New GTI R (to be) owner
Hi guys
first wanna say two things AWSOME website would love to shake hands with the mods and admins of this forum (and ofcourse all members)
second great respect to the nissan pulsar GTI r ive been a nissan fanboi ever since i can remember!!
well basically my story is i got to drive my buddy's pulsar a few weeks ago and just had 2 get one, well i found one at tiger Japanese 1994 stock
and i was hoping to get advice, just to make things clear this is going to be my daily drive to and from college and work.
any advice would be great currently own a Nissan altima and before that infinity I35
Thnks
Look in to it good cause if you are talking about the same place that ppl have talked about on here they get some pretty skechy stuff search the site and see if there is anything about
that place good luck. Put Tiger Japanese in search and take a look
I wouldn't touch anything from there unless you can take it out, and bring it to another garage. Do a full compression and leak down test and have them go over just about everything else on the car.
id stay away from tiger, they are dicks to deal with, been there a few times looking at pulsar and they are all garbage.
Check righthanddrive in Toronto http://www.rightdrive.ca/ very clean cars and 1 year warranty
WOW tat bad eh
well i went to take a look at the car last week, the guy seem like he wasnt interested and shit lol and to take it for a test drive he wants a deposit
but ill say one thing the car is clean inside and out body looks brand new but iam gonna try pushing him to let me take the car to a mech near by tat i know.
lol also remember goin into the engine warehouse they were hosing down 2 dozen engines with a hi pressure water.
rightdrive.ca doesnt have the pulsar in stock :S
Buy it eyes closed lmao
the last thing you have to worry about in a pulsar is body and interior.... the part that will drive u crazy if its not in good shape is under the hood.
buying these cars is taking a risk somtimes just be prepared for the worst!!
no matter where or what you buy always always always test drive it!!! radio off!
pull the dip stick to check for really thick oil and overfilling
if you hear taping, the sales person could tell it's because of the mechanical lifters.... a slight taping is ok sorta exhast leak like.
A good friend bout an R32 GTR from Tiger... 5 hrs later... POW rod nock. Motor was guaranteed a++ ha not...
If they won't let you do a compression test then there afraid of the result.
Mine isn't bigger than yours.. I just like to drive
things to check
rad fluid got oil in it?
compression test
plugs are they white? black?
pull the engine codes?
does it puff blue either on full throttle, in between shifts, or as revs fall off
drive the car around, stop n go traffic, get it nice n hot, then give it a full boost run through out 1-3 even 4 if u can.
does it go through all the gears smoothly without a grind
does it idle after
http://www.rightdrive.ca/inventory_cars/view/80 here is a link right hand drive has a pulsar
^^^^WOW a warranty!!... is it void if you mod it lol
Mine isn't bigger than yours.. I just like to drive
I don't know but he is known for having some very clean cars
lol that thing is 13000 ??? thats crazy one guy on here got told and he was trying to sell for 8000 or somthing i wonder how long this guy is going to take to sell that
holy smokes $13k is insane
