Nissan 180SX (Widebody 240SX with S15 Front and SR swap) For Sale

With the recent popular rebirth of this rear wheel drive cult classic Terra 2 Imports and Split Decision Motorsports are pleased to present this unique award winning dream machine. If you are looking for one of the cleanest 240�s in the country, here it is!

This 240sx has had countless hours of meticulous workmanship and research invested into its build. Every nut, bolt and section of this car was reviewed, and has either been replaced, refurbished or upgraded.

With the main focus of function united with form in mind this build was guaranteed to be a success from the very beginning. The original car is that of a 1991 Nissan 240sx that has been completely torn down to a shell and than rebuilt again from the ground up. The clean striped down chassis assured that this 240 would make an excellent platform to begin building an original one of a kind Nissan.

The car received a new body style to assure that it would be indeed a wolf in wolfs clothing, the front of the car was overhauled with the illustrious S15 Silvia front end conversion. The new JDM face along with the rest of the body received a great deal of effort to ensure that only high end quality parts were researched than integrated to the car. Many hours were spent to ensure a perfect fit and finish! The rear of the car was stretched out 50mm to fit the new 9.5� wide wheels and give it a �wide body� appearance and stance. The body on this car was to be conservative and clean, yet still make a statement that commands attention. One of the most commonly heard comments is �wow that is the cleanest imports I have ever seen� This car can truly be appreciated by all ages and automotive enthusiasts alike.

The interior was put together with similar taste, a factory appearance combined with aftermarket additions. The cockpit of the car is very comfortable and remains clean and not too busy. Attention to detail shows through with upgrades like the molded in Greddy EO-1, rear custom harness bar, full leather interior, and the flip out 7� Pioneer DVD screen, just to highlight a few. The professionally installed Pioneer audio system was built to produce clear clean sound. Keeping with a factory look all stereo equipment was hidden under a false fiberglass floor in the rear trunk compartment, which also was designed to be able to provide room for storage such as bags if traveling.

The engine is a 1997 Nissan SR20DET which boasts near perfect compression and low mileage of only 53,460 kms. Reliability and power is the basis for the engine, natural upgrades such as the tubular turbo manifold ensured a healthy amount of Hp combined with the ease and dependability of a daily driver. The turbocharged 2.0L produces a fantastic amount of power through out the RPM range, which makes for a predictable and proficient performing car.

The engine is the fulcrum to the rest of the cars handling and footwork capabilities. The car sits on a 18X9.5 and 18X8.5 staggered rim and tire package, which is accompanied by a set of 32 way adjustable full coilover suspension to take care of the handling. Braking was greatly improved via a 5 lug conversion and the larger Z32 calipers and slotted rotors, while the stainless brake lines guarantee a direct feel of braking at the driver�s feet.
Overall this is a one off car that was built with great attention to detail and functionality and is offered only to a fellow automotive aficionado who can appreciate the car for what it is and be able to maintain it in such a manor. So with that said if you are an enthusiast who is looking for a great addition to your love of fine cars this car is worth seeing in person. It truly is a beautiful machine!

If you would like to place a reasonable bid on the car or if you have any serious inquiries or questions please submit a ticket.
