1988 Nissan Pulsar NX review from North America
"A good investment"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After 2 weeks replaced the clutch.
Distributor cap/leads/plugs.
Battery completely died.
Cylinders and head gasket.
Alternator - stopped charging batteries.
Starter - died.
Gas gauge/temp gauge voltage regulator.
Rotor shield got bent.
General comments?
I got the Pulsar with 220,000 km on the engine, the body is in amazing shape. So I replaced all of the parts I listed that went wrong with brand new parts and I also got a rebuilt engine put in.
Now, I have a great looking, and running car. It's small, fast, sporty, the t-roofs are a plus and now it is very reliable.
Great first car, even though I drive the heck out of it! Actually this is the perfect first car. And make sure you get the standard tranny, it makes driving it all the more fun!
