The present coupe Nissan (in America this carhas the index 240SX, and in Japan is famous as Nissan Silvia) is the predecessor of Datsun from the sixth generation. In general, this car almost did not change. Bright appearance, drive on the rear wheels.
In Europe, only Nissan 200SX withturbine engine in two hundred forces, designed for a capacity of two liters. Rear differential - with partial automatic locking. It looks Nissan 240SX s13 perfectly. Narrowed, barely slanting headlights, an elongated hood, a large overhang from the rear - a car striding forward.
The spirit of the sporty style Nissan 240SX is felt andinside the cabin, in which the seats are made of leather with moderate stiffness. The speedometer is a large size and a tachometer, and the driver is turned through the steering wheel. Elevated at the level of the shoulders bar, which is under the window, forming some kind of power frame around the driver and passenger, smoothly passes into the panel in the foreground. The lever of the manual gearbox Nissan 240SX in five steps, as if the joystick of the game on the computer, stands out in the center.
And still, the first inspection leads to the leaders of the Nissan 240SX. Probably, for a reason it is ten thousand dollars more expensive than Honda. But it's too early to draw conclusions about the car.
To test the car Nissan 240SX, you do not have tojust ride, and really ride, including, including the track for racing. Nissan's engine is basically a two-liter engine, which, for example, is installed on the Primera model. But now it is difficult to know: variable phases of gas distribution, turbine boost, intercooler. And in the end - in exchange for the former hundred and thirty forces - two hundred and twenty. And it is not in the transverse plane, but in the longitudinal plane. Nissan easily starts from the spot and unquestioningly follows the accelerator pedal.
Up to three thousand revolutions per minute the motor operatesordinarily. But after three thousand five hundred revolutions per minute - with the acceleration of the core, emanating from the gun. And after five thousand five hundred revolutions per minute - again a decrease in temperament. The engine tears, but there's little use. If in the conditions of the standard mode there are no claims to the controllability of the car (clarity in the reactions, the presence of feedback), the sport route makes one look at the Nissan 200 SX differently. The car is difficult to control as soon as one of the axles goes into slip mode.
Do not foreshadow the danger of the first moments.If traction is present, the vehicle is gradually shifted to the outside of the turn. First, the car drives the front wheels outward turning. To keep him on the road, the driver tries to cause a misalignment of the rear axle, it's good to do this with such an engine, without special efforts.
But the Nissan 240 SX is in the zone enoughsharp. An even more unexpected response can be obtained for corrective actions. It is quite difficult, almost impossible, without causing a second fluctuation of the machine, to correct the skid. The pace of the maneuvers of Nissan is such that it is difficult to catch the old trajectory: you have to move a few meters away from the original trajectory, restoring stability. In these modes, the Nissan 240SX needs a filigree and quick quick-wittedness while driving.
