I found this and a good friend that lived close went and checked it out for me. The main body was rust free but some on the panels which i wasn&#8217;t worried about. The interior was not in the best condition and mechanicals needed a look at both I wasn\u2019t concerned about.<br \/>I closed the deal with the owner, got on the train and collected it. The GT drove home fault less but didn\u2019t feel as good as the silver GT and certainly wasn&#8217;t as quick.<br \/>Well that I can fix.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.datsuns.co.uk\/Images\/MYDatsuns\/GT2\/images\/GT200002.JPG\" rel=\"lightbox[651]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none\" src=\"http:\/\/www.datsuns.co.uk\/Images\/MYDatsuns\/GT2\/images\/GT200002.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"140\" height=\"180\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.datsuns.co.uk\/Images\/MYDatsuns\/GT2\/images\/GT200003.JPG\" rel=\"lightbox[651]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none\" src=\"http:\/\/www.datsuns.co.uk\/Images\/MYDatsuns\/GT2\/images\/GT200003.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"140\" height=\"180\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.datsuns.co.uk\/Images\/MYDatsuns\/GT2\/images\/GT200004.JPG\" rel=\"lightbox[651]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none\" src=\"http:\/\/www.datsuns.co.uk\/Images\/MYDatsuns\/GT2\/images\/GT200004.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"140\" height=\"180\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.datsuns.co.uk\/Images\/MYDatsuns\/GT2\/images\/GT200005.JPG\" rel=\"lightbox[651]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none\" src=\"http:\/\/www.datsuns.co.uk\/Images\/MYDatsuns\/GT2\/images\/GT200005.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"140\" height=\"180\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.datsuns.co.uk\/Images\/MYDatsuns\/GT2\/images\/GT200007.JPG\" rel=\"lightbox[651]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none\" src=\"http:\/\/www.datsuns.co.uk\/Images\/MYDatsuns\/GT2\/images\/GT200007.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"140\" height=\"180\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.datsuns.co.uk\/Images\/MYDatsuns\/GT2\/images\/GT200009.JPG\" rel=\"lightbox[651]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none\" src=\"http:\/\/www.datsuns.co.uk\/Images\/MYDatsuns\/GT2\/images\/GT200009.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"140\" height=\"180\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.datsuns.co.uk\/Images\/MYDatsuns\/GT2\/images\/GT200010.JPG\" rel=\"lightbox[651]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none\" src=\"http:\/\/www.datsuns.co.uk\/Images\/MYDatsuns\/GT2\/images\/GT200010.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"140\" height=\"180\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.datsuns.co.uk\/Images\/MYDatsuns\/GT2\/images\/GT200011.JPG\" rel=\"lightbox[651]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none\" src=\"http:\/\/www.datsuns.co.uk\/Images\/MYDatsuns\/GT2\/images\/GT200011.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"140\" height=\"180\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.datsuns.co.uk\/Images\/MYDatsuns\/GT2\/images\/GT200012.JPG\" rel=\"lightbox[651]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none\" src=\"http:\/\/www.datsuns.co.uk\/Images\/MYDatsuns\/GT2\/images\/GT200012.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"140\" height=\"180\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.datsuns.co.uk\/Images\/MYDatsuns\/GT2\/images\/GT200001.JPG\" rel=\"lightbox[651]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none\" src=\"http:\/\/www.datsuns.co.uk\/Images\/MYDatsuns\/GT2\/images\/GT200001.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"140\" height=\"180\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.datsuns.co.uk\/Images\/MYDatsuns\/GT2\/images\/GT200013.JPG\" rel=\"lightbox[651]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none\" src=\"http:\/\/www.datsuns.co.uk\/Images\/MYDatsuns\/GT2\/images\/GT200013.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"140\" height=\"180\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I used the GT for a few days then one day i got home from work stopped across the road to reverse into the driveway but i could select any gear and the clutch pedal went spongy. The car had a new clutch fitted not long before i collected it. But the pedal feels like the release bearing housing has rotated so the fork was no longer engaging. The car was pushed onto driveway not as easy as it sounds but i had some help thankfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So this is where all the fun begins and the silver GT donor job begins earlier than planned.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/datsuns.co.uk\/?p=744\">1998 Nissan Primera GT Pt2<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:post-content --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p><div class=\"pvc_clear\">\n<\/div><p id=\"pvc_stats_737\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \" data-element-id=\"737\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/datsuns.co.uk\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p><div class=\"pvc_clear\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This work was carried out a number of years ago (2013) but car still lives on with me.\u00a0 Let me take you on a little journey into the story of my 1998 Primera GT&#8217;s<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_737\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \" data-element-id=\"737\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/datsuns.co.uk\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,16,18,15],"tags":[54,52,26],"class_list":["post-737","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nissan","category-our-cars","category-primera","category-workshop","tag-gt","tag-p11","tag-primera"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/datsuns.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/737","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/datsuns.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/datsuns.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/datsuns.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/datsuns.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=737"}],"version-history":[{"count":17,"href":"https:\/\/datsuns.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/737\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":862,"href":"https:\/\/datsuns.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/737\/revisions\/862"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/datsuns.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=737"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/datsuns.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=737"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/datsuns.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=737"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
