Been driving my p11 a lot since i taxed it a beginning of june. I knew they were nice to drive but i hadn't realised just how talented these cars are. So rewarding to drive, ultra quiet and no rattles, creaks or bangs at all - really well screwed together. Nissan really didn't promote these virtues or they would have had a massive hit on their hands. Why buy a comparable eurobox instead?

I loved the interior too, especially the seats and the 6x9 speaker cabinets either side of the rear bench. Massive boot too, almost like a pickup with a glass cover. My brother would get his whole drum kit in there!
Incidentally, in about 1999 someone put a brick through the back window on mine at random in a car park, it was replaced under window cover with a £25 excess but the glass apparently cost around £1000! That was probably more than the car was worth are the time, they'd have written it off if the damage was anything else. |

My first car was a Sunny Coupe and my second the ZX, it was a great car until the rear towers rusted out and the valve seats went. My younger brother had an absolutely immaculate white ZX that we got the towers fixed before they got too far gone but someone t barred him running a red at a junction and wrote it off a few years ago. I keep looking for them coming up for sale with the idea of doing a bit of a restomod but they're so rare now and I don't have the space.

I love the shape of the b12 coupe as well, looks good from any angle. The interior is well designed with the most comfortable seats ever. Bought it to work today - love the way it drives. I will never part with it. Wondered what happened to the sunny club.

We had a couple of N600's in the stand next to us at Japfest Silverstone last year - Probably the coolest cars at the whole event if I'm honest!

My mate at work had one for a while, sold it to Geordie Chris on here. I loved it, it was just so retro and cool, the shape of them is amazing.
I had an N14 1.4 hatchback for a while, bolted the GTi-R bits on just for a laugh really. A few of us on here also ran the Nissan Sunny Owners Club for a while, started it up and it ran for a few years but it closed for being too quiet. Lot of love for the Sunny and Pulsar.

The b12 sunny coupe is my favourite. Mine for 14 years now. 203k miles and still goes well & fun to drive. Dark red. Stock aside from pulsar alloys. Excellent body & interior. Original e16 engine.

Thats a nice collection of rare Jap cars you have! Share some photos or links to the 260z and the little Honda. Is that Honda anything like the little fast-back S800's they used to rally/race I think they could rev to 9000 revs or something crazy like that.
