Nissan 180sx


Street/drift

In 1997, I bought my first Nissan 180sx.
In 2022 - I bought another one and transformed it from a crashed wreck to a jaw dropper of a street/drift car. With 25 years of experience between them, this one’s something to be proud of…

Within 2 weeks of getting this JDM icon back on the road, we drove it from Sydney to Brisbane - did an entire long-weekend of drifting in it, and drove it home. The next weekend, we drove it to Melbourne and did it all again.

This car is an absolute blast to drive both on track, and on the street.
