1988 Nissan Pulsar GXE review from Australia and New Zealand
"OK first attempt at an EFI small car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have constant problems with overheating, and the fan kicks on at strange times, so I want to bypass it completely (to have on constantly, I live in a hot environment), but cannot figure out how its currently wired. Looks like a thermo sensor tells it it's, hot and kicks in the fan at a specific point. Been told to bridge this sensor out onto the negative on the car. Anyone help?
General comments?
It's OK, overheats, primitive EFI, big power band in 3rd & 4th, handles poor in the wet and with weight in it.
The suspension sags, and the exhaust and sump sit too low.
