Hello all, just joined the club/forum. I've bought this 1990 Sunny (Pulsar?) LS a few months back and I'm enjoying it as my runabout around west London. Only one previous owner who, after a few years using the dealership network, seems to have done all the servicing/maintenance himself. A bit tatty bodywise but mechanically in good nick. Had 57,000 miles when I bought it and have added another 3,000. Basic model (the stickers say LS model), so no frills apart from elec windows and central locking, and will need some improvements / repairs, but I don't want to turn it into something it was never meant to be, so will remain pretty stock. Just realised that it can be a bit dire for these early Japanese cars in terms of specialist garages/spares sources/etc compared to what you get for more more established, European "classic cars", but the fun is in the chase ... (Btw, I've discovered amayama.com for spares but being in Japan there's the postage cost + delays etc). Looking forward to any advice in keeping it going and of course if any get togethers or rallies are planned I'll be happy to turn up (Festival of the Unexceptional seems just right for my car!) :-) Thank you!

Hi, Gian. Welcome. That car doesn't look too bad at all! Enjoy. You might be interested in the Oh So Retro show in Margate (CT9 3PP) on 27th September co-ordinated by our (mainly) Datsun petrolhead Andrew Eve. See the link. Should be a good turn out. Your car will fit in just fine.

Hi Gian,
Good to see another survivor. These cars drive like modern cars and Nissan/Datsun's are very reliable. I think you'll enjoy the ownership experience. Just make sure you protect the underside with Waxoyl or similar and get plenty of polish on the body!
