1991 Nissan 100NX 1.6

Summary:

A good looking, well built, sports (doesn't scare your pants off) coupe

Faults:

Nothing has gone wrong with it yet, but I have not had it long enough for anything to go wrong.

There is some wear on the upholstery. Not surprising for a car that's 11 years old.

The body work needs a little attention around the wheel arches. Not a big problem.

General Comments:

I bought the car for the wife to replace her worn out Fiat Uno. She hasn't been able to drive it yet as I am having too much fun with it.

I had a Renault Laguna which I sold and bought a motorbike. The 100NX is now tempting me back onto four wheels.

It's not fast, but it is great fun to drive and hugs the road like a sports car should.

Extremely comfortable with a good driving position.

It is the first 100NX model that Nissan brought out and does not have a targa top. Living in the Lake District where it rains on every day with a Y in it, this is not really missed.

Having only done 1,500 miles in it over three weeks, it is a little early to spot any problems.

Go and buy one. Have some FUN!

1991 Nissan 100NX 1.6i petrol

Summary:

A very underrated car, and individualistic

Faults:

Brought the car with FSH..... couple of niggles like the rear parcel shelf lugs had snapped, radio aerial snapped and this lag everyone talks about when accelerating..... I have not tried to get the lag fixed yet but I will do in time.......

For some reason people seem to look at the car when driving and there are also admiring looks from other road users especially with the T-Bar out...

Like the gear changes and the willingness of the engine.... shame the engine cannot match up with the willingness it shows..... also I cannot put the air circulation switch into re-circ but it's not a major problem....

Sorted rear parcel shelf out with some stainless steel tube and screws for a touch of retro styling.....

Stereo is good for a standard stereo, especially with my mini disc plugged in.........

WARNING:- Take time finding one cause I almost ended up with one which had been an insurance write off and been repaired....I only found out cause I HPI checked it..... definitely buy one with FULL SERVICE HISTORY. They are out there and worth their weight in gold.

1991 Nissan 100NX 1.6 16v twin cam

Summary:

A fantastic underated car

Faults:

Nothing has gone wrong, apart from the standard fault with the air controller.

General Comments:

Brilliant car, fast, cheap to insure and very reliable. Considering this car has done 95,000 miles I cannot believe how well it drives. Feels much smoother than any of the modern company cars I drive.

Only concern is the lack or rear seating space! Although the boot is more than adequate for my needs.

Looks much better with after market larger alloys.

1991 Nissan 100NX 1.6 petrol

Summary:

Medium performance bargain

Faults:

My air lever was jammed when I bought it and the front left spring was in two pieces. Both were easily fixed, the later with 35mm lowering springs.

General Comments:

Good car, easy to modify, exhaust, bonnet vent, 16" alloys, bucket seats - the answer to your comfort problems and air induction kit.

1991 Nissan 100NX 1.6 petrol

Faults:

Air circulation lever snapped off.

Carburettor problem.

General Comments:

This was my first ever new car and I really enjoyed driving round Cyprus and the UK in a "convertible" car. Like most of the people replying to this survey I had the recycle lever replaced under warranty after it broke off. I liked them so much I bought another one after 2 years of driving this one and if they still made them I would have bought yet another. Only slight complaint is that the more powerful 2.0 was not available in the UK.

Would love to know if I am driving your old car!

Bought it from a garage as a 97 R reg only to find it was imported from cypress and is actually a 94 model. (upset considering we paid the 97 price)

The car is in mint condition mind you and really does handle well for a front wheel drive car.

It feels very comfortable and you wouldn't know how sporty the ride was till you suddenly throw it into a corner and all of a sudden you feel the g-force and unbelievable grip.

For such a heavy well built car it should have more power.

Have none of the usual faults the mileage says it 40 000 maybes its true and that's why.

By the way don't buy one of these till you see one in white don't know why, but we were smitten when we saw a white one compared to the blues and reds we looked at the car just rocks in white.

It looks like a celicia from the rear three quarter view, but the front end headlight arrangement takes some getting used to, but nowadays it doesn't look so different as a few new cars have adopted similar front ends.

Side view roof off and a few people think its some new MR2!
