1996 Nissan 180SX

96 180SX Type X.

I built the car to be a reliable street and track car. The next step was to cage and drive. As the story goes, I have sadly lost interest in the sport.

I have owned the car for almost 10 years. Most of the driving was done before the rebuild and was a mix of weekend drives and supersprints. All works were completed by a trusted mechanic. The build helped me keep my sanity through cancer treatment.
The car has travelled well under 2,000km since the rebuild.

Overall, the car presents well for age and KM. The car has only been run on 98 as I had no interest in chasing numbers, as you can see by the build list, it has plenty of potential to make more power.
