1986 Nissan Skyline L 1.8
Summary:
Bullet proof!
Faults:
Slight oil leak from the differential.
Cloth seats very badly worn.
Shocks very bad and had to be replaced.
Tail light needed fixing as it was falling apart.
All the above items were fixed/replaced after purchase at 386,000 km.
General Comments:
Car was parked under a tree in my neighbour's yard for 2 years before I bought it for next to nothing.
This Nissan started first time, and it did not even need a battery change.
Starts every single time, no matter the weather.
The interior leg room is fine, but there is very little space for rear passengers.
Huge boot, and I never managed to completely fill it.
Car is very slow due to its size, and is powered by a Nissan 1.8 carb. engine.
There are a few rattles still coming from the suspension, but there are absolutely no squeaks at all from the interior.
Considering that this car is used daily to transport construction equipment (sometimes with a small trailer in tow), it has yet to let me down!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
