1984 Nissan EXA N12 review from Australia and New Zealand
"EXA Styles"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Starter motor brushes needed replacing at 185000 Kilometers.
Back dash had corroded.
Gear box broken (fails to shift into fifth gear) at 190000 Kilometers.
General comments?
It's a cute little car.
It could be a bit lower.
Have got it up to 150 Kilometers, but it was rattling like the earth had split in half.
The N12 has good pickup.
I Like N12s so much I'm going to buy a good one and do it up eg. Kit, Paint etc.
