1984 Nissan Bluebird TR-X review from Australia and New Zealand
"Cheap to fix, comfortable and fun to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Continual water leak from the manifold down into the exhaust, have to top up the radiator every week!!
Heater core leaked all over the carpet at 280000km, had to rip it out (and the carpet).
Bent left rear axle, wheel squeaks continually when driving, goes away when the brakes are on. (Bent before I got the car, just slowly getting worse).
General comments?
This car is surprisingly comfortable and agile for its age, feels very underpowered though. The chassis could handle a lot more power!
Its a very good long distance cruiser.
The interior has held up extremely well, very few squeaks and rattles, everything still works.
Air-con works extremely well.
