1990 Nissan Pintara Reviews - Page 2 of 2

Engine wear after so many k's so starting to burn minimal oil.

Fuel injectors need cleaning, I was using about as much as a 5.0L V8 before I had my injectors cleaned. Goes like a charm now.

This car was a bargain and is the best first car.

All the extras, climate control, cruise control, power everything.

The overall pickup of this car is awesome, especially considering it is only a 4 cylinder.

The most comfortable car around.

Only a few errors in this car like the water pump needed replacement after 10 years. The timing belt blew which stuffed it.

This car has awesome power and does the greatest burn-outs, and has been thrashed and still goes like a rocket whenever gotten into.

Differential noisy with excessive backlash. Will soon need service/replacement.

Left hand high beam headlight failure.

The car just seems to keep going... When I purchased the car it had done a lot of 'country' kilometres, but I have had no major problems.

Interior styling is dull but functional.

Steering is accurate and responsive. Has an excellent turning circle.

Wagon is quite spacious.

Would benefit from a more powerful engine when carrying heavy loads.

Clutch failed after 6 months of purchase.

Driver's side mirror lacks tension and dips while driving.

Alternator required a rebuild.

Starter motor required a rebuild.

Fuel pump required replacement.

MAJOR: A pipe recently blew while travelling on the freeway. This in turn caused the engine to fail. A re-conditioned engine was bought and installed to get it back up and running.

Even though I have spent a lot of money and a lot of time, it has been a good car in between.

It does have power for what it is, however, the 2.4 version would have been a better choice given the weight of the chassis.

It would have been good to have power steering and/or air conditioning.

The turning circle without power steering limits it severely.
