Oh Nissan Rasheen, where have you been all my life? Why have I not known your sweet boxy shape before…wait, I posted one back in July 2020. Perhaps the COVID mask was cutting off the flow of oxygen to my brain and I’ve forgotten about it. I hope to eventually forget all of 2020, but […]
This next car comes as a seller submission from Josh who writes: It’s a clean and unmolested 2004 Infiniti M45. I know you know the basics, this body style was only available in the US in 2003 and 2004, it’s based on the Japanese Nissan Gloria, and has the VK45DE V8 from the Q45 shoehorned […]
Wow, that is a lot of money for an 80s Nissan. Or any Nissan, now that I think about it. Particularly one with a slushbox and front-wheel-drive. But put aside your credulity. and marvel at the condition of this 30k mile Nissan Pulsar NX. It comes with both standard coupe roof and wagon “Sportbak” roof […]
The B12 (1986-1990) Nissan Sentra Sport Coupe might share the Sentra name with the more common sedan, hatchback, and wagon versions, but it shares none of the body components and has a sporty raked grill that looks very different from the typical Sentra. It was also built in Japan (instead of Tennessee) and had dual […]
The Pao was part of Nissan’s Pike (don’t ask me why they were called Pike) car series that included the Pao, S-Cargo, Figaro, Be-1, and K10-Micra. Goofy names aside, the Pike cars were retro-styled econoboxes from the late ’80s and early ’90s that combined simple Nissan mechanical front-drive parts with funky styling and cool interiors. […]
This next car comes as a tip from David in Tampa who writes: C’mon man, 70k miles alone makes this interesting. I’m guessing that the introduction of the Nissan NX1600 killed this coupe in America but it still has some compelling origami styling. Find this 1990 Nissan Sentra offered for $4000 in Largo, FL via […]
If you are going to drive a kit car that looks like a multi-million dollar car, it had better at least make some noise like the real thing. This next kit might look like a Ferrari on the outside, but it has stock Datsun mechanicals and won’t make the right noises…so you need to start […]
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 […]
