THE OG HYPER HATCH FROM HELL.. *BRUTAL STREET MONSTER*

[@ashleyhopkins9395]

I’d watch these over 1000hp R8’s all day

[@jamespelling2951]

I would much rather watch a 400bhp 90's car than some modern supercar! You have to concentrate to keep these on rhe road and the rawness of the experience just cant be matched !!

[@JackV-tw8bw]

90s jdm hot hatches like this and the Toyota glanza are so much more fun to drive than modem cars, they obviously aren't as fast but who cares when even driving on normal roads is fun

[@Swwa89]

Proper drivers car!!! Just huge fun factor and the noises etc much more fun than a modern car with much more power

[@SimpleBasicStuff]

@@jamespelling2951 hand on heart best car I’ve ever owned for that “connected experience” was a civic ek9 when I chat with people now who have M4’s and the like they just don’t get it.. always the “a little 1.6 with under 200bhp can’t be fun” Yet none of them have driven one..

[@clayp.e30_v86]

Agreed.! Pure raw and analogue driving experience. Nothing to help you out of the shit. My v8 swapped e30 would happily kill me if I didn't treat it with the respect I believe it deserves 🙈

[@jamespelling2951]

I had and still regret selling to this day a 1991 Toyota MR2 turbo! Not silly power but enough to make it dangerous if you didn't drive it with respect ! Plus you did really have to drive it none of this mashing the throttle and holding on!😁 It was an absolute riot to drive!

[@FafCarsjake]

Hi Jamie, I’ve just finished the build on my Toyota Starlet GT Turbo. Currently making 367bhp and 306 lbft of torque. I’d love for it to be on the channel. Hit me up.

Breath of fresh air to see this bit of variety instead of the usual golf r or stage x m140i or 1000 bhp m3 another OG in this feild would he the original s3 1.8t would love to see some more diesel on the channel and more rwd 6 cylinder manual cars of any variety been following this channel for a while always a pleasure to watch thanks Jamie

S3 1.8T are complete gash. Sorry to hurt anyone's feelings but just a fact.

[@madrbl4301]

Petes GTiR is savage but what made this video more enjoyable is the fact is it an old school legend but to top it off Pete’s face was smiling the whole time he truly enjoys his car and loves it and credit to him for all the work he done himself! Jamie sick vid as always brother

[@manlikemike8206]

Back in sometime around 1999 I would of been 12. Me and 3 pals just chilling on our bikes and there was one of these a young lad had on our road. Claimed to be 500hp back them that was impressive. But one summers morning he needed a bump start so us boys got it going. In return he said he would take us around the block in it. I can still remember how excited I was sat in the back. And the speed of the thing was unreal. I think even now iv never been in anything as quick. Good times

[@martiangod]

My mate still swears the fastest car hes been in was a reno 5 gt turbo in the late 80s with 120bhp. Hes been in cars with over 600bhp so its obviously no where near the fastest hes been in, its just the way you remember it years later compared to other cars at the time.

[@APO65687]

Certain people will recognise the infamous and period-correct Laguna splitter!

[@richardlahiff1529]

As a VW only guy and a fan of vw oem+ mods. I watched this with interest as years ago I used to hear about these little Nissans. I’m really impressed. Fantastic build. Kudos mate 👍

[@jamesford6578]

Oil cooler in a brave position

[@Inzy-k]

What a nostalgic feeling seeing this exquisite example of a pulsar for us 80-90s people, this was our equivalent to a Golf R back in them days

[@Sparky_D]

One of my friends had one for years. It was imported from Japan as an ex tarmac rally car. Full cage, massive turbo, diff lockers. It would shred all 4 tyres for about 100m on a launch. Crazy car.

[@harrymartin684]

There's something about these 80s and 90s Japanese cars that just does it for me. Love hearing that turbo hissing away 👌

[@tmoneyirl]

There's an Australian company who've made an adaptor plate to fit a lancer evolution gearbox to these to get rid of the gearbox issues 👌🏻

[@paultaylor1750]

I remember seeing one of the first uk cars when I was doing my work experience for school at a Nissan garage in Manchester. It was red, brand spanking new and awaiting its PDI. What a Top build man! ❤

Let’s gooo, can’t beat the old school! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jayschofield2472]

I could not agree more, those were definately the golden days, it was jdm cars in the 90's that sparked my love for speed and noise, i was lucky enough to see a pulsar every day for 4 years on my walk to and from school and there were some max power features local to me too, a skyline, a scooby and modified fto, the good old days.

[@ravensulaiman5322]

Full respect to Pete for building this weapon...I have a soft spot for the Nissan Sunny..Mum gave me her 1.4 5door hatch while at Uni..This cars are so robust and reliable testament to the old psyche of Nissan when they made truly haile free cars NOTHING on the level of a AsboPulsar 👍🤜🏽

Can't beat 80's an 90's import scene , more pls.

[@willfal6527]

J623 BSS was my one back in 2001, I live in the Scottish highlands, used to try and get stuck in the snow on purpose, never happened haha. I recall the most expensive mod was that steel sump guard that curled around the front bumper, very rare to get a genuine one. Turbo oil return was always an issue, clutch peddle bracket snapping was the biggest headache ever, that was the only time it left me stranded.

[@JeffWood-e1q]

I bought that exact car in around 2003 from a garage near Harrogate for £2,000 with a smokey turbo and slipping clutch/rattley gearbox. Had the sump guard on it and Corbeau reclining bucket seats. Spent an absolute fortune on it, ended up with lots of Norris designs bits on, HKS cams and the disco potato turbo mod, Apexi ECU Ohlins suspension and Wilwood brakes, was around 380bhp if I recall. Went through 5 different upgraded clutches in a year through launching it too often, broke it and scrapped the shell and bought a Black Evo 5 as was sick of dropping the beast of a gearbox and transfer box out on my back every couple of months 🙈 Seeing the reg in your comment brings back so many memories of sliding down the road sideways and nearly filling my pants in the process 😂

[@willfal6527]

@@JeffWood-e1q No Way!!! haha what are the chances. I fitted those seats, they suited the car well I thought, come to think of it, no idea what I did with the original ones, hmmm, are they still in my dads garage, i must look. I think you must have bought it late 2004, simply because my son was born in Jan of that year and I needed something bigger and less money consuming (clutch was just staring to slip then), sounds like it treated your bank account the same way as mine lol. I sold the car to someone local but they didn't have it long and I recall seeing it in town smoking, figured the dreaded oil return reared its head again, I didn't really know the guy so never had any dealings with him after it changed hands from me, I guess he traded it in and somehow it ended up the other side of the country. I fitted an apexi Avcr on it, HKS mushroom filter, exhaust of some description, cant remember but it was a dam quick car back in the day. Least I know now I'll never see it on the road again. Turned so many heads, always got Q's on what it was everywhere I went.

[@JeffWood-e1q]

@@willfal6527Your right, we moved into a new house when I had it and that was Nov 2004. The oil feed pipe was braided when I removed the turbo so knew someone had been at it! I remember also replacing the oil pump assembly as I had issues with the pressure regulator, about £280 and then the knock sensor was intermittently shutting stuff down so had to replace that, cost a ton of money! The cam cover was also painted Metallic Blue which had me suspicious at the time as the Norris Designs forged engines came with a cam cover in that exact colour. Such a small world to see the registration pop up in here. I have quite a few photos of the car in its final spec if theres any way of getting them to you 👍

Small heath, these used to do laps after laps 😂

[@Dynamic3DLtd]

Had a black one in the early 2000's at 350hp, never lost a race from 0-80, your could rev it at 7000 rpm, drop the clutch and it just went :) Even by todays standards, it would give a LOT of cars a tough time off the lights. I don't know why this car needed 3 gears to get to 60, mine did it in second, but you can see even with 3 changes it was 4.3, im telling you with a proper launch in dry and hitting 60 in second, its doing low 3's.

You can buy a Ferrari or whatever all day long, but you simply cannot purchase 'cool', you have to build it, own it, drive it, be proud of it and love it. The car here is cool no doubt, but what this car and owner represent here is what's really cool. I hope I'm making sense.

Used to have one in the same colour running the same power back in the early 2000s. Really great little car and it ran 11s which was really fricking quick for back then! The 10s was almost unheard of and 1000bhp was almost mythical. Mad how times change

Light, no driver aids, pure raw and analogue driving pleasure 👌 and no its not your average e30 🙈😆 so it knows how to get down 👏🏻 But the thing is anyway, with the old skool stuff like this, they don't need massive pub willy waving numbers to be fast or fun. But i think it's the nostalgia factor that you just cant replicate more than anything 😍 The feeling of the old times every time you go for a drive 😊 We want more of this please Jamie and less of the 1000bhp this and 900 bhp that 👍

[@MrMikkiFunk]

Echoing other comments - would rather watch one of these than any new point and shoot auto hot hatch, or even most supercars all day. Love the garage-built DIY, raw JDM look of it. And that sound... What a beast.

[@zazzn]

My buddy has a GTI-R and i've been lucky enough to drive it around a track and it's an absolute beast. I had a guy in a brand-new carmero SS trying to chase me and he made a point to come shake my hand as he couldn't keep up, and was down right shocked. He ended up blowing up the engine on his SS trying so hard to get me that day lol. The Pulsar was just with more boost, exhaust , and coilovers and junk khumo tires. lol. Such a fun car.

Love these. I make it a point to mention every time I see one on a standard gearbox for the owners to look into the gearbox swaps they're doing in New Zealand and Down-Under. Can't remember what box(es) they've been using but they've found stronger options. Can't be easy finding an OEM gti-r box these days

I believe it's a gearbox from an Evo will fit with a custom bell housing, clutch, prop, driveshafts and Evo RS diff. A gearbox and adapter plate might just work to be fair as well.
