    North American PAO owners

    Hey Guys, (I see there are 2 Marks's) Sorry for the tardy response, have had issues with EVERY car/truck I own. Too numerous to list. So, looks like there's 4 of us in the US. I did see one for sale here in Houston but didn't find it or lot it was on. What's your top speed? What kind of mileage...

    North American PAO owners

    Seeing that there aren't many PAO's in North America, thought it may be worthwhile to find out who and where we are. You don't have to post your real name (your choice) but which mods you've done (if any) what you plan to do (if any) and what country/state/province/city you reside in would be...

    Hello from Wisconsin, USA

    Hey there Jmelly. Just saw there was a new post. Are you really bringing it in through Freeport? Galveston would have been a better location. Do you have a way to transport it from Freeport? I live about 70 miles from there. Anyway, did you get the paperwork filed for customs BEFORE you shipped...

    Nissan Pao meets Nissan Pulsar nx se A.K.A Paosar

    Geez, hadn't realized it's been so long since I looked at the PAO and my email (don't use my regular email address for this site). Well, got the Weber installed which wasn't just a simple bolt on but not too hard. Had to turn the carb around so the linkage now is against the cam cover. That...

    Nissan Pao meets Nissan Pulsar nx se A.K.A Paosar

    Well, my carb is kaput. That was part of the fuel leak as well as the tank where the lines go to and from. Been laid up for over a month now and I have really lost interest in it. Work has changed for me and right now I'm a bit underfunded for what I was going to do. Installed a Weber 32/36 DGEV...

    Nissan Pao meets Nissan Pulsar nx se A.K.A Paosar

    Hey Rick, I think short of changing the final drive there really isn't an alternative. I can get my car to 120 km easily but it's real buzzy as it's turning crazy rpms So, here's the formula (in case you don't have it for working rpm and gear ratios) RPM = mph X gear ratio X 336 divided by...

    Speedometer removal

    AHA! No, didn't know to do that. Can't find any manuals or info in the states for this little beasty. Perused Youtube but came up empty handed. Are you knowledgeable about the carb? Seem to have a rich running condition. Since I'm in Texas (freaking hot, 97f , 36c) I'm betting the choke is my...

    Speedometer removal

    Anyone done this yet? Have a few bulbs out. Tried removing the 3 screws. Couldn't pull speedo out, ended up cracking the plastic lens and now my odometer numbers are jumbled. Anyone know what I did wrong? Where can you get something like a Haynes manual for this? Been scouring the web for the...

    For us Yanks that need the Export Certificate translated

    Hey fellow PAO owners and potential PAO owners or any importers that have to get their cars certified. Found a guy here in Houston, TX that has 26 years experience translating Japanese to English and has a boat load of certificates to back him up. Don't know if your state will require the Export...

    Nissan Pao meets Nissan Pulsar nx se A.K.A Paosar

    Thanks for your take on it. I didn't really mean the car is "useless", just useless for the secondary purpose I was thinking of when I bought it. Truth be told, I was thinking of the Festiva SHOGUN when I bought it. I was looking for a Maxima VQ35DE V-6 to drop in the back. I figured they'd be...

    Nissan Pao meets Nissan Pulsar nx se A.K.A Paosar

    Hey guys, hope I'm not posting off topic (a little yes but) I have a question that I think Paogasm could answer for me. I just picked up a PAO a couple of days ago (I'm in Houston, Texas). Been driving it around and found that I seem to not have much top end speed. It accelerates pretty good...

    Hello from Wisconsin, USA

    As I suspected, the "inspector" hasn't a clue about what he's doing (it is Texas after all) The HS 7 form is all that is needed. There isn't a "clearance letter" from the NHTSA. I called the NHTSA, 202-366-5291, Vehicle Import Regulations, and was told that all you need is the form and you're...

    Hello from Wisconsin, USA

    Another hurdle, the auto theft division now states that I have to get a clearance letter from NHTSA. It's amazing to me that the Customs and Border Patrol's website clearly doesn't state that yet this cop says it need to be. Heads up to anyone else importing a PAO

    Hello from Wisconsin, USA

    Hey Rick, My car car took about a month after it was finally loaded. Actually, as I look at the b/l more like 5 weeks. Of course I used Galveston. I would imagine Seattle would take a week or so less and Baltimore maybe another week. I'm missing the radio too. I really like the car (but having a...

    Hello from Wisconsin, USA

    Okay, been away because I was PICKING UP my car. If only they had told me at the steamship line that the car HAD been released, I could have gotten it Monday instead of dancing with every body at the steamship company's American agents. Was a bit surprised by the condition. It was mostly as...

    Hello from Wisconsin, USA

    Well, it's not gone well with the steamship line. I have paid all the charges up to the date that storage applies but, no one at the steamship line will release my car. The girl who does import is away till Wednesday and that's when storage charges accrue. It's amazing that only one person in...

    Hello from Wisconsin, USA

    Hey Mark, I'm here in Texas waiting to pick up my PAO on Monday. Been waiting since April but it didn't get shipped until May and arrived end of June. I guess now the fun begins getting it all legal with inspections and what not (at least here in Texas). I see you have the "campus" roof (lol, I...
