Description

1997 Nissan 180SX Type X Kouki | SR20DET Turbo | Genuine Japanese Import

An exceptional opportunity to own a genuine 1997 Nissan 180SX Type X Kouki, finished in Metallic Silver (KL0), with the legendary SR20DET turbocharged engine, desirable factory Kouki styling and an impressive selection of quality Japanese performance upgrades.

With just 133,800 km (approximately 83,140 miles), mint-condition bodywork and a rust-free chassis with no previous welding, this is a particularly appealing example of an increasingly sought-after Japanese performance car.

This is a genuine Type X, not a standard 180SX fitted with a Kouki-style body kit. It retains the distinctive factory Type X aerodynamic styling that makes these later-production models so desirable.

Condition and History

MOT valid until 27 August 2027.

Currentmileage:133,800km(approximately83,140miles).

Bodywork and chassis in mint condition, with no rust and no previous welding to the chassis.

The car has a documented Japanese history, including its original USS Tokyo auction inspection sheet dated 24 July 2008, available through a Carify vehicle history report.

The original Japanese auction records confirm its Type X identity and show that the automatic-to-manual conversion and various performance modifications were already present in Japan.

The 2008 inspection sheet records historical cosmetic imperfections, corrosion observations and evidence of previous repairs. These are historical findings and do not reflect the vehicle's present condition.

The engine wiring loom has been relocated to provide additional wheel clearance.

Why This 180SX Stands Out

A genuine late-production Type X Kouki with a desirable performance specification, excellent bodywork, a rust-free and unwelded chassis, and documented Japanese auction history.

With its distinctive styling, upgraded running gear and sought-after Japanese performance components, this is a fantastic opportunity for a serious Nissan or JDM enthusiast.

Viewings and genuine enquiries welcome.
