Oh boy. Another classic rear-drive Nissan from the 80s with a big American V8 shoved under an ugly cowl induction hood…wait…that’s not a small block Chevy? That is a Toyota 1UZ-FE from some 90s Lexus with a high-rise intake manifold and a carbumafication setup. This thing is ratty, but it should be fun. Find this […]
If you are confused by the name Datsun 310GX, you are not alone. We’ve got a support group for you — it’s called Car’s That Nissan Imported To The USA To Confuse Americans Anonymous. This next car isn’t the classic rear-drive Datsun B210, nor the front-drive Datsun F10 or even the Nissan Pulsar, well maybe […]
Here is today’s quiz for the kids. Imagine you’ve got $2k to spend on a car that you need to drive twice a week to get somewhere. Don’t need to impress the inlaws or deliver Uber-eats, this is just an occasional driver, but you want something other than a clapped out Civic/Camry you could get […]
The Nissan Silvia S12 generation was a sporty compact front-engine rear-wheel-drive coupe/hatchback that was sold as the Nissan 200SX in the USA from 1984 through 1988. Rust, misplaced confidence, and general negligence (reporting for duty — SIR!) have all but removed most of these from the roads, so finding one in nice original condition with […]
I’ve got a pretty broad understanding of the automotive world, but this next car caught me of balance. It isn’t often that I see a car and think…what am I looking at? At least not a “factory” car, which you could argue that Mitsuoka Motor Co Ltd is almost an OEM. They have a website, […]
I know they say “never meet your heroes”…but man I want to own a Nissan Pulsar NX. I have fond memories of those wacky tail lights in the view through the window of whatever American sedan my parents owned when I was a kid (okay, it was a sky blue Ford LTD…complete with burn-your-hide vinyl […]
The Z32 generation Nissan 300ZX was such a dramatic styling improvement above and beyond the previous generation that it almost looks like it came from a different manufacturer. I think the 300ZX is due some love from the collector market in the next few years, because the egg shaped Z was so much cleaner that […]
The second generation Nissan Pathfinder was introduced for the 1996 model year with revised styling and a new unibody chassis to replace the outgoing body-on-frame platform. The new more road friendly Pathfinder was also joined by an Infiniti version called the QX4 and sold quite well for Nissan through the 2004 model year. Today’s example […]
This next car comes as a tip from Alex who writes: I found this little gem & thought it’d be awesome if it got posted. Don’t see many of these around anymore, hope it finds a buyer soon. Find this 1987 Nissan Pulsar NX offered for $3800 in Gaston, OR via craigslist.
So I was perusing Tijuana craigslist the other day…and wait…there’s a Tijuana craigslist? I thought all of craigslist was basically a virtual version of TJ? Anyway, it is everything you’d expect when searching craigslist cars-and-trucks by owner — Corvettes, Isuzu trucks, bulldogs, parrots, and then I found a B13 Nissan Sentra that was made in […]
