1990 Nissan Silvia SX review from Australia and New Zealand
"A modifiers' dream"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Drivers seat needed to be changed as it was highly uncomfortable on long drives.
General comments?
Handles extremely well in the dry, but the rear tends to drift a bit in the wet. Once I lowered the suspension this was virtually eliminated.
The rear interior is very small, which in turn restricts you to having only one passenger in the front on most occasions.
The standard steering wheel is a bit big, but once changed for a smaller racing wheel, your turning and comfort is improved.
