1984 Nissan Pulsar NX review from North America
"Great starter car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The carburetor had to be rebuilt.
Replaced the head gasket.
New exhaust system.
Smoked very badly when started. So, I replaced the '84 engine with an '86 in much better condition.
General comments?
The problems I've had with the car should be expected with an older car with high mileage.
Handles extremely well on corners and sharp turns.
Slow at the line, but gains speed quickly after about 35 mph. Could definitely use a little more get up and go.
I like the body style. It's different than all the other sleek cars.
For a first car, it has been very dependable and great on gas mileage.
