1993 Nissan Pulsar SSS review from Australia and New Zealand
"Best performing car at a cheap cost and without a turbo!!!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The clutch was on the way out.
A new stereo & alarm caused the battery to die.
It is a Japanese imported Pulsar, which makes parts slighly more expensive.
Example -Replacement driving lights $400AU.
-Leather wrapped steering wheel $1400AU.
General comments?
Since the clutch has been replaced the car has performed great.
The car has many features:
Power steering, power mirrors, electric windows, a sunroof.
The SR20DE is quick off the line, handles sharp around corners, hard to match this 4 cylinder.
It is the next best thing to its fellow turbo the GTiR.
Overall I can say that these cars are built tough and will take a lot of abuse. Over the last year I have found it difficult to change gears anything below 5000rpm, watch out for speeding fines...you'd be surprised when you look down doing 140km/h in third gear.
