    Default my turbo exa

    well this is my 85 nissan exa turbo, i used to own a vn commy in gr8 condition but it got sold sadly, the front of the exa has been converted to the ET pulsar front, its been lowerd all round with super low king springs,has 17" chrome mags, the turbo is off a nissan 180sx and has 3" exhaust from the turbo back to a 3.5" dump pipe and the front mount intercooler is off a 180sx aswell, the engine only has 3000 kays on it and was rebuilt by the previous owner being a mechanic by trade he worked the engine and apparently it runs high 12s on 17 PSI, its seriously quick, my m8 drove it back from QLD for me and on the way home 2 guys in a holden vl calais turbo and ford falcon gli tried to out run us after bein ********s at maccas lol no disrespect intended for the commy coz i personly love the vl calais but neither car stood a chance. tell us wat ya think of it, i know it aint no commodore but still.

    apparently it does a 12 sec pass down the quarter on 17psi . . . . never tested it myself but im confident that it would be close to that number

    Like the later ones better - post 1990 model.

    Actually thought about getting one and was checking a few out until I ended up seeing my commy all those years ago...

    Love the lights on the back of the newer ones.
