Bought this car of DANDUD on here back in may and have absolutely loved every second of it. She is just so much fun to drive. Never misses a beat. Really have proved to my friends who are evo in the head that pulsars can be reliable if there looked after properly. For example my friends 407 bhp evo 5 has broke everytime we have went head to head and this pulsar comes out on top with such less power. Proper got the respect for pulsars given again which is a bonus in my eyes. Loved this car ever since i was 12. My father has had 3 and still has one running high 400+.
Anyways im selling up now because im taking a new step and moving to the US.. Thought about importing her but its just too much hassle and cash so shes free to anyone who wants a reliable quick wee car. Im just going to copy and paste the spec from the advert few threads down as its still the same as she has no needed anything. However i have done a full service in that time even though it probably wasnt needed and i will be putting 2 new front tyres on her before she goes. So here we go.
Brought into the UK in 1999. First registered here: 12/07/1999 Built in August 1992 on a K reg.
Just ticked over 100k on clocks, so about 80k miles I reckon with a mixture of miles and km.
Sunroof model and it had air con till I removed it.
Colour coded front and rear bumper strips and rear number plate surround
Rear windows and sun roof tinted
Genuine Nissan wind deflectors*
Laguna splitter
Engine:
Forged engine rebuild roughly 2500 miles ago at Nissan dealer where the previous owner worked.
Block wasn’t bored, just honed so has life left in it for a bore if needed in the future.
New 86mm CP pistons and rings
New Nissan bearings all round
New Nissan head gasket
Head stripped, rebuilt and shimmed with new shims
Standard cams and pulleys were fine so they went back in
New Nissan gaskets all round
New Nissan oil pump
New Nissan water pump
New Nissan timing chain and tensioner
New Nissan starter motor
Anything that was needed was replaced
Water hoses at back of engine were replaced with new samcos a few years ago
Turbo, intake, fueling and exhaust:
New Garrett GT28RS (Disco potato) turbo when rebuild was done. 0.64 (smaller) exhaust housing to minimise lag.
New Nissan Z32 AFM when rebuilt
Flow tested and refurbished 550CC Nismo injectors installed when rebuilt
Walbro in-tank fuel pump
Big KnN air filter on flexi intake pipe
Dawes device manual boost controller
Standard manifold and elbow
Scorpion stainless exhaust from front pipe back with de-cat pipe
Distributor and leads were new in 2009 and NGK plugs were new with rebuild
ECU etc:
Apexi power FC
AEM wideband lambda sensor and gauge with output for data logging
Cooling:
Radtek large front mounted inter-cooler with really short pipe run
Radtek large aluminium radiator with single high flow fan
Big 19row Mocal oil cooler front mounted with thermostatic sandwich plate using braided hoses
Suspension:
Tein super street coil overs with adjustable top camber mounts.
I spent days setting the geometry up properly!
Jim’s castor mod on front
Home done camber mod on back.
Whiteline front and rear anti-roll bars with poly bushes.
Rest of bushes are standard
Front and rear cusco strut braces
4 point cusco lower front brace
4 point bolt in rear cage that allows the use of rear seats (No diagonal bars)
Brakes, wheels and tyres:
K-Sport 6pot front brake kit with 300mm discs and Mintex 1155 pads only done about 2-3k miles
Rear brakes standard with Mintex 1155 pads again done 2-3k
Braided brake hoses all round
17” lightweight multi-spoke alloys (Kosei) I think, powder coated in metallic black last year
Good Goodyear Eagle F1's all round with loads of life left on the back. Will replace with same before she goes.
New rear brake lines made up from front to back last year
Drivetrain:
RPS Max street clutch rated to 450lb ft only done about 4k miles
Fidanza lightweight flywheel
Gearbox was stripped and rebuilt with new bearings and 2 new syncros in 2009.
Fairly recent master and slave cylinder
Clutch pedal support bracket
Strengthened clutch fork
Poly bush gear shifter bush
Braided clutch hose
Interior:
Lockwood white dial kit.
Standard seats etc
Suede 330mm steering wheel on boss, have Nardi Torino leather wheel with boss too
4 point harness on drivers seat as well as standard belts all round
2 pod pillar gauge holder thingy with boost gauge and AEM wideband AFR gauge
Battery in box in boot along with washer bottle
Good stereo set-up with 4 channel Clarion amp in boot driving 6x9's on parcel shelf and 6” clarion components in sound deadened front doors, clarion head unit with AUX in and hard drive.
Mapped by Matt at TRL Halifax making 333bhp and 300lb ft at the fly. Spools up ridiculously quick with the smaller exhaust housing (20psi by 3000rpm). If you changed the exhaust housing for the 0.86 and remapped it she would make 370ish at a guess on the same turbo. But I prefer the minimal-lag approach. Boost peaks at 20psi and drops to 16psi higher in rev range as the turbo is maxed out. Injectors were at 90% duty IIRC at standard base fuel pressure. The torque curve is pretty flat so i rairly have to go above 5k rpm.
The car went to the bodyshop just before i bought it having had both sills replaced with new Nissan items so the shell is solid and been properly undersealed!
Only bad points I suppose are of course the inevitable REAR ARCHES. Dont think anyone can dodge that bullet. But nothing your man Scott Berry couldnt sort out.. as this car was pretty much booked in to him to have them fixed before i decided to move away. But back on subject there’s a few light scratches here and there and stone chips on the bonnet and front bumper but what do you expect for a 22 year old Nissan Sunny. Its been a drivers car not a show n shine.
Shes MOT'd till april 2015 and im not sure how this new electronic tax thing works out yet but the tax runs out this month. im sure the new buyer has to tax the car now regardless. Anyways if you have anymore questions let me know.
Some pics of how she sits just now.
So im looking for £4000.
