Japan Used Nissan 180sx for Sale

The Nissan 180SX is a fastback automobile that was manufactured by Nissan Motors between 1988 and 1998. The 180SX was built and sold by Nissan as a sister model to the Nissan Silvia from the model year 1989 through 1998 but sold at two different Japanese Nissan dealerships. The Silvia was sold at Nissan Prince Store, and the 180SX was sold at Nissan Bluebird Store locations. It is based on the S13 chassis from the Nissan S platform with the variants receiving an R designation (ex. RS13 and RPS13). Its predecessor was Nissan Gazelle S12. Its class is based on sports car and the body style is FR Coupe.

The 180SX came in three major iterations: first was introduced in 1989, the second from 1991 to 1995, and the third that ended production in December 1998.

The first iteration of the 180SX came in two versions called Type I (standard type) and Type II (advanced type). Nissan's HICAS II four-wheel steering system was optional only on the Type II 180SX. All versions had the CA18DET engine with 175 hp. The 5-speed manual transmissions and 4-speed automatic transmissions were available in all types.

The second iteration 180SX was released in January 1991 and included several major changes from the first model. This included the SR20DET engine with 202 hp. Although the engine was larger than the previous CA18DET engine the '180SX' nomenclature remained. The 15-inch alloy wheels also changed in design from the first model. Nissan's Super HICAS four-wheel steering was an option on all models as were 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic transmissions.

The final iteration was released in August 1996. It had a revised front bumper, tail lights, 15-inch wheels and interior. The mechanical and safety package received minor changes, such as the addition of a driver's side airbag, seat belt pre-tensioners, and some changes in the wiring and ECU. Three levels of 180SX were offered: Type X, Type S and Type R, with the Type S being the first 180SX to be offered without a turbocharged engine.
