1989 Nissan BlueBird T72: Rebuild-1

Parked in debris and left to rot away, this 1989 Nissan BlueBird had suffered through three years of neglect. Unfortunately, it is not just any Nissan or any BlueBird for that matter. It is a Nissan Bluebird with the CA18DE engine; a 1.8 litre, 16 valves with coil-on-plug power pot that chugged out 129 HP to the front wheels. If you are akin to history, you could have heard of George Fury and his Nissan Bluebird performing a streak in the 1984 James Hardie 1000.

I decided to rebuild this vehicle and give it a new lease of life.

This first slideshow details the condition in which I met the vehicle. Notice the amount of dirt and needed restoration. Body has not been worked on before...a plus

First Job....a deep wash. removed the tonnes of dirt weighing the car down.

It should be noted that vehicle was not starting at the time. Possible fault was a damaged ECU.

Did some online searches...rigourous because this vehicle was not sold in the USA. Vehicle was manufactured in the UK. I found the ECU code numbers and hit the market...Got a new ECU plus Crank Angle Sensor...Vehicle started after three attempts.

There was evidently some form of engine wear from the persistent smoke emanating from the exhaust. I contemplated on buying a new engine outrightly but decided to consider a rebuild of the present one. The smoke symptoms were signs of Piston Ring wear.

We reinstalled the engine and started the vehicle...nice throaty sound.

Next stage would be be the wiring, the body work, the upholstery, painting and other little perps...

Maybe I would be able to get a replica of George Fury's Nissan BlueBird and its appeal...

Here is a picture of the BlueBird that caused a rave at the 1984 James Hardie 1000
