Hi guys, my names Matt (obviously) and I dont actually own a Pintara, currently an ae92 corolla seca. Am interested in moving on to a U12 TRX though.

Just had a few questions basically. How does the Pintara vary to the JDM Bluebird SSS? (suspension and brake components? I assume the SSS had an SR20DET? Bumpers n stuff?)

I'm into the 'jdm' scene (for lack of a better term, jdm doesnt mean a damn thing anymore...) here in Sydney, active on twincam.org.au and jdmst, and I like tastefully modded cars, and thats the sort of approach i'd take to a TRX, just as I have with my seca- its not even an SX lol. But yeah, nice to find that theres actually a forum for these cars, they seem to have a lot of potential, especially as sleepers ahah.

Hi peoples just registered and thought I will hi, currently just started a new job and am starting to look for a second work car and I've came across the Nissan pintara which looks like a good car, looking at one for $600ono with just the gauges not working on it etc and manual etc,

Currently have a ford ef Fairmont which needs to go in the carport (all I got for a garage atm) to get things done on it, hence also the second car.

Anyways just wanted to say hi and will defiantly post pics when if I get the one I'm looking at.

Hope this is the right place to put this.

Hi names Pat (Obviously), I'm situated around the northern suburbs of Melbourne
I recently Bought a '89 Pintara T manual with a Ka24e with 133,000km's on it.

The car is stock as could be but came with a Clarion head unit and kenwood tweeters and 6x9's on the parcel shelf installed by the previous owner.
Major issues recently was the starter motor decided to blow up, the radiator/ engine seems to either like its coolant or has a slow leak and Car is missing the odd bits and pieces (as most cars do).
Only thing I've added so far is my old pioneer amp and 1200w Sub.

Future plans for the car include in particular order (money and time dependant); exhaust + Extractors, air filter (Pod), lowered, wheels, TRX body kit, upgraded cam and ecu chip.
If by anyone happens to be selling any of the main parts please let me know.

Cheers guys see you around.

Grant from the Goldy here. Picked up a U12 TRX for $500 three days ago. Engine is buttery, especially for a car with 250k on the clock and a scoop bolted to the bonnet that leads nowhere, so I was pleasantly surprised. It has been lowered, and I stuck the Alpine headdy out of the old Forrester today, otherwise it is waiting for FR wheel bearing, some engine mounts, a bit of body and dash work. Mod wise, I figure i might as well start with a bit of CAI considering I already have a hole in the bonnet... After that, who knows? Hesitant to do the exhaust cos I love the note coming from the stocker. All I know is I'm keen to get her back to better than her former glory.

Hi my names David and i own a Pintara  :) this place is like pintaras anonymous.

So i got a 1992 super-hatch T auto with less than 70K on the clock. just a rough guess as the clock has stopped at 56K but being my grandmas car i know it hasn't done more than that. Not much wrong with it, driver side back door central locking doesn't work and miner body damage, mostly car park crap. Nothing serious right  ;D

I've had my fair share of modified cars but this is my first pintara and first on a tight budget. See a few years back i crashed my ute and was badly injured leaving me a paraplegic. I got my license back and bought this little granny car and had it modified for hand operated brake/acceleration.

Ever since i got the car i have been stalking this website so i figure it was about time to join and see what the community is like from inside the circle. I'm not sure which way to go with this car its a strange shape, not a wagon not a hatch. i figure i will slowly add little pieces to it until it becomes something or anything haha we will see.

Howdy all, new member here.

I've just bought a '91 Pintara Executive hatch. This will be a second car to be used as a runabout and eventually will be given to my daughter when she gets her licence. My main car, an MB 1992 W140 600SEL, is a bit much just to do the shopping and is currently off the road to do some engine work. I use it mainly as a land yacht for interstate trips at which it excels, but a 6 litre V12 lugging around 2200 kg is a bit pricey on fuel for city use.

The Pintara is quite low mileage, about 107K km and exceptionally clean. But the CA20E in it has a lot of blow by and I reckon the rings are worn out. I know this to be a common fault from owning an S12 Gazelle many years ago. I can fix that cheaply myself next year once my Benz is back on the road.

I would have rather had a KA24 based car; I almost bought a TRX years ago and liked it a lot. I've checked the forum for engine swap info but they are all quite old. What is the state of play regarding engines now? Are they still easy and/or cheap to come by? I'm not interested in a hi-po car, just a good reliable one for a first time driver. Probably just doing the rings on the current engine will be enough but I'd like to know my options.

In Queensland you can pick up a ka24 in decent condition for around 300, though it would probably be easier to pick up a cheap car with the ka and do it that way

Thanks noss. Yes it all started with a u12 executive I brought. Within 1000kms I had a cracked radiator. Which then lead to overheat , blown head gasket and losing the drive in my auto. it was an expensive excersise that lead to me fixing it up and driving it for another 4 - 5 years no major dramas since. I just recently found a clean low Km TRX planning to sell it. But after making a few repairs and a good service I refuse to let this thing go haha. I'm stuck and I don't give an asshat. :P good to meet you all I'm sure im in the right place here :D
