1983 Nissan 280C review from Australia and New Zealand
"An excellent car to own and drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not too many complaints about it, a few things though:
Fuel Pump needed replacing at about 60,000kms.
Head & other gaskets needed replacing.
A few rust spots, but after all it is over 20 years old.
General comments?
As the only car I have ever owned, bought for me by my father, I find is is a very good vehicle.
Given that it has only done 75,000kms, and only 50,000 when I bought it, the engine is is top condition.
The interior is very nice, polished wood grain finish with no wear or damage spots.
It is very comfortable to drive and the suspension is nicely balanced, up there with most newer Holden's.
The power steering, powers windows, power mirrors etc, have been in top condition.
