Nissan 180SX with 1970’s 240Z Face Transplant


Nissan 180SX 240ZSome people think that the true successor of the 1970s Nissan 240Z /280ZX (Z30) which was also known in Japan as the Fairlady Z wasn’t the early ‘80s 300ZX (Z31), but the smaller and more nimble 180SX / 200SX / 240SX series that came in the late 1980s. A Japanese owner of a 1994 180SX took that belief a little bit too serious by performing a ‘surgical’ 240Z face transplant on his coupe. The funny thing is that, judging from the pictures, the well executed conversion doesn’t look half bad. But that’s our personal opinion so feel free to disagree. -Continued

The modified 180SX that’s equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine is now up for sale on an Australian site with the price set $10,600 AUD including shipping, import duty, GST and the company’s service fee. However, potential buyers should be aware that the Japanese coupe is being offered for race or rally use only as it is not suitable for import to Australia as a road car.
