Nissan Prairie, what u rekon?
« on: Oct 10, 2003, 08:49PM »
Hey guys,
                   As every ones knows im lookin 4 a car.

I was thinking bout the CRAP PRAIRIE!
Yes... laugh it guys! lol ;D :D

But, dumped on its guts, with a nice cannon coming from the back and a nice set of 16", or 17" (cant go any bigger legally!)
It would look pretty killa! (and dont forget the black tinted windows!!!)

Only thing is they have 1.6lt's and 1.8lt's dont they???????
What year's do u get?? I know u get Carby 1983's, but they r too Crappy!

Any EFI models availible???

One thing though is spending all this money to do up a people mover!, :P :-[ :-[ :-[ :
It will for sure not have a good resale value!!!!!!! :'( :'( :'(

Any help would be coolies!? ;)

i thought they had a ca20e? nissman would know he used to own one. would look good though. good idea i reckon, doing something different.. i woulnt worry about speed though... it would be good enough to just have a modded one woud be cool enough. ca20e goes pretty hard.

Well it's possible to get the ca20e to the 100kw mark witch is a very decent figure for a 4 cyl car, they also have a lot of power down low so there not "crap" but not exactly great either. The bigest pro of the engine is the fact that it's so light so your power counts for more.

i think, but i'm not entirely sure, that the prarie in the usa was the u11 or t12 stanza wagon.. awd ca20e

hrmm.. you mean this model dont you?



looks a bit poo there.. but i reckon with a body kit it would kick arse.

nah, i didn't have one of those, had a mitsubishi nimbus. those prairies run the e15 pulsar mtr. so you could put in an e15 ET or exa mtr. come to think of it i think they have the same running gear as the pulsar....by the way the nimbus is still for sale($1200ono) & looks better than the prairie :)

good luck trying to get any sort of engine into the prarie OR the nimbatron... a friend of mine used to have a nimbatron, and far out the engine bay way so small it was a miracle everything fit! lol

For the sydney-metro area guys go for a drive through the gaza strip... U know what im talking about... Punchbowl, Bankstown, Lakemba, Greenacre.. just be sure u have the bullet proof glass installed cos it gets a bit hairy( no pun intended) in those areas.

U'll see a modded praire, nimbus, sigma, anything less than 2k under the sun is modded in those areas.. from milo can tips to big 19" chrome rims...
traction kicked in yo!

Saw a white Hiace van tonight, dumped on some big wheels, loud exhaust, etc.  Plates were LOACE.  Nice.

Homer!  What have you done to the car?  I don't think it had broken axles before.

Before!  Before!  You're living in the past, Marge.  Quit living in the past.

What, I never said I didn't like it asshat! :P

At least I don't think I did... but if I did, then I'm the asshat.

Rarie and Et share running gear but the prarie run 50% larger brakes. Top points for originality  but that will only go so far. Do the e-15t conversion, paint it a cool colour and stuff the biggeest rims you possibly can under the guards and then we will see how good this idea will be.
