1986 Nissan Pintara Sedan, GXE review from Australia and New Zealand
"Power for a 4 cylinder!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The head gasket blew at 255 000 kilometers, but that was OK because I had a reconditioned motor installed.
Starter motor at 260 000 kilometers, wrecking yard gave us the wrong starter motor three times. But it's all good now.
Nothing else has gone bad.
General comments?
I really love this car, it has excellent economy and power for a 4 cylinder engine. The pick-up performance is amazing! It has 8 sparkplugs and leads for extra economy and power.
I love driving it to work and when going out. Its very comfortable and nothing ever goes wrong! It starts, gets me where I need to and home again. I wouldn't buy anything else, but a skyline in about 5 years or so.
