1995 Nissan 180SX Type X Built SR20DET 615 WHP on E85 Haltech Elite 1500 S15 Interior Conversion

Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas is excited to offer this incredible 1995 Nissan 180SX Type X, a purpose-built street and show machine that perfectly blends iconic Japanese styling with modern performance engineering. Finished in a striking custom red paint scheme and sitting aggressively over custom Blitz wheels, this 180SX commands attention from every angle while delivering the kind of performance normally reserved for dedicated race cars.

Under the hood lies a meticulously assembled fresh built SR20DET that has one goal in mind: making serious power while maintaining reliability. Featuring CP forged pistons with a 9.5:1 compression ratio, Brian Crower connecting rods, BC Stage 2 264/264 camshafts, titanium valve springs, ARP head studs, and upgraded rod bearings, this engine has been fortified from top to bottom. Supporting modifications include an S15 oil pump and water pump, Greddy 5-quart oil pan, ATI Super Damper harmonic balancer, Audi R8 coil conversion, and a custom powder-coated valve cover that adds a clean finishing touch.

Forced induction duties are handled by a Pulsar G30-660 turbocharger fitted with a stainless .81 A/R turbine housing and the sought-after T51R modification, mounted to a custom DynasTay Performance turbo manifold and downpipe. Exhaust gases exit through a Blitz Realize-TT exhaust system, while boost control is managed by a TiAL 44mm external wastegate. Fuel and engine management are controlled by a Haltech Elite 1500 ECU with a custom wiring harness and flex-fuel tuning capability. The result is an astonishing 615 horsepower at the wheels on E85, delivering brutal acceleration and instant throttle response.

Cooling and reliability were clearly priorities throughout the build. A large Blitz front-mount intercooler works alongside a Mishimoto aluminum radiator and GKTech electric fan setup to keep temperatures under control even during spirited driving.

The suspension and chassis package is equally impressive. Blitz ZZR coilovers work in conjunction with D-Max adjustable suspension arms throughout, Megan Racing tension rods, and a GKTech chassis brace to create a highly capable handling platform. An aluminum skid plate offers added protection underneath. Braking performance has been significantly upgraded with R32 GTS-T brakes, R32 five-lug hubs, ROFU cross-drilled and slotted rotors, and ROFU Max Street Friction brake pads. The factory-style handbrake functionality has been retained through GKTech conversion cables and lines, while a viscous limited-slip differential helps put power to the pavement.

Inside, the cabin has been transformed with an S15 dashboard conversion complete with custom HVAC ducting while retaining functional air conditioning. Driver-focused upgrades include custom Bride door cards, matching floor mats, hatch cover, and a Cusco half cage. Monitoring duties are handled by a BTI 4.3 Multi-Integration digital display linked directly to the Haltech ECU, providing real-time engine data at a glance. Entertainment comes courtesy of a Pioneer touchscreen multimedia head unit paired with Kenwood speakers.

Completing the aggressive appearance are custom Blitz 01 wheels measuring 18x9 up front and a massive 18x10.75 in the rear, perfectly fitted to the widened bodywork for an unmistakably aggressive stance. With only approximately 109,000 equivalent chassis miles showing and very few original components remaining, this 180SX represents years of careful planning, quality parts selection, and professional execution.

Whether youre looking for a high-horsepower street car, a standout show vehicle, or an expertly built JDM icon capable of turning heads wherever it goes, this 1995 Nissan 180SX delivers on every level. Opportunities to own a build of this caliber rarely come along.
