[@dazzlingd]

Came to the comments for a taxi comment. Was not disappointed!

[@JVerschueren]

WIth regard to handling, I'm in two minds about Nissans of the era... If you trust them, they turn in well and stick to the road quite well compared to contemporary cars. However there's a fair amount of vagueness and body roll going on in the feedback department when you're, initially, not hustliing them, which is not exactly confidence inspiring, Also, the gearchanges can not be rushed, at all, which feels ad odds with the hight revving engine. Maybe I just don't "get them", compared to German cars.

[@TheRealD4]

So how come this 97 SLX has manual rear windows? Was the SLX spec a lower variant in mk2 shape?

Good purchase, the fan resistor is a simple repair, it's behind the glovebox next to the fan motor. It has two solder bridges that act as fuseable links but they do get corrosion on the joint so a few minutes with a soldering iron and job done. I've had a P10 and a P11-144 estate and done that repair on both.

[@MartinIbert]

This is one great car. Yours has the aerial way back which means it was made before Renault started to cut costs. (The aerial was way out front on later models to save some coins on the coax wire.) We had an estate version of that with the 1.8 QG18DE engine, and we loved it all the time we had it. It went to Belgium and Lithuania (not on the same trip, obv) and never as much as missed a beat -- save for a used-car warranty repeair on the sync rings.

[@Endfloat]

You landed on your feet with that one, Ian! What a great car! I know some people say they're dull but I really like it. It'll be a good reliable car too. I have a lot of memories of those cars having worked in a Nissan dealership many years ago. I always liked driving them. It'll be heavy enough on fuel with that 2 litre engine though!

Have fun with it, for however many minutes before you get bored with it :)

[@neilcussons4744]

We had a Primera R reg 1.6gx, was a great car so reliable, nice to drive. I do remember though it was vastly underpowered, you could plant the throttle and there was no power left in 1.6 form. Gearboxes not that strong from memory, had to have a part (forgotten which one) at v low miles.

[@graemew7001]

My dad had the 1.6Si of the same year and I agree, it was great but seriously gutless and I found the steering too light, went to 160k before the scrap man got it, needed suspenion and welding done.

[@JohnDoe-ox5ni]

Totally agree 1.6 were disapointing on performance and mpg was not great .but oh so cheap people couldn't give them away at one time all the while being totally reliable bangers you could anywhere without having to worry it was going to break down and with seats folded the rear space is very impressive .

The SR20DE is a great engine, although I note it's slightly detuned here, the ones we had in the Australian Pulsars had 140bhp with a 7500rpm redline.

[@timfagan816]

They seem to be different all over the world. Here I'm new Zealand, THE SR20DE, was rated at 170bhp with a 7900rpm redline, the one I had in my p11 primera red top was a pretty decent engine. Was torquey down low and powerful at the top end. With a long ratio 5 speed box, it was good for 260kph.

I always remember the advert for these with Angus Deighton narrating. "The car THEY don't want you to have" My uncle was a big fan of the Primera and had several.

Can't remember the last time I saw one of these Primeras on the road. Looks like a very clean example for the mileage.

Ooo, nice choice sir. I absolutely adore these, they are glorious to drive. Just glorious.
