The head gasket went as I drove it home from the dealers. (i got it from a wreckers). They gave me a 3 month warranty, so no worries.
Head went again, 4 months later. Took it back to them and they fixed it for $400 & gave me a new warranty.
Spark plugs deteriorated badly at about 198000km.
Head went AGAIN soon after! Fixed it myself this time and made sure there wasn't any warping.
New spark plugs went and took them to Coventry's. They replaced them with the proper ones that run cooler.
CV boot went, I replaced it myself for about $50.
The car has never given me any major hassles. The guys that I bought it from just did a s@#*^y job in the first place.
They probably put in hotter plugs too, to burn off any oil. Now that I have the correct parts and did all the work myself, the car has been running great.
The car also looks great in silver with black trim, and has really quick pick up, even for the non-turbo model.
On that point, was a non-turbo Nissan n12 EXA ever released? Or is it more likely that someone has taken the turbo off? (the car is an import)
If you know contact me @ cdisk08@hotmail.com.
