wish I'd kept mine,awesome fun car.:-)

What model did you have? seems to be nothing but good words on them for a cheap run around.

Onyl issue is the dash rattle and the diff whine

89 model,3ltr Nissan motor can't kill em with a stick.

my son put a big turbo etc on his 4 years ago goes like the clappers.Oh an

if the one your gonna look at check out the exhaust tips if there still the pea shooter tips you might

have found a gem,take for a test drive check under bonnet is might be real,check if the trip meter works as well. :-)

Cheers, yer ive been trying to talk my self out of a turbo'd one.

I know as a cheap daily i should probs go non turbo as its cheaper and less to go wrong, but then again...... turbo is just more fun

Na is heaps of fun trust me :-) ,post up the one you found owned by pappy.:-)

i had one as a daily. cant fault the motor and the body is strong, drives well, pretty reliable and comfortable, but...

borg warner diff sucks, only real fix is a new centre, which is pricey

the seat backs are flimsy and will break

crappy trw steering rack will most likely piss power steering fluid

odo will break if you reset it while moving

door trim vinyl peels and looks like crap

some plastics dont like the sun, go white and shatter

live rear axle is not great, needs lowering and phat wheels to look decent

electronic box on series 3 cars kicks like a mule from first to second, only way to get around it is to hold the revs higher

basically, all the stuff that was added or changed from the jap spec cars while they were built in oz, sucks badly

    • yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)
    • Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions
    • Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣
    • Is the toolbox that damaged the boot seal the same item that fell on the car during the storm a while back?
    • Who are you to deny yourself? I’ve said this many times to myself and apart from getting what I really want, I go quiet for a while whilst working out what I just did to my savings and how will I afford what it cost, then, next payday…
