ok here ya go boys this was my nissan exa i brought from melbourne and drove it back to tasmania. took me 2 months to get it back on the road as the previous owner didnt know how to look after the engine and in the first day of driving it the engine blew. BUT i tell ya that think had soo much power i could sit at the lights (and i did it) and i would get all these stock holdens come up beside me with there v6's and try and drag me i would be thru to the next set of lights before they would even have a chance to pick up there jaw. only thing it had that wasnt stock was a thumping exaust. i love my holdens but i think that if you look after a car and treat it right any car can look good and go like a shower of ****. i agree that nothing is better than having the feeling of power under the bonnet i drive a toyota lexcen myself.
Im told the turbo's have twice the go in the nissan exa's so maybe some of you BIG holden fans need to go and take a ride in some of these JAP ricers might surprise you.
Shame the car is in the wreckers now (sold it to a car yard and they sold it to a P plater he couldnt handle it on the road) :rip: Lil Car
Nissan Exas (engine) are nothing but an overglorified nissan pulsar (engine). all the engine components, driveline and running gear are pretty much the same az well juss a modified chasis. they are light but are prone to engine probs (my wifes pulsar went thru 3 engines 2 pulsar and one "exa" turbo engine). I found the exa was quick off the line but lacked top end and once hitting any speeds over 80km/h started getting death wobbles. Im not dissing all jap imports, juss hate the exa (no offence juss my opinion) and ive outrun a few off the lights in my gas (lpg) v6 NO MODS AT THE TIME. My personal favorite Jap import is the 200sx. I was born n bred on HP Imports (my father drives a turbo subaru liberty and my mom drives a Toyota switchable 4WD FWD wagon) but I converted to holdens for a few simple reasons: More factory power for a cheaper price, cheaper to get parts aftermarket (such as powersteering pumps, body parts, lights and n e thing else that may get damaged). This thread is dissing OVERBAKED OVER THE TOP cars not japanese, there is actually more overdone holdens here than jap imports! have a look n u will see alot of the forum members own/have owned jap imports n the like. Sory bout my rant and I dont mean u any offence, and your exa was nicely styled and definately not "Rice" :thumbsup:
