The 1996 Nissan 180SX Type-X (S13) is a two-door coupé manufactured by Nissan from 1996 to 1998 for the Asian and Australian market.

It was sold in different specifications as the 240SX in North America and as the 200SX in Europe.

The 180SX model was made available with a 2.0 litre turbocharged engine, codenamed SR20DET, with the Type II trim. The trim was later rebranded to Type X in 1994 alongside a design facelift. In 1996, the 180SX received another major exterior update.
