1991 Nissan Stanza ex review from North America
"Fast, reliable and a good clean ride"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing at all has gone wrong with the car. When I first got it I automatically ripped out the stock air intake. I then replaced it with a custome aluminum pipe and APC racing filter. I cut out the speaker setup behind the bench seats and installed 2 12" subs. I sealed off the trunk with new moldings and a lot of silicone so it won't rattle under the bass. I installed an after market fuel rail, injectors, all new filters, new oxygen sensor. I made my own custome grille by cutting and chopping the old one up and putting in billet screen. I put on after market spark plug wires and Bosch platinum 4 spark plugs. I made an after market fuel pump work from an old Nissan 300z.
General comments?
This car is an automatic, and its pushing easialy 160-175 hp, and I will blow away a lot of cars most people wouldn't believe. The ac is freezing, and the vehicle starts with no problems. I replaced the alternator after I noticed my lights would fade in and out because of my amp pushing my 12" subs. Personally I love this car, its great and its pretty fast I have gone 143mph before in it and I was only at 4,300rpms, so it will go higher. The stereo in it is worth about 2,000 dollars, I'm running 2 12" power acoustic subs with 800oz magnets each they are sick. My amp I 3,000 watts bridged and it has some serious bass. But the actual car its self is very reliable and gets me around town nice and fast. and I'm still getting 19mpg in the city and 34mph on the high way. Best of all its no cop magnet.
