wish I'd kept mine,awesome fun car.:-)

What model did you have? seems to be nothing but good words on them for a cheap run around.

Onyl issue is the dash rattle and the diff whine

89 model,3ltr Nissan motor can't kill em with a stick.

my son put a big turbo etc on his 4 years ago goes like the clappers.Oh an

if the one your gonna look at check out the exhaust tips if there still the pea shooter tips you might

have found a gem,take for a test drive check under bonnet is might be real,check if the trip meter works as well. :-)

Cheers, yer ive been trying to talk my self out of a turbo'd one.

I know as a cheap daily i should probs go non turbo as its cheaper and less to go wrong, but then again...... turbo is just more fun

Na is heaps of fun trust me :-) ,post up the one you found owned by pappy.:-)

i had one as a daily. cant fault the motor and the body is strong, drives well, pretty reliable and comfortable, but...

borg warner diff sucks, only real fix is a new centre, which is pricey

the seat backs are flimsy and will break

crappy trw steering rack will most likely piss power steering fluid

odo will break if you reset it while moving

door trim vinyl peels and looks like crap

some plastics dont like the sun, go white and shatter

live rear axle is not great, needs lowering and phat wheels to look decent

electronic box on series 3 cars kicks like a mule from first to second, only way to get around it is to hold the revs higher

basically, all the stuff that was added or changed from the jap spec cars while they were built in oz, sucks badly

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
