Garage Nats, known for its wildly original custom work, built this 180SX with an extreme swap that leaves almost none of the original car recognizable. The body work goes beyond gullwing doors, with an original exhaust and Cusco coilovers for serious driving. The most remarkable work is under the hood: the turbo and intake system, along with nearly every other engine component, have been modified.

A complete roundup!!
…at the final Sapporo Auto Salon.
The circuit that began at Makuhari Messe in January makes its final stop here…
…including cars built to run fast.
…and with all of Hokkaido’s open roads, there are many tuning-focused exhibitors…
But sport compacts were right there with them!
The gullwing doors that were all the rage last year drew plenty of attention here, too!!
Twice as many booths—and twice the excitement!
*Event column*
Exhibiting vehicles doubled from last year
The number of exhibiting cars at this year’s Sapporo Auto Salon doubled over last year. Attendance was up as well, and the energy was about 200% higher. It was packed shoulder to shoulder!
…it was amazing!
…with a full D-MAX aero kit and custom gullwing doors…
A 180SX that can run and drift—with gullwing doors!
Built with looks that grab attention and D1 drifting in mind, this car is sure to stand out even more once it starts moving. Built by C-Point.
