Re:ebay! Pulsar GTi-R
nice cars, very nice... nissan **** gti-r in england.. every ----'s got one.. 
chocolate gearboxes.. a couple of standing starts kill them, clutches dont last more than 20k miles even on stock power and its engine out to replace them, the standard inter-warmer on top of the engine is useless, just a huge heat soak.. oh and they dont handle too clever on stock suspension, brakes are ---- too
the up side is the parts arent too expensive, and with the amount of them being imported just to be broken for parts means getting hold of used spares isnt a problem.. you can pick up a 92 car in good condition for about £4000, only thing is, as with most high performance japanese imports a good 50% are stolen in japan, and the japanese insurance companies are hitting back in cooperation with the brit police, if they see a jap import, you get pulled over, the chassis number gets run while you wait and if the car has been stolen in japan it gets consifsated and sold at auction, the money then goes to the original owner in japan, or the insurance company if they have paid out..
dont get your fingers burned with a hoisty jap

Re:ebay! Pulsar GTi-R
that one has no papers, which points to being stolen as EVERY car that comes out of japan legally will have an export sheet, and most probably an auction sheet, this car WILL NOT run well on us poverty grade petrol, ----, they detonate on uk super unleaded (98 octane).. they are designed for 100 octane fuel
$6300 is stupid money for a hoisty jap import with a shitty paint job.. you could get that car here for £1500.. you can get skyline gts-t r32's with no id for £1500 here ffs
people in the us are so naive.. its a nissan sunny, just because its a japanede import doesnt make it any better... its pathetic people getting wet over something because its "JDM"
(oh, and i know of lots of renault 5 gt turbos that tan the **** off gti-r's...)
