Thread: NX 2000 likes and dislikes

I had an Eblue NX2000 8yrs ago, I loved the car wich is why i just started looking to replace it. I want to know from those who know about or own these cars thier likes and dislikes.

I am looking to get a car that is almost complete as in some one else project car. I need a daily driver but now these car are 19+ yrs old what are some of the ware and tears normal cars should have. what are some of the common things to look for in bad or good cars?

thoughts and tips would be great.

I like my NX because its not a Honda and i like the fact these cars come with bigger brakes and a stock VLSD which is better then open diff's the only thing i dislike about my NX is the Dual oil pan setup always seems to leak and the T-Tops too white trash but other then those complaints it's all good....

I hate the rear nx2000 sticker, it's so early 90's -

Also I hate the shape, but at the same time it's the ugly child you love, so I love the shape too ha ha

I love the cornering in roundabouts going rediculous speeds.

I love that old men stare at it with confusion especially with the ttops off

I love that my wife comes home with stories of smoking teenagers in their rice rockets because she looks like she's 17 and they try to race her bwa ha ha

X2 on the sticker and they are a b*tch to get off

I honestly have no dislikes...nothing makes me smile more than seeing the "blue frog" chillin in the garage

I actually like the Sticker. LOL.

Likes: Hatchback design, Not many around. With the right mods it can be a very very serious car. Ad22's. Bigger Radiator. Power Windows. If you squint it looks like a fwd Z32. Nissans version of the Teg.

Dislikes: Mine smells like it was at the bottom of a swamp for a few years. Parts are harder to come buy than the classics. Rust problems they develop.

A stripped out Hardtop NX with a 200+Whp VE, light flywheel, Race rubber, race suspsension, upgraded LSD, a cage , and some Aero. Mmmmm mmmm

I am a fan of the egg shape, love the t-tops (white trash as it maybe) I live in TX and the heat is crazy down here. the hatch is ok makes for great space.

x3 on the sticker ( i will be dealing with that pain in the butt when time comes)

so far not all that many bad things about them have come up. which is great.

I have two complaints , super ****y head lights and if it wasnt for the rust problem I would have a nx with each option of motor in it (ve,de,det) <3

+1





i have a blue frog too....hehe





headlight are by far the worst,even with silverstar bulbs,they still blowww...88 carollas light the raod better imo....

super dislike-people mistake it for a honda.....

I like the Nx because it isn't as big as a Celica, but it seems to have the same room. (I don't care for the 2 seats in the back, not my problem)

I don't really like the design of the lights, I wish I could put covers on them that look good.

I like it's fat ass look, it's a serious mama.

I like targa, cabrio is for wimps.

I like targa instead of softtop, because softtop is for ppl that drive open all year.

I like the Nx because there is (hardly) needless crap you will find.

I like the plastic dashboard and keep my Nx standard bodywork. It's good.

I like it seems to have an engine that runs for ever.

I agree it can rust like h#ll, on the other hand, 1996 or earlier, whadda you expect.

I hate myself for the extra work compared to ''simple'' cars to get somewhere, like the fenders, plastic covered wheelwels, door hinges, trunkcover, some nasty low space cabling situations, the water it makes, the strength of the chassis still leaves something to wish for and the rattling windows. Not to forget the insanely ''mad'' bodykit that blocks the wheelwell covers and the silly fog light construction.

I must say, I do love sacrificing reachabillity for looks and regret that nowadays cars seem to be Lego like. I also can't afford the 350Z.

I hate the small diameter cabling, crap connectors for lighting and the way how rust prevention is taken care for JDM cars. I also hate to drill a broken bolt. I also don't like the original programming of the ECU.

I like to pet my car, I don't talk to it, I pet it.

I love Nissan over other brands bc it seems to me that is the proper way to show I'm different. I also regret the alternatives to the Nx are costly.

I love the tuning up the sensors and that the FSM is sort of open domain and if you really want to, you can do everything yourself.

I love how it shifts, I do hate the motor mounts.

I regret the chassis is ''point welded'' and left hollow on some places, against other makes. I also get stumped on how much dirt gets behind the wheelwell cover in no time.

I'm wondering why the vacuum is so enormous and the intake is so bogged, but it's a great tinker.

I realize I should have shut up about 500 words ago.

I love my Nx and if it dies/gets totaled, I'll be looking for the 4th

for those of you who dont like the headlights have you thought about this:
