Abandoned Nissan Pulsar GTI-R - Saving a JDM Legend

[@derekritch4360]

I can sleep better now knowing a JDM was saved today

[@georgetsichlis]

If you're going to paint it white, aspen white (s15 White) looks mint on gtir's!!!

[@robertchaffee7737]

Sweet car can't wait for all the vid's fixing it back up.

[@baitse7676]

They only salt the hills on the uphill lane in Japan. Downhill lane will be a sheet of ice, but uphill will be dry. I've had to swerve into oncoming traffic just to slow down.

[@cath2035]

Can you do a tour of every car you still own? Like an update on all of them?

[@Junkyard_Dave]

I want to do one but it would be best if I had them all in one spot

[@skykid4000]

GTIR owner here, nice job saving this. Not many on the road. Represent.

[@rustycowll5735]

I don't think I've ever seen a car like that, but then I don't follow Asian cars that much. I'm continually amazed at the breadth of your automotive knowledge. I've been a gearhead for 50yrs and you seem to know so much about so many different brands, & kinds of vehicles. I'm in awe!

[@danielwarner1736]

Couldnt be more excited !! I actually have a gti-r that I’m restoring / working on so excited for this one ! I have a black non sunroof umbrella RA model

[@willemkerzberg6068]

Your name Junkyard Dave sounds like a name given to driver in death race movie, cool af

[@deanh7190]

Nice aluminum trailer Chris 👍

[@Shiftheads]

Thanks. It's the real star of the show LOL

[@leokoutsoko1262]

Rebirth of a Legend.

[@mebnme5127]

When you opened the hood it brought so many b13/Sentra memories! Can’t wait to see you bring this back to life

[@aleksihaapasaari]

Sr20de You can get that engine in the N15 Nissan Almera GTI also (Pulsar SSS)

[@naimatzaman1887]

Rear arches and subframe r well known for rust. Good luck on new bumper either UK or Japan is ur best bet.

[@bgee461]

Love the new project, that's an epic and historically significant car. I've actually never seen one in person, and you OWN one 👍

[@gattsudon]

hell of a find dave, SUPER excited for this build!!

[@juscozcustoms]

I picked up a wrecked GTI-R about 12 years ago and transplanted the driveline into a 1962 morris mini. but it got put into storage before I finished it. I will have to get it out and start the build again soon. I think your mini would be awesome with a tesla swap... just saying

[@BEVO_vs_The_World]

Dave, that boost gauge can glued to the dash is a keeper..... C’mon man!

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Lol

[@arcadiagreen150]

Your a good man for saving this things life.

[@sessionroadstreetworx729]

Dave, Check for the OEM Umbrella in the driver side B pillar just above the door striker...there is a little square plastic flap. Pop the flap open and if the umbrella is there, push on the handle and it will pop out. They are super expensive as well, i've seen them go for over $300.00.

[@superman3486]

thats a beautiful car, build that motor my man.

[@MrJinga27]

Workout paused soon as this dropped..nice find....

[@MrBlazenBruce]

Love the Pulsar GTI-R Not a Bad price considering finding them is hard

[@alleybuilds5370]

dang now i want to see more of this one on the channel

[@Fierofreak01]

The flex fuel sensor is made by Contenintal which is an OEM supplier (especially for Chrysler). I wouldnt discount it as being a generic part.

[@goodtimevids6754]

Taylor Ray has the exact same car

[@tonyross7376]

Yes Dave. Can't wait to see this gtir in mint condition. Thanks Chris

[@awrgarage110]

Excited for more videos of this car.

[@simond7582]

about time you got your own junkyard! thank you for saving another classic.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Well this comment is a coincidence since Im looking at one tomorrow to buy lol

[@simond7582]

@@Junkyard_Dave you are basically living my dream if thats the case 😅 I hope it goes through, all the best.

[@craigbarth409]

Do a water pump Dave. They are always stuffed on gtir,s. They break the shaft

[@Sbrillo43]

Another interesting project from Dave. We wait for the charger/magnum painted!

[@gohardorgohome7687]

Awesome stuff man save another jdm legend I'm a big GTI-R fan Looking forward for this build series 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@ratspeedgarage]

Dave is back in the game!

[@aleksihaapasaari]

Same engine as in the N15 Almera GTi / N15 Pulsar SSS 👌👌👌

[@trevorockwell8764]

Starting fluid, fuel, and an add hoc unsecured ghetto ground strap... you’re more brave than I am!

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Whats the worst that can happen

[@teddiazjr.6223]

Great video Seen those in jersey back then and they were quick

[@billysantiesteban4199]

Looking forward to this one. Keep up the good work. 👍

[@OriginalMomo]

That’s a badass little nugget. Taylor Ray just got one in Florida recently.

[@andycap8469]

I'm pumped for this! Nice find!

