looking for a cheap little pulsar for a daily.

the only examples in my price range are edging on 200,000+ kms.

ive never owned a pulsar past the 200,000k mark, how do they hold up? obviously its all subjective to how they have been looked after/ driven.

there are plenty for sale rearing the 300k mark, so i guess its got another 100k left in it?

FYI it2 200,000+ k's on 1999-2003 models.

cheers adam

My daughter bought this about 2 and a half years ago......

A 1 owner 1990 Pulsar Reebok..... Not for sale but I thought you may find it interesting.

It had original radio, original 1990 spare tyre. She has modernised it a bit now but it's still a great car, now has 221,000 kms.

why are people so freaked out by the 200k km mark? ive driven cars with 300k and even 450k+ mark. still drives normally.

i remember my gti, originally had 98whp back when brand new, dynoed it when it had 225k on it, did 96whp. pretty damn nice, the block was still in perfect bore too. they were +0.01mm oversized. bretty damn good for that car. had perfect service history and everything.

^^^ that's true.

My n15 pulsar has 200xxx km on it and drives like a dream. Only thing that needed to be done was the clutch 10,000 km ago.

Remember it's not like these cars get boosted nd pushed to their limits. It runs the way it came from the factory and will run almost forever. (please don't brake pulsar) haha

My crappy daily is a 1997 1.8l lancer that had 220k on the clock when i got it off of a mate for next to nothing. It now has 295k on it and is still going strong. As long as you do the usual services/maintenance then it should be fine regardless of the amount of k's it has travelled.

Ended up putting a deposit on this.

Quite happy with the condition of a car the car considering the k's.

Only problem is an aesthetic one, the drivers seat has a small tear in it, plas sone minor paint chips on front bar.

plenty of parts around for those in the wreckers. that is the first of the renault ones as well.

I had a N15 and sold it with 425k on it. still ran well and the auto still behaved.

    • Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later
    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
