1988 Nissan Bluebird ZX Turbo from UK and Ireland - Comments

Radiator leaked.

Valve guides badly worn.

Bad water leak somewhere (floods interior)

Very juicy.

Not too bad a car.

Handles very well.

Takes a good thrashing.

Comfortable seats.

Would think it would have a bit more power being a 1.8 E.F.I turbo.

I purchased a 1988 Nissan Bluebird SSS Turbo 4-wheel drive over four years ago and all I have had is problems.

First of all the Auto Transmission was slipping and required fixing, then a hole was found in the Air-conditioning Box and also required repair.

After a year the Radiator required resealing and then the Turbo went. (Expensive)

I booked the car into the Nissan Dealers and asked if they could check everything over and give it a Tune up because there was a Flat spot or a kind of jerking during acceleration. When I got the Car back the Turbo was fixed, but the Jerking was still present. The dealer stated they could not find the problem and hence the problem remained.

A Year and one week after the Turbo was fixed, it blew up again. As this happened one week after the warranty ran out, I was in for another huge repair bill.

I got sick of the problems and put the car up the drive for over a year and a half.

I have now got the car in the garage to be fixed up yet again and very expensive. I did not take the car back to the Nissan Dealer because I thought I did not get the service I asked for and being the Nissan Dealers they were very expensive.

I did not sell the car because I like driving it and it is so comfortable, especially on long distances. It is a good family car.

I must have purchased a dud because these kind of problems shouldn't be happening all the time, especially when serviced by the dealer.

This one isn't a SSS tho???
