The Nissan 180SX is a fastback car manufactured by Nissan Motors between 1988 and 1998. The S13 platform is based on Nissan's platform, with R variant designs approved (eg PS13 and RPS13) and sold exclusively. Japanese motors are paired with older CA18 models. Later paired with the SR20 motor model. Outside of Japan, the 200SX will be rebranded to the Nissan 240SX with a single overhead KA24E motor and later a KA24DE replica and will be released from the US market to the US market.

Model nomenclature and market

The 180SX was built and sold by Nissan as a sister model to Nissan Silvia from 1989 to 1998, but sold by two other Japanese Nissan dealerships. The Silvia was sold at the Nissan Prince store and the 180SX was sold at the Nissan Bluebird store. In Japan, the 180SX replaced Gazelle. The S13 Silvia was discontinued in 1993, but the 180SX was successful enough to convince Nissan to keep it on the market for the full length of the next-generation Silvia (S14). The 180SX differs from the S13 Silvia in that it features pop-up headlights and a liftgate with different bodywork at the rear of the vehicle. Specifications and equipment were similar. However, a naturally aspirated CA18DE engine was not offered.

The name 180SX is related to the 1.8 liter  CA18DET engine used in the original chassis. However, in 1991 the engine was upgraded to a 2.0-liter model and offered in two forms: the turbocharged SR20DET variant and the naturally aspirated SR20DE engine introduced in 1996. The new engine had more displacement, but the 180SX designation was retained. .

The 180SX was also the trim level of the S110 Silvia in Europe. The badge on this model says "Silvia 180SX", so this car is not a model-specific 180SX, but a Silvia version instead.

Other discrepancies in this standard include LHD cars with 180SX badges and retractable headlamps, deployed in Micronesia and the islands of the South Pacific.[3]

Similar to Japan's 180SX SR20DET mismatch, the European and South African models of the S13 chassis were called 200SX although they were equipped with CA18DET engines.

In North America it was sold as the Nissan 240SX Fastback with a KA24DE engine and various other trim differences.

In Europe, the car was sold as the 200SX and with only a CA18DET engine producing 169 PS (124 kW, 167 hp) via the rear wheels, it reaches 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.5 seconds and reaches 220 km/h. .This car underwent a facelift in 1991 with softer bumpers, a limited slip differential, and larger brakes. This 200sx was sold between 1989 and 1994 until it was changed to the 200SX S14 version.

Certain Year Model 180SX and Sylvia can now be imported into the US market with EPA and DOT exemptions under 25-year tradition import laws. There are a few JDM Import companies in the US.

Japanese tuning company Kid's Heart has produced 500 official units of the 180SX and the Silighty hybrid known as the Silvia. The car was built on the standard 1998 180SX platform, but Nissan Silvia's headlamps, front wings, hood, front bumper and fixtures were replaced.[5] This car is available with naturally aspirated or turbo engines of 140 or 205 PS (103 or 151 kW), identical to the standard S13. A 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic was offered. Kid's Heart also offered some mechanical and tuning upgrades, including a modified suspension, improved limited-slip differential, and Nismo's ECU tuning. This boosted the turbo car's output from 13 psi boost (0.9 bar) to 230 PS (169 kW).

generation of 180sx

The 180SX was released in three major versions. The first version was released in March 1989, the second version was released from January 1991 to August 1996, and the third version ended production in December 1998.

The first version of the 180SX was available in two versions: Type I (Standard Type) and Type II (Advanced Type). Nissan's HICAS II four-wheel steering system was only optional on the Type II 180SX. All versions have a CA18DET engine of 175PS. 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic transmissions were available on all types. Cars equipped with HICAS have a leading K in the model code. So RS13 becomes KRS13 when HICAS is fitted.

The second version, the 180SX, was released in January 1991 and included several major changes from the first model. This includes the SR20DET engine at 205PS. The engine was larger than the existing CA18DET engine, but the name '180SX' was maintained. The brakes have been enlarged and a limited slip differential has been added. The front bumper and interior parts have also been redesigned. The Type I and Type II were offered once again with only the trim difference that separates the two. The 15-inch alloy wheels also have a different design from the first model. Nissan's Super HICAS all-wheel steering was optional on all models, as were the 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic transmissions.

The second iteration was facelifted in January 1991. Although the car has not changed significantly visually and mechanically, an additional trim level called Type III has been added. An electronic thermostat and CD audio were also added as options.

An additional facelift was performed in 1994, trim levels were renamed Type R and Type X, with Type X being the higher of the two. But overall the car has hardly changed.
The final facelift for the mid-model was in August 1996, adding a driver's airbag and changing the alloy wheels, among other minor details.

The final version was released in August 1996. The front bumper, tail lights, 15-inch wheels and interior have been modified. The mechanical and safety package received minor changes such as driver airbags, the addition of seat belt pretensioners, and some changes to wiring and ECU. The 180SX was offered in three levels: Type X, Type S and Type R, the Type S being the first 180SX without a turbocharged engine.

Both the Type X and Type R shared the same 205 PS (202 hp) engine and overall mechanical package, but the Type R had a front lip, rear spoiler, side skirts, rear valence and 15-inch alloy wheels. The Type S is powered by a naturally aspirated SR20DE engine at 140PS, but mechanical and exterior details are similar to the Type X family. However, the Type S lacked the option of Nissan's Super HICAS all-wheel steering system. Just like the turbocharged model did.

The Type X and Type R ceased production in October 1998, but additional naturally aspirated models, called Type S and Type G, continued production until all 180SX production ceased in December 1998.
