This was my first, about 6 years ago, a black Mk1 auto with orange interior, totally std (apart from fairly pointless dump valve), 70k on the clock, mint condition. Got her for a mere £100 as she had a blow exhaust manifold gasket and the studs had threaded the head. Unfortunately she had to go when the turbo went (I was in uni, couldn't afford to fix)



This was my second, a red Mk2 auto, got her for free when I was on placement at a Nissan specialist. She had a blown front crank oil seal, engine bay was black with oil but she was a good runner. Had to sell her when I got skint (was still in uni).



Now, after a five-ish year break, I've finally got my third and she's a manual (some of you may recognize from ebay) Got her last week for £500. She's an originally white Mk2 but now she's a metallic blue (which I don't look forward to trying to match), running 18psi of boost from an S13 turbo (I plan to turn it down - but apparently been running like that for 10 years!), has a front mount S13 intercooler (i think), straight-through exhaust, 17's and apart from some rot on the arches, is in pretty good nick for a 140k motor. I think I'm right in saying the side mouldings are the product of Silviagod (is he still around? he helped me out a few times with my Mk2) and, front/rear bumpers and lights are Mk1.
