1985 Nissan Silvia ZX Turbo 1.8 turbo from UK and Ireland

Summary:

A rare gem

Alternator gave up the ghost.

This car is a real gem, very underrated.

Fast, very reliable, rare.

Engine is fairly easy to upgrade.

The Japanese really know how to build a car; 130k on the clock - starts first time and hardly any rust!

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Problems with turbo, extremely expensive to replace!

Very good performance, nice handling, sporty looks. Bad points would be the sheer amount of petrol it gets through. Benefits from sports exhaust.
