr???
