that goes up to 205/55/17

but it is bigger than the P12

I've been looking but drew a blank on that tyre size, it seems unusual for a factory Nissan size, that width.

Bingo, you got it Steve.

And these pics I think are my actual car:

One of the problems at the moment, it is still on snow tyres so I have to tiptoe on roundabouts or the traction control kicks in

Pics of the car and the engine!

Here in Spain we are too poor to receive the V8 Nissan engines, most people don't know about that epic motors on a Nissan.

Hi Schwen,

just one page back I put a link to my car:
https://www.autorec.co.jp/NISSAN/CIMA/19586A4SJ.html" rel="nofollow - https://www.autorec.co.jp/NISSAN/CIMA/19586A4SJ.html

The engine bay is covered with a big panel saying V8, not much to see without dismantling it a bit


Posted By: Capoeirista
Date Posted: 07 Oct 2019 at 10:05pm
well mine was made in japan, and as taxes and repairs are very very expensive when it fails the japanese equivalent of an MOT you can get them amazingly cheap secondhand.
Mine had just over 60K kilometres on the clock when I bought it, and it is a 2007 car.
It is usually Yakusa who own these cars so you just know it has not got any parking dings, no one would dare to

What a car!

Dislike the engine covers, a good V8 should be shown as a work of art and not hidden like a crappy diesel

yes, and the drivers seat moves back, and steering wheel goes up out of the way when you take the key out to make it easier to get in and out as well, its all those whistles and bells that make it 1.86 tonnes.

When is the next ace cafe meet?

It sounds like the Lexus LS400 I had, that did the steering wheel thing, was a funny car to own, huge!

I almost bought a jdm ls400 a while ago, but not as clean and low mileage as this one, yes it is a big car, but only 4" wider than a Micra!!! hard to believe but the wikipedia numbers say it is only a bit wider, its the height and length that make the car.
