My buddy bought the car, and never thought to check if there was oil in the trans. There wasn't. He told me "If you want to find a trans for it, you can just have it." So that's what I did. Not my everyday car, just a fun little run around. I've been fixing it up a little here and there. Didn't need much to begin with though.

There's never going to be a day when buying a 1986 Nissan Pulsar isn't cool

Nice, gonna do some mainies in the Pulsie?

My old Sunny Coupé (RZ-1, how I wish it was called that in Europe too):
BuyMeBonestormOrGoToHell
Wow, I haven't seen a Pulsar in years...and the Panasport/Minilite-style wheels work very well on it!
350SBC
There aren't many things of this sort of vintage that Panasports don't work on, excellent wheel choice.
Zags
This one is a survivor. Other than the trans which I had to replace, and the wheels which I replaced just for fun, it's completely original.

+1 for keeping a good old car like that alive. Gotta love an ol nissan.

I like it, it looks like the mr2. It's sad that car makers don't make the flip up lights anymore. They are badass.
scarycookiemonster
I've heard somewhere that newer pedestrian impact standards killed popup lights. Sounds plausible.
Mandarinduck
Ah, that sounds like a good reason that popup lights got completely killed. This makes me sad that there will never be a come back.

Sweet rotas bro.( i have the same pair in gunmetal grey :)

Thought this was an AE86 from the thumbnail and title. Still a nice car though.

I also drive a car from 86. http://imgur.com/beIBSMD They never die.

Is that a Skylark? My parents had one of those in the early 90's.

Nope, but it is the other Dakota.

Dang, makes me miss my 86 Mazda colt. Friend just one of these tho, looking forward to work on it with him

Man, makes me reminisce my two old jap cars. 76 and 83 Toyota Celica. Loved those things
basedDerek
For a second I thought this was the same car as the one in Initial D.

I love my AE86 and 80s cars, but they weren't exempt from the "every car looks alike" thing: http://imgur.com/zibP7jG

YES 80's Japanese cars are my jam. My old 88 Starion: http://imgur.com/z3GoIH8

Man, that's nice. Starions had some of the coolest factory wheels ever.
kmaz
Thanks, yours is clean too! I found those wheels will fit my new Mini if I use wobble bolts, but I dunno. Offset is super-negative on those.
TemporaryUzername
me too. my fav era of all cars, especially japs.
Imreallynotsoclever
Grew up next door to a guy who had the same car but white paint. He dogged it and treated it like shit (spoiled). Hated to watch it happen..
kmaz
My Starion LOVED getting flogged. I'd run boost as high as 21PSI but would cruise @ 18. I tried to run lower @ 12 or 14 and it HATED it.
cboxchamp
nice car op
MrBart
Wait is that an import (if you live in merica) or a Chrysler conquest? Basically same car lol just curious.
kmaz
Correct, same car. Also know as the Plymouth Technica with a DIGITAL FUCKING DASHBOARD
ZachPutland
My goal is to get an '80s car with a digital dash as a project/weekend car
MrBart
I really want to swap a nx1000 digital cluster into my 240. Not hard to do but finding one and not paying 300+ is hard
TemporaryUzername
loved the digi dash on my 300zx
MrBart
I love those

Old japanese cars is my passion, beautiful pulsar! Here is my s13

Sick S13!! Love it. Not a Nissan, but here's my little piece of Japanese history

Beautiful! Ill have an mr2 turbo any day! :)

I'm fed up with my van, I want a car like that to have road trip with my husband and.... Without kids !!!! "Sorry kids ! Bye"

I like vans
jinky74
I had one of these. Drove it into the ground and left on the side of the freeway. Good car for $500
WackTheHorld
Well, I hope that there's still no oil in the transmission...
Zags
The 5 speeds are designed to take 5w30 motor oil. How cool is that?
julkinen
I was hoping this was the 5spd!
TheLimpinBiscuit
Why wouldn't you put oil in the engine and transmission fluid in the transmission?
WackTheHorld
Rad, that makes maintenance easy!
Zags
You don't even have to measure. The manual literally says "Fill until oil runs out of the fill port." :D

Damn, either Takumi is tiny or something's off with that perspective. My AE86 is barely bigger than a Miata.
WittyAttemptAtAUsername
Not quite, though this looks similar to the AE86 Takumi faces off against in Final Stage.
terriblethunderlizards
i like it for some reason. what engine is in it?
Zags
Its the E16. 1.6 NA. Not at all powerful, but it gets the job done, and runs like a top.
LvAllen
Got more guts than the 1993 Geo Metro Convertible (3-cylinder, 1.0L). Yes, I did drive one for a while.

She may not move but she looks pretty. Nice job.

literally about as much power as a top

A raging 70 horsepower!

i remember driving one in highschool with my friends and saying "no my foot is all the way down, that's it guys."
RudeDudeInABadMood
My highschool girlfriend had a 60 hp mercedes diesel. I don't know how you stand it.
Halfton81
Heh that Nissan weighs almost half what a diesel Merc does.
Zags
Well, my other car is a corvette, so I can satisfy my power needs there. But the pulsar is just as fun, in a go kart way.

That's legit. I recent lost my 1988 Mazda 323 GTX to a flood. Sad sad day.

I lost my '04 Mazda RX-8 to a Flood years back in Memphis, it was like loosing a family member .
OolonColuphid
Cool car. I always wanted one of those.
whatdoesthisthingdoanyways
I had one of those. Not impressed. Main reason I hate Mazda/ford
Danceswithmoonmoon
My 99 Oldsmobile alero may soon be on the same path. They hit me and are saying the repairs will probably cost more than the car

Any lost 323 GTX is a sad, sad thing.

*internet hugs
Gregbear
Good lord. I love those. When I have money and time, I'd like to do the full GTX swap into a Mx-3
DeliriousPuma
Would you use the turbo motor? Or can you use the tiny v6? That would be a cool little car.
Gregbear
Turbo 1.8 4-cyl. The v6's don't bolt up to the same transmissions as the 4's. BUT you can put the VVT mx-5 head on there with a MS3x.

I lost my Jeep Grand Cherokee to a flash flood in May. The pain doesn't leave it just grows dull.

Oh man, that's awful, I love those things. Sorry to hear that.
enjoylongwalksonthebeach
They only made 500 of those! I had an 88
onikame
1242 of them were sold in america between 88 and 89, many others were sold in japan and england before that. not many on the road still.
TylerTrashy
You can find them for around 2k here in so cal, usually in shit condition.

My first love was a red 1989 Toyota Celica Gt convertible. She is still somewhat alive. Summer whip.

I lost my `99 Mazda MX-5 when someone driving a truck decided to take their eyes off the road.
TemporaryUzername
miatas are a dime a dozen, though. i mean, that sucks and i'm sad for you- but they're no 323 GTX.
TylerTrashy
There are some rare miatas, just as rare as 323 gtx
TylerTrashy
Sorry for the loss, just sold my 1985 corolla gts "86" to help keep my 1995 Mazda my-5 alive!!
onikame
omg dude, for a miata!? It shoot my little brother for a gts. (in the leg or something)
TylerTrashy
Miata is a better car imho, and I have owned 3 86s
sangatster
I forgot about these. I have driven 4 2 seaters in my life. This one was pretty cool.
onikame
Easily one of the most fun cars I had ever owned

My favorite was a 1986 MR2. Got it for under $3K, drove it for years.m
