New car just purchased (non mini)
Turbo Mini Forums

well i have always wanted one and i saw it come up local to me from a importer that imported it 2weeks ago. went and saw it Sunday and just loved it! so put down my deposit to collect it Sunday

Its a 1991 Nissan Pulsar GTI-R, 2.0 16v Turbo plus AWD8-)

basically i wanted a another car mid this year as my daily (punto turbo) as its pain in ass trying keep it on road and i didn't want a N/A car so i have got this instead! some may say its ugly i couldn't agree more but i think its so ugly it looks good! only thing i don't like is the alloys so i will swapping them for some others when i have bit of cash

i did pay allot for this if not more then its worth but its only done 48k miles,1 owner and full service history also it is in mint condition with not a mark on it. it came with a set of Tein Coilovers and 3 strut braces (yes 3!) so there wont be another one like it. also this does mean the mini turbo project is on hold for a little bit but im going on work on the little things in the mean time (getting the block done etc....)

so heres the pics

looks ok

they have very weak gearbox's iirc

I've always quite liked those, but Neil is right, the gearboxes are made of cheese.

Awesome, awesome, awesome!! I absolutely love it. I remember reading somewhere that it's the gearbox cases that explode under drag type starts. get JohnK to cryo treat it 8-)

coool, i've always wanted one aswell but the gearboxes have put me off.

yeh the gearboxes aint great but its from when you still launch it off the lights or dragging so i am aware not to do that (just yet)

Just fir cheapo tyres and go nuts

big fan. it was out of a pulsar and my cosworth a few years back. as my name probably gives it away,i took the cossie. but id still love one of these. big tuning potential, BIG!!

If your wife wants to learn to drive, don't stand in her way.

love driving these, great fun. hate changing gearboxes and transfer cases lol

Great find, it rocks !

Rusty by nature

should of bought a 1.1 polo and spent the money on the mini hahaha. nah this is going to be a fun daily

I like it always wanted one..

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

Yeah like it... Quite rare to find an un-abused one, fair play

done abit more research on them and it seems its where people are launch them off the lights and abusing the gearboxes (ending in stripping gears and blowing transfer boxes)

but with this being very low millage and non abused i think it should be just fine as i know for sure i wont be abusing it!

well its home! and it drives lovely! no knocks or rattles!

also after a good look have found it also has a lower brace (so four in total),short shifter(one of the best short shifters i have used very short and just slots straight into gear!,uprated clutch

couple of piccys
(the bonnet was open on first one)








so i am very chuffed! cant wait to get it on the road now!

nice, have always liked these cars

arnt the boxes ok to about 350 nana's though?

must have been made at the same place rover got the mpi boxe's made....

well the gearbox is still intact you will be pleased to know lol

been on the road over a month now and have loved every day of it! such a awesome machine to believe its 20years old! still have not touched it so all standard still but im looking at upping the boost to a safe 1 bar once i receive my fuel pump:)

few new photos
