 Re: My exa
it's a sports sedan,so it could be rear wheel drive ,especially the way it's power oversteering.

The E15 Turbo was an interesting setup.

I remember the "Wheels Magazine" review, where they said the boost came on like an unwanted guest, and the panelwork would shake and rattle. I'll try and find exactly what they said.

Yes, we had Pulsars here in North America.

This is the 1984-up model. We got a turbo model, but I don't think it was called Pulsar EXA. Just called "Pulsar Turbo" if I remember correctly. I wanted one in 1984 ...

The MR2 is mid-engine RWD. The Pulsar was front-engine FWD (FF as the japanese say). Very different beasts, the Pulsar was a sporty economy car, while MR2 was a true sports car with no back seat.

1984 Pulsar Turbo in the U.S.?

You're confusing it with the 1984 200SX Turbo?

 Re: My exa
there was a turbo version of the Pulsar in Aus, known as the Pulsar ET turbo.

The EXA was built on the same platform and used the same engine and mechanical (apart from rear discs), but it is not a Pulsar, however closely related they are.

Ah, matbighat, still you doubt.

Yes, Pulsar Turbo was sold in USA. My wife even got to drive one as a loaner car during the 80s. Not sure exactly which years the turbo model was offered. Maybe not the first year 1983. It seems to have been largely forgotten: Quote:
The Pulsar EXA was known in North America as the Pulsar NX and shared many of its parts with the Nissan Sentra. This version of the Pulsar NX was available from 1983 to 1986 and came with either the fuel injected turbocharged E15et engine or the carbureted non-turbo E16s engine.


EXA -- being an N12 -- is a Pulsar in the generic sense (N-series chassis) regardless of the branding applied to the sheet metal. Sounds like shrewd marketing on the part of Nissan: remove the Pulsar badges to distinguish it from the more lowly versions.

I have had many of the north american pulsars . I raced them fora long time here in the southern U.S. The only diff. between the EXA & the pulsar is the badges . I still own one 84 model ( non turbo) E-16. The pulsar over in OZ looks totally different.

[edit] I still have my doubts, but here's a brochure on eBay that looks like it's for the U.S. market:

 Re: My exa
I hate to tell you this matbighat, buuuuuut they did sell the pulsar NX with the E15T here in the U.S. I had one . they are slim pickins here in the southern part of the U.S. iI don't know how many in other parts of the U.S. though. They started selling in the later part of 83 & continued in 84 . I don't think there was anymore after that. but they did sell here.

Not sure that the car resides at the Bathurst museum anymore as the current owner is a victorian and uses the car as much as possible...
