1989 Nissan EXA N13 Grand Prix Edition from Australia and New Zealand - Comments

Power steering seal leak, fluid dripped onto front bushes and dissolved them. Bushes had to be replaced.

Front wheel alignment doesn't like to hold.

Air conditioning pipe broken in previous owner's front end crash. Genuine part only available, too expensive.

Targa roof seals leak.

Even though a few things have gone wrong with the car (which is to be expected with a car of this age), it is still a fantastic car to drive and be seen in.

Handling is superb, and the car often feels unbeatable on corners, even with a lot of weight in the front end under-steer isn't too much of a problem.

The CA18 engine is very strong and likes to rev high, freely reaching its 7500rpm red-line, providing a fast take off and a conservative high end speed of around 200kmph.

Targa roof is fantastic, and coupled with the removable rear hatch, makes this car a perfect summer driver.

The interior is in keeping with the majority of the Nissan range, and is quite modern, even by today's standards. The front seats are very high backed and have slots for 4 point harnesses to be attached as well as racing style side support. Not much room for rear passengers, but the rear seat does fold down to create more room for sub-woofers.

As far as styling goes, these cars are real head turners! Pop-up headlights and sharp lines mean that these cars attract attention wherever they go, and more with the roof off. People are often surprised to know how old these cars actually are. They are modern, sexy and very fun, with a lot of room for aftermarket improvement.

Highly recommend these cars to anyone, and especially if you can find the precious few turbo swapped CA18DET models - these really fly!

In Latin America, the part's problem of the pulsar EXA N12 N13 N14, is the Mexican Nissan's plant. Because they don't produce that kind of cars and models like N12 with the e13 engine are not provide for US market, then the owners buy original parts by request of japan, or adapt parts from other models.
