1986 Nissan Bluebird SLX estate review from Denmark
"Cheap motoring, IF you shop around for parts"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes were very worn.
Rust in rear damper turrets.
Shock absorbers defective, especially front.
Worn ball joints
Oil leak from rocker cover
Auto choke sticks on
Rust, rust, rust.
General comments?
I'm quite impressed with this car.
I got it for almost nothing and have been very lucky sourcing cheap or used parts.
Nissan main dealer prices are just a joke. Avoid them.
Not particularly economical, but extremely high comfort level.
Common faults include steering rack problems, cracked blocks/heads and suspension faults and rust, rust, rust.
Easy to work on.
