Nissan Pulsar (N13). 1986–90 (prod. n/a). 3-, 4- and 5-door sedan. F/F, F/A, 988, 1270, 1392, 1488, 1497, 1597 cm³ petrol, 1681 cm³ diesel (I4 OHC), 1597, 1809 cm³ (I4 DOHC). Despite a healthy run with the N12, Nissan’s design chief took the Pulsar totally out of step with mid-1980s trends, creating a boxy, voluminous successor. Mid-term changes 1988. Four-wheel-drive models had viscous coupling; two DOHC engines for sporting Pulsars. Dull and dependable, with the exception of the cooking Pulsars, but the upright looks turned many buyers off.
