1988 Nissan Pulsar Q review from Australia and New Zealand
"Best investment I've made in a long time"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed new steering rack at approx 158000 km, new rear reverse light, and head service.
General comments?
When I purchased the car I was disappointed with only the look of the car, but have since painted and kitted the car out and it and looks great in purple, I found that performance was not too bad in stock form and the car responds to modification well with an upgraded ECU, pod filter and exhaust system the car's power increased by 49hp.I have read a lot of reviews about these cars and they all seem bad, i think that if people have a proper look at the car's body motor and undercarriage and low kilometers before they buy they will probably realize that these cars were one of the best hatch-backs of there era and price range.
