Well a 180sx is mainly just a 240sx hatch from US with lovely accessories like a CA18DET instead of a KA24DE. I believe it also LSD as an option but I'm not too sure on that. As the SR20DET, its definitely not SMOG legal considering you are also in california, perhaps the CA18DET isnt smog legal either. Alot of people who do the swap keep the K24 around. They put the k24 back in to smog then return the SR20DET back in or CA18DET (the actual 180sx engine) after passing. In terms of reliable, the KA24 is, and the car itself is pretty decent. Friend has one. Perhaps very expensive once you get a SR20DET.
Go check out the Super Autobacs Store. They might have more accessories for the car. They sell various parts from japan, pretty pricey but rare parts are there for rather decent prices.
