The C13 was the first Pulsar ever officially sold in mainland Europe. Nissan had always used the Cherry, Sunny and Almera names there instead.
Order a GTI-R with Nismo parts a dealer couldn't fit, and Nissan shipped your car to Autech for factory installation instead — only 21 of these Nismo-built GTI-Rs ever left the line.
A bitter falling-out between Nissan and its UK importer meant this exact car was sold in Britain under two different names at once — as a Pulsar from one distributor and a Sunny from Nissan's own new outfit.
A limited-run N13 Pulsar variant ran three viscous couplings for its four-wheel drive — one per axle plus a centre unit — nearly the same layout Nissan launched in the larger Bluebird soon after as "Attesa."
In May 1983, some Pulsars switched from fender-mounted mirrors to door mirrors — a style Japanese law had only just begun to allow, and Nissan grabbed the change before any other Japanese maker did.
This Pulsar's unusually long nose wasn't styling for its own sake — Nissan engineered the space for a rear-wheel-drive version aimed at developing markets that was never actually built.
