My 99 Mystic GT

Hey guys its about time I should show you our new car!

After me and my father had come to an agreement that a 2.0 Primera GT can be used as a family car etc we spent over a month looking for the right one.

The criteria was simple decent mileage, must be a saloon and no modifications!

The car is extremely smooth to drive and has a very comfortable interior, damn shame though as its my dads car and I am only allowed to drive the car with his full permission and only occasionally :(
 
awsome looking car, thats just what im after ;),just need to sell my car as found a nice one with lpg conversion , just dont scratch it as the paint is like rocking horse shit !!
 
nice car!
the wife has the micra with the chromflair flip paint, it goes red / orange.

by the way the paint is £450 a litre!!!!
 
Thank you guys, just a quick question what wax would you guys recommend? With all previous cars I have just simply used turtle wax colour magic plus but that is specific to a colour and this car has too many :lol:

get some collinite off ebay/detailing site, pretty cheap and lasts well, plus it gives a good shine, you can spend more and get a slightly better shine but its really good long lasting stuff for not a lot of money, cant go wrong tbh.

looks nice and tidy, get a set of clear rear lights of an earlier p11, up to 98ish iirc they had clear, after that they went orange, will look 10 times nicer and its not really a modification, just putting right nissans mistake of using orange.

Funnily enough that is the exact same thing 1 of the guys who came with us to buy the car suggested. I shall have a look around NPOC!

Thanks for that Chris, I cant wait to get some decent polish/wax on the car as it luckily has a nice and clean rust free body.

Underseal is also on the list soon!

I don't see what your problem is with Turtle Wax Chris, I've been using it for years & it works just fine. They also have universal polish for cars with any colour, so you can't go wrong with that. :)
 
its not what you use its how you use it. you could use the best shampoo/polish/wax etc and used with a cheap micro fibre still have a so so finish.
 
Just saw this thread, the car looks suspiciously like the one I was about to buy last year, just lovely. Yay, on the rear clusters ;) ive used a few turtle wax products myself and think they're fine, like Dave said ^ its what you do with it that counts. Time and sweat = show and shine.
 
Update time, car was taken for a good run today after over a week as the dead original Nissan battery was finally replaced and the road conditions were also much better!

I also decided to get the car washed as it was left quite mucky from grit/sleet from the past few days.

Hopefully the next set of pictures will be taken once the car has had a layer or 2 of wax applied. Thanks for looking.
