The JDM 1991 Nissan 180SX is fun to drive and a favorite of drifters due to its powerful turbo engine, rear-wheel drive, limited slip differential and plethora of aftermarket options. Japan Car Direct can source this popular Japanese domestic model from a Japanese used car auction at a reasonable price and have it shipped to your nearest port without delay.
The first model of the second generation (S13)
The 1991 Nissan 180SX was the first model of the second generation and exclusively sold in Japan. It’s similar to the Nissan Silvia and was marketed abroad with different specifications as the 200SX and 240SX.
A favorite of champions
Whether you choose a largely standard 180SX or a modified 180SX like this handsome example, it’s hard to resist thinking of the Nissan 180SX as a drift car since so many champions — including Masato Kawabata, Yoshinori Koguchi and Kielan Woods — have competed in them over the years.
High-performance turbo engine
As you can imagine, the JDM 180SX is pretty quick. The standard turbo model accelerates from zero to 62 mph (100 kmh) in about 6.5 seconds and reaches a maximum speed of 235 km/h (146 mph) when not electronically limited. We didn’t have a chance to time this modified 180SX while it was in our possession, but we’re pretty confident it leaves standard vehicles far behind.
Nissan’s 2.0-liter four-cylinder DOHC 16-valve turbocharged SR20DET engine produces a maximum 151 kW (202 hp) at 6000 rpm and 274 N⋅m (202 lbf⋅ft) at 4000 rpm without modification. The tuned engine in this modified vehicle easily tops these figures and is mated with Nissan’s standard 5-speed manual transmission, which does a great job of smoothly transmitting all that power to the road.
We can also source the Nissan 180SX in excellent condition with a 4-speed automatic transmission and minimal modifications.
Sporty inside and out
While the standard JDM 1991 Nissan 180SX is comfortable and refined with understated styling that belies the sporty performance, this modified vehicle makes its spirited character conspicuous with Bride bucket seats, a roll cage, Next Miracle cross bars and a rear spoiler for serious drifting. Nissan’s optional climate control system and four wheel steering system are not included.
The front MacPherson-strut, rear multi-link suspension was stiffened for sportier handling by Greddy Trust coilovers, but still provides a comfortable ride on regular roads. Standard large disc brakes ensure controlled deceleration.

The detailed videos where Mike would translate and explain the Japanese auction sheets and inspections provided great clarification so I knew exactly what I was getting with my car. I have to also commend Mike's swiftness when it came to replying to emails and phone calls, he would always reply near on instantly and even outside of normal business hours just to ensure I was never left in the dark through the bidding and shipping preparation processes.

For me the back-and-forth communication was the reason why I decided to go with japancardirect. Being able to see the auction trucks that are coming out and getting a detailed translation of the auction sheet is awesome. At first, I was a little hesitant sending money for a car overseas that I haven't actually seen in person, but Mathew stayed with me even at times when I was less patient. Thanks for all the help you and your team provide. read less

Seeing the local retail prices gave me sticker shock, so I immediately thought there has to be a better way. Sure enough, that way is Japan Car Direct. Yoshi and team are knowledgeable, professional and responsive. They do what they say they are going to do before, during and after the transaction, they are in it for the long haul. The result of reviewing the auction listings and acquiring/importing yourself (with help from JCD) is substantial savings and the satisfaction of paying a fair price. It's also fun if you enjoy searching for and identifying great automotive values. Would not hesitate to recommend their services to others and I will be back for more vehicles in the near future. read less

They were super helpful with my first time importing a vehicle to the US and were quick to answer all of the first-time questions I had about the process. The vehicle I got was exactly as I expected based on the pre-bidding inspection that they organized and I am beyond thrilled with my new (to me) little van.
