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.

    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
