1986 Nissan Silvia ZX Turbo review from UK and Ireland
"Cheap thrills"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Turbo gasket blown - replacement part cost £15 and £35 to fit.
Battery replaced.
General comments?
This car looks mean.
It's not that fast compared to modern cars - but it does look like it can deliver the goods.
The handling took a while to get used to, and on long runs (3hrs +) you get numb bum.
But it starts first time every time.
It's going because someone decided to re-design the front wing and it's a write off!!!
