I think your best bet would be to start on ebay for 180sx 1/24 scale models. Try Aoshima, Fujimi or Tamiya as the brands. I've been buying my kits from ebay for a little over 3 years. Prices seem cheaper to buy from Hong Kong or Japan then going to a local hobby shop and buying from there. Kits I used to buy in the early 2000's cost me about $25 and today these kind of kits can run $50+. On ebay I can still manage to find something for $20. Add shipping fees which can probably run $8 to $15 and you're still saving. Also, it'll be easier finding s-chassis kits online then driving/calling around in your city. Hobby shops in the U.S. tend to carry more U.S. brand kits such as Revell and Trumpeter and these companies tend to focus on making American muscle kits. Japan model companies tend to make more Japan cars. That, and also s-chassis are old. I don't know if they still produce these kits (at least the S14) so it'll be that much harder finding it in the U.S.
