If you've been looking for an elusive clean and original genuine quality GTi-R Pulsar, your search may be over! - This example's way tidier than the typical examples we check that are selling at Japanese auctions. Usually we leave them, but this example was too good to miss. It's the first we've bought for stock in the last 12 months.
The Pulsar GTi-R needs little introduction. This was one of the first 4WD rally fugitives released onto the market in the UK. With very strong road holding and 0-60 in 5.7 seconds it had performance that no other comparable car at the time could muster. The SR20 engine is a strong unit, with lots of tunability and nowadays tuning parts available to make more power, handling and braking.But that would be missing the point of this car. As original unmolested cars they’re completely reliable. But if the engine is made to give a lot more power, the gearbox and clutch are known to be weak points, failing as a result of being asked to transmit more than they were originally designed to do. It’s far better to keep these near standard – or if you must tune one, get one that’s not been tuned before so you can be sure the drive train still has it’s integrity as Nissan intended it.
Knowing these cars well, we’ve only ever supplied near standard and therefore trouble free examples that have been well looked after, covered low genuine mileages and are completely rust free. As the best of the breed are typically the most expensive to buy in Japan, this means in the UK the vast majority of GTi-R’s imported from Japan are of the opposite end of the scale. This is why people looking for GTi-R’s usually come to us after months of searching because they simply cannot find a pukka, clean and truly well looked after example.This car's documentation includes records of service and mileage. It also states that the speedometer was replaced with a new one (illegal for even a Nissan dealer to tamper with an odometer in Japan) at exactly 83,250km, so with 564km now on the odometer, the total is 83,814km = 52,090 miles. Interior, brakes, exterior, drive, etc. all correspond to this mileage also. When converting this car in UK to run in MPH, we will also recalibrate the odometer to show the above total.
Factory fitted specification includes: Optional ABS, guard, remote controlled door mirrors with retract mode, climate control air conditioning, PAS, electric windows, rear wiper, lightly tinted glass at the front with optional privacy glass in the rear, optional wind deflectors on doors, central locking. Note this is a revision 2 model of the GTi-R, so it carries upgraded interior trim and no umbrella storage in the driver’s B pilar. This example also carries optional wind deflectors for the side doors.
Original 14” wheels have been replaced with those shown in pictures. These are shod all weather tyres. The steering wheel has been replaced with a Nardi classic item and there’s an alloy gear knob too.Other parts such as suspension, boost controller, etc. are available direct from Japan to further tune this car if desired, although we recommend keeping the turbo boost below 1 bar for reliability. All tuning cosmetic parts available in Japan can be supplied by www.neweraparts.com for this car.
This has been a non smoker's car. Auction sheet is available upon request. Interior is in excellent condition, with only a missing cigar lighter, 2 small mounting holes on the rear parcel shelf and no audio to report (Mounting plates are there - we can supply a DIN harness kit if desired). The exterior is also in excellent original condition. Rear arches are prone to rusting on these. On this example there is no rust at all. Being a car originally supplied in Tokyo, where there is no salt on roads during winter, as well as having covered very low mileage and having absolutely no rust underneath – this GTi-R looks as if it's had minimal if any winter use. We washed this car and examined carefully to find all faults on the bodywork: n/s/f bumper corner has scratches. Both rear mudflaps scratched lightly. One small touch up mark on the bonnet. That's all!Please note: All faults discribed are shown in this car’s pictures. These minor faults are too small to repair, if the car's to be offered at low price. Newera Developments can repair and respray the rear mudflaps and scratches to the front bumper at cost of approx £250 if preferred.
We test drove this GTi-R and found it drove absolutely faultlessly. Brakes work well, with no signs of warping. The gearbox works sweetly clutch is good, handling is tight, too. Engine has also been serviced again recently - as the oil is clean. Performance is strong with 0.6 Bar of standard boost. This example is probably too good to be used as a car for daily use - as it's so well preserved, but would do the job admirably and reliably.