[@shanesgarage1105]

These cars are sweet, nice find and at a good price. I'd be excited about the Tomei fpr also.

[@jameslindsey6904]

My first car was a gti-r! Also located in Colorado haha I saw this one on Facebook and kinda winched just cause of the condition of it! I remember seeing this one when it was driving! Blowing smoke like none other haha I’m excited to see you bring it back to life! If you need any part help I’ve got a few places also know a place where you can get a brand new, uncut front bumper!!

[@Paul29Esx]

450 will have gearbox parts spread all over the track but glad to see it being saved!

[@saulwerier2572]

thats a top intercooler bolted to the front...i also have a gtir. if you need a oem phase 2 steering wheel i have one.

[@Expatris]

Ahhhhh!!! Baby Godzilla!!!

[@802Garage]

Awesome find! Good price too. Love the wrench ground strap. One of my fav Nissans and JDM cars in general. Personally a big SR lover. :D

[@Markver1]

Could be a good car to experiment with the paint job. Color shifting paint would be fun to play with on this project. Ever try Plasti-dip?

[@northerner1374]

Had one of those. 227bhp stock but a mod on the turbo valve you can easily get 300. Unfortunately they rot. Is yours an early one that has the flare and umbrella in the drivers door b pillar? 👍🏻

[@justinhobart8747]

😉👍 Nice! My daily turd is a 97 Nissan 200SX SE R, 2.0 manual " it's American wanta B cousin " and I'm actually thinking about freshening mine up... am I crazy? I've always thought about finding me some Pulsar parts, and doing it just a little better! 😜👍

[@Gjbjdxvh]

pumped to see where this project goes. great find 🙌

[@bosmerfromcanada3878]

Japanese old-school reliability. Nothing like it. 5:40 Just looking at those wires made me want to rip my hair out, but fortunately I remember I already shaved it off.

[@Mr_jz_12]

They were designed to be rally cars but they didn't do well due to being front heavy under steering.

[@skipbreakfast]

When these were new, I got a dealer in Europe to send me a sales brochure. I'm not sure if I still have it, but if you want it I'll go look for it.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Hell yeah

[@daynerampersad8968]

get r34 GTR pedals you can probably talk to Sean Morris out in Cali From TopRank Vehicle Importers to get some genuine nismo and replacement parts for it,

[@Badaim7]

my mom had a 1988 Nissan Pulsar NX 4 speed manual in black

[@Danielism]

The definition of in over your head. Man what was that guy doing with that car..

[@NuhUhNotTrue]

I have always wanted one of them. Like really really really wanted one. Gunna start colleg soon and I hope there will be one still waiting for me when graduate.

[@supertedogpriken]

i just love these cars. It is a baby Skyline. Cant wait to see how nice it gets when you have done your magic to it.

[@puntomk1uk64]

These Pulsars were a popular used import here in the UK, back in the early 2000s. So it might be worth looking for some of the parts over here maybe? especially as the regular models were also sold as the Nissan Sunny here. Never thought I'd see one in the US! looking forward to seeing this little Nissan back on the open road :)

[@scootersfrog]

Taylor Ray has a really slick one def a nice unit

[@garrettpankey1005]

So how do you register the magnum charger what would it be titled under

[@Junkyard_Dave]

Charger or I can get a new vin if I want since I used so many different cars like a kit car

[@TeunS133N]

Stoked! Cool project

[@WaqasKhan8]

I am big fan of how you do stuff! but please complete the projects that you get

[@steviemix1706]

Sr20 power Dave love it

[@jacobphend6706]

As particular as you are Dave this is definitely A project....

[@marfrandema1884]

JDM LEGEND right there

[@4EverParkedLS]

Gran Turismo memories coming back to me.

[@princesssolace4337]

That Pulsar is a look into the future of over priced 90s JDM legend which 85% will end up abandoned, over modified, parts are getting too costly and the owners would try to sell and if they can't get the price that they wanted, it will end up abandoned, collecting dust and rust. Its the same story with 60s/ 70s American cars in my part of South East Asia.

[@FredsRandomFinds]

10:1 a little high for decent boost levels? Had one of these some years back, had just been imported from Japan and was like new underneath. It had Mines programable ECU Tien coilovers front & back front & rear strut braces & adjustable top mounts HKS intake kit & exhaust HKS boost controller & turbo timer Nakamichi audio set up. Was loads of fun as the suspension had been set up so you could pop the back and drift it on the throttle with little effort.. However the first thing I would plan on upgrading would be the front brakes, As the standard ones are monumentally shite. (Disks are too small....) even with upgraded pads they really don't like slowing the car down that well especially at speed..

[@oxcartracing]

Sounds like you bought somebody else's project way to go it's going to be nice to see it on the road again

[@Junkyard_Dave]

They are the best kind
