Nissan's infamous S13 has lamented itself as one of the most versatile cars on the road today. Whether your daily driver, drift missile, or dedicated show car; the S Chassis can do it all. With its lightweight body and potent turbocharged two-liter engine it makes for a killer combination. This particular '93 180SX is a great take on what show and go can create. While normally we tend to gravitate towards more stock cars this one has had quite a few upgrades over the years to turn it into a more purpose-built track car. Origin Labo is well known in the drifting world as one of the go-to aftermarket aero companies. Fitted with new bumpers, skirts, front vented fenders, and molded rear overfenders this 180 has a whole new spin on things. To make sure the 18" Stage Monroe wheels fit the wheel wells were properly trimmed to ensure there's no rubbing. The setup allows for everything to fit flush while allowing plenty of suspension travel so you don't have to worry about cracking a fender. Riding on Buddy Club coilovers does allow for adjustments to the ride height which is currently set rather high for general safety sake. Of course, the new owner can drop it down to a more fitting ride height if they wanted to. It's rather obvious that the car was repainted in its original Super Black (KH3) when all of the aero was added since half the car was replaced. The paint itself shows rather well barring some typical imperfections in the paint itself due to the nature of black paint always showing any little blemishes. The bodywork is in good condition as well which is often a concern with FRP aero. The bumpers don't have the typical spiderwebbing in the paint or cracks which is a common result of any small impacts. The whole aero setup looks great paired up with the factory lines and makes it a very subtle head turner without the need for a massive wing or wild paint job.

The interior is a combination of light-duty track time without having to sacrifice all of your normal amenities. The Recaro Confetti reclinable driver's seat provides plenty of support for spirited driving and is comfortable enough to daily drive, unlike the more common fixed-back buckets we see in track cars. The seat is in fantastic shape considering the aftermarket bolsters are so tall. Usually, they have a tendency to wear down faster than stock ones do from climbing in and out. The passenger seat is in pretty good shape barring some light discoloration on the seat base. Obviously the back seats are a bit uncomfortable since they were removed in order to fit in a Safety 21 bolt in half cage. Since the rear has been stripped its obviously a good deal louder in the cabin, so this may be more of a weekend toy than a daily driver. They did keep all of the power accessories like the windows and digital climate control, although the A/C is inoperable. The Momo wheel is a nice upgrade and fits the all black styling nicely. The dash has the typical crack that most every S13 suffers from but the Shevron dash mat does a nice job of tidying it up a bit. The door panels are in good nick and don't have any of the peeling that we see from delamination over the years.

Fitted with the only proper motor for an S chassis, the SR20DET. The aluminum two-liter has been outfitted with all of the basic bolt on's you would want, but nothing to make reliability an issue. With only 92K unverified miles the SR feels strong right off of idle. The power delivery is smooth and the car certainly scoots. There's no wonder why the larger KA is routinely ditched in favor of this lightweight powerhouse. To help it breathe a bit easier an M's intake was fitted and makes all the right noises on liftoff. Nicely tucked in next to the intake is a Greddy PRofec-B boost controller with its main controller mounted against the trans tunnel just below the dash for easy access. For a little extra peace of mind, a polished catch can was mounted up by the firewall so you can easily drain it. It should go without saying that any car like this needs some help in the exhaust department. It looks like a Kakimoto mid pipe was modified to house a Fujitsubo tip to give the SR its own distinct tone. Since we all know this car wasn't built for drag racing the suspension has a few additional tweaks to bring out the most of the nimble chassis. Dmax extended tie rods allow for considerably more angle on turn-in and the Cusco rear upper control arms do a nice job of keeping the rear end in check. While we don't know the brand, the rear diff does feel like it's been upgraded to a more aggressive two way LSD. At low speeds it is more pronounced than the stock diff, but with a purpose-built car that is to be expected. The transmissions is smooth and engages with ease thanks to a new clutch. Mechanically we've gone over the car and brought it back up to speed with those new tires, along with a routine oil change. One drive and you'll understand why the S13 is one of the best driving cars out there and this one is no exception.
