The GTIR is a beast in a straight line. A mate owned one years ago, but went through 2 gearboxes in a couple of years, lol.

 

[imprezaworks]

On first glance it looked scrap value lol

 

[davo172]

Get you pizzas quicker in that !

 

[R3k1355]

The N1 is rare as f**k.

Nearly 200bhp from a 1.6 N/A engine on a production car?!?!

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah stats are good. Just looks a bit crap.

Sleeper mode engaged

Did you follow the link? That's no gtir!

I don't care how rare a car is, when it looks like that you'd get laughed out of any car meet.

I know it isn't, I didn't say the linked model was a GTIR. Just pointing out how quick the GTIR variant of a Pulsar is. A well looked after one definitely wont get laughed out of a car meet, the one in the link would though.

Thats how most of them looked to be fair, majority of pictures online show them to be white so not sure if it was only a single colour thing?
8600 rpm rev limit though!

Almera looks a bit of a bread van, but was meant to be a good car. The GTI was meant to have a decent chassis I think. A friend had a couple of Primera GTs with the same engine and they seemed to go ok. I quite like the N1. It's an oddball homologation special, so it's cool. Can't say I would care too much what the local VXR/ST/car park bunch think.

 

[imprezaworks]

that looks a hundred times better

 

[R3k1355]

Lacks the spoiler or fog lights, s**t wheels, s**t pictures.

Looks to be about 3 different shades of white, but could just be the potato used to picture it.

I don’t mind some of the old jap cars that are a bit different from the Impreza/vtec/evo. I almost bought a Starlet GT turbo years ago, I love them. 250bhp could be had pretty easily and with it being a little tin can, it could surprise decent spec Impreza/evos (in a straight line).

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah those starlets went like the clappers

 

[Ray Gin]

Yeah those starlets went like the clappers

Been in a Starlet Glanza before too, tell you what I wouldn’t like to crash one!

 

[BashRacing]

The Engine in the N1 was special, the rest of the car was meh

Nah fook that lol

I’d say the rest of the car was special in another way

This is what I love about Jap cars (JDM in particular) - the bonkers, small volume units of specials that would slip by 99% of the buying public.

Yes, it looks poor. Yes, you would probably get sneered at. But to those few people that would know - it would be a cool, and very rare car, to see.

Not just a straight line. There's a few I've seen competing and fook me they are hillclimb MONSTERs.

 

[Coops Mk1]

I think that's mega, make a cracking track beast and that engine sounds mega fun

I hit a kerb at 100mph in one once. Was quite scary but also quite good.

f**k that lol. 80 on back roads was enough for me, mind you it was on cut springs, lol.

It was like 3 in the morning going through a 30 zone LOL. Was a long time ago now. Wrote it off! Couldnt get the parts for them lol

Think this would be awesome. Total sleeper. Sounds like a screamer of an engine as well. Huge potential to a knowing buyer.

 

[AdDaMan]

Hardly a sleeper is it! Most 320d bmw’s would spank that.

Overnight from Japan?

 

[AdDaMan]

Overnight from Japan?

Couldn’t, Hector swallowed up all the stock.

 

[Danith]

JDM taxed to the max! Cool but s**t at the same time. Impressive power from a 1.6 though

 

[Marky_]

This is just a Nissan Sunny

 

[adamlstr]

I quite like it, but I don't like it enough for 4.5K !

 

[R3k1355]

I like the way no-one bats an eyelid at Trophy's priced near £20,000.

but an odd JDM Sunny comes along, with basically a factory fitted race engine and it's laughed at :kissingheart:

 

[James]

I'd love to put that engine in a Micra

 

[Mr Burns]

I quite like it, but I don't like it enough for 4.5K !

Same. Would be awesome to enter a sprint/hillclimb championship in. I don't really care what it looks like, I think most cars look sh*t anyway.

Looks better than a Nissan Joke, I mean Juke.
