R&A Autos Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Hello my name is Nathan & I live in Australia but I spent most of my life in the UK Should I buy a Nissan Pulsar GTR-I I have found one for sale but I don't have pictures because it is a local car and I can't find it on the internet. The Pulsar GTR-I might seem chavy or roadman-esq but I think they're nice little pocket rockets, the GTR-I came with a SR20DET if you don't know what that stands for (you probably do) it stands forSR - Engine code name20 - 2L displacementD - Dual Overhead CamshaftE - Electronic Fuel InjectionT - Turbo This car was sold as a Nissan Sunny GTR-I in Europe but many people imported the Pulsar name badge variants into the UK.

panhard65 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 If it needs a clutch avoid like the plague. We had a customer with one back when they were fairly new. The clutch went so we said it can't be that bad and started to do it. With 2 of us on it for a full day we still hadn't got the box out. The guy I was working with at the time rang Nissan motorsport as they were still rallying them. The bloke said he could do them in a puddle in under an hour, but that was the rally version where they binned all the extra brackets round the manifold and left the one hidden bolt out that was between the gearbox and transfer box. We got there in the end but it was a nightmare. The bloody thing got nicked a few months later and ended up as a Cat C and went off for salvage alf892, Braddon81 and R&A Autos 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95 quid Peugeot Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 i had one many years ago, grey import when i couldnt find a decent Subaru It had sat around in the dealers for a while as not as popular as an Impreza during final haggling he offered to throw a warranty in free, boy how pleased he did, i had a starter motor problem and it ended up at a Nissan main dealers.. their scheduled time for a replacement was about 11 hrs everything either removed or out, i know they didnt get it done in that time either.. Would i have another ...yep...but only in stock condition, R&A Autos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omegod Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I used to see loads of these when going for a drool at Warrenders in Preston, usually he brought over a load of used ones which were tricked up to the hilt by Jap yoofs, I'd be sticking to a stock one too tooSavvy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fordperv Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 In a short answer yes they are great little cars, used to see them all the time back in the day, there used to be a mechanic local to me who specialised in them He usually had around 5 in for repair/modifications at 1 time and had a few himself, a great alternative to a cosworth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Point of order - I believe it's GTI-R. They rot horribly well, so if you can find a sound one to bring over, you should definitely make it so. Not exactly prime Autoshite fodder (that'd be a red Sunny N14 saloon with a miserable engine), but nice motors. overrun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

overrun Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 How cheap is it? I’ve an N14 DET ECU, engine loom and injector resistor pack somewhere for one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiperCub Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I'd say yes if it's pretty well stock and reasonably unmolested as indicated above, I'd heard they could be a bit of a bitch to work on and some certain (unique to the model) spares were a bit hard to find as it was essentially a JDM car at heart. The engine is the same one used in the 200SX and is one of the strongest and most tuneable engines to come out of Japan. The 'Drift' (innit) brigade tune the shit out of them and then proceed to beat them like it owes them money and they seldom get destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghosty Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 If that's AU$6000 that's cheap (£3500). If it's £6000 it's about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'Drift' (innit) brigade tune the shit out of them and then proceed to beat them like it owes them money and they seldom get destroyed.IIRC the N14 version has a few improvements due to it’s rally purpose (valve gear train springs to mind) but in FWD configuration it’s different enough for the 200sx crowd to not bother with them. I think the ultimate version was the SR20VET which went in JDM X-Trails and made about 270bhp? Ir hybrid versions using the head off the Pulsar VR with it’s screaming 1.6 and highly developed cylinder head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
