Silvia Club of NSW

I'll be turning 17 soon and im gettin 10 grand for my first car

im keen to get a 180sx... my brother has a s4 rx7 and he rekins with that money im best to look at buying a 180 with a CA18 rather than an SR20.

he rekins that for that price i can get a better quality car if i get a CA rather than an SR... what do you all think?

also he rekins that CA's can make pretty much as much power as an SR... watd u think?

First off, welcome to silviansw.com!

SR's make more power stock... There was a thread or two not too long ago about this very debate (and a number of them before that), try a search - they're sure to be kicking around with more than enough information.

drive a ca 180 then drive a sr 180.....make your own decsicion on your own money

got 15?

oh well looks like theres going to be spare parts around either way (i'll keep my eye on the forsales section for p plater wrecking their car)lol

get whatever you can afford for $10000, wont be the best car around for that price but for the money your looking at a very average sr (silvia as i've never seen an sr 180 go for 10) or an average ca. have a look whats forsale and see what you can afford.

welcome anyway.

Also, as with any car, dont rush and get the first car you see, Chances are a better car will be available with patience. Obviously keep an eye out for oil leaks or diff leaks. body work, on a CA check that there is no leaking from the rocker cover (as with any car), check interior condition etc.

And a grand saved on getting an auto, is 2 spent getting a manual... be sure of what you want from the get go! Sunroof, Digital climate comntrol, hicas what ever. Then you can make a reailistic judgment of the worth of the car you want... and dont just get a car cos your brother thinks its cool!

you can get more mods for your money with a CA, but you need less mods to get you there in an SR.


But thats my opinion

I strongly suggest you don't get a turbo RWD car for your first car.
Get a CA N/A or SR N/A for that matter, save the money on the inital price and learn to drive.
After a few years once you have saved up, upgrade the motor if you still have the car and like it or go and buy a turbo.

the s13 series is very nice, and especially at the price, but these guys all have a point. i went from fwd hondas to SR20 180sx, after driving for 5 years...and this...

get a feel of driving first....

but if you really wanna get a s13....your brother is right....a CA s13 would be in better condition than a SR s13 (silvia or 180sx)...shop around dude....happy hunting

hey mate,
i dont know the email, but if your really keen on a 180sx go onto www.fastfours.com.au contact dairyboy( JDM owner i think) he said he could import a 180sx SR20DET straight from Japan for 11K including all payment for shipping etc. only done 50km on the odo, but knowing the japs, probably been thrashed, but i think its worth it

importing aint hard..anyone can do it..i was importing this for $6600

for my gf, but she pulled out and lost 1k deposite

i bought my 92 180sx sr20det for $10,000 and it had exhaust , boost gauge , filter etc .. so look around and find a deal !
