Pulse Quickening (?) Early Pulsar NX

This variety of Nissan Pulsar – known as the Pulsar EXA in Japan – was sold for two generations in the US before being replaced by the Nissan NX1600 and NX2000 for the 1991 model year.  The NX2000 has a justifiably great reputation for performance, given its B13 “Classic” SE-R underpinnings.  Unfortunately, however, the US market never got exciting versions of this earlier generation.  These looked sporty enough at the time, however, with aggressive, wedgy styling and flip-up headlamps.


This is a very low-mileage, original version; but, sadly, this one has an automatics transmission.  Don’t expect excitement here!  Given the odd combination of low miles, superb condition and unfortunate performance, it’s hard to predict the auction result here.

Here’s that classic Pulsar profile – in this case with lots of decals.  Wheel covers appear to be original.

Flip-up headlamps complete the 80s look.

Ducktail spoiler probably does nothing for aerodynamics, but adds interest at rear.

Here’s the view most will see when stuck behind this one on two-lane roads.

Interior is pure 80s Japanese.  Seat bolster pattern is very cool.

Here’s the c-stack layout.  As previously discussed, this one is transmission challenged.

Here’s the trunk, complete with sunroof cover.

1.6L four cylinder should be simple and reliable, but not particularly exciting.

1983 Datsun Pulsar NX. This is the first year of production for the 2 door coupe. This is all original down to the fuel filter. 41,000 original miles.(CHECK THE AUTOCHECK REPORT) A true time capsule from 1983. A true collectors piece. Guaranteed to never find one like it.

Originally bought in Sacramento at Florin Road Datsun. The car still has its original license plates along with the Datsun dealership license plate frames from 1983.

The original owner rarely drove the car. Just back and forth to church and weekend errands. Kept in her garage its whole life, there is no sun damage to the interior or even the back of the rear seat were the sun beats down through the rear window.

The interior is really clean. No rips or tears on any of the seats, door panels, carpets or headliner. It shows near new! Original radio that still sounds great. Sunroof flips up easily and it does have the sun cover for it. (in the truck picture) All instruments work including heater, tachometer, odometer and speedometer. (Only the clock is in-op)

The exterior is all original with all of its original decals still intact. Paint still shines very well. Original hubcaps are all still in great shape. No accidents. Very clean underneath as well.

Brand new tires.

The motor runs very well. Everything is original even the fuel filter. I replaced the timing belt, which was original, due to the age of it. Original sparkplug wires, radiator, hoses, fuel lines, everything. Its amazing to see.

Trunk carpet is very clean. No stains or rips. Even has its original spare tire that has never been mounted to the car. It still has its original stick on the rim for installation procedures.

Original radio in working condition.

All original interior. No rips or tears.

Very clean interior and exterior.

All original decals.

Smooth running motor and transmission.
