1981 Datsun 310 GX review from North America
"One tough little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New clutch and cv axles recently
head gasket at 65000.
General comments?
Amazing car. bought it new and it still runs like a top. handles great and is quick. still looks pretty good for 25 years old. use it all the time around town. have a Pathfinder for the road, but won't give my 310. gas mileage still good. cranks right up in the winter and it does get cold here in Montana. Needs a new speedometer and have not been able to find one. or even an instrument cluster.
Only about 86000 miles on it. just now getting broke in. if only all cars were made like this one.
