What is a 1986 Nissan PULSAR worth today?
The Shifty Estimate is $10,300. That sits below the $15,000 median of actual sales because the estimate weights the most recent results most heavily, and recent sales have come in under the longer-run median. We rate confidence low: 2 public sales in a year is not enough to be firm, and the honest range is wide. Treat it as a starting point, not a valuation.

About the 1986 Nissan PULSAR
The N13 Pulsar represents Nissan's bold experiment in modular design, featuring interchangeable body styles on a single platform. While the sedan and wagon variants were mundane, the three-door hatchback with its distinctive angular styling hints at the performance potential beneath. The real treasure is the GTI-R homologation special that would follow, but even base Pulsars offered Nissan's characteristic build quality and the option of the twin-cam CA16DE engine. These cars pioneered Nissan's Multi-Link rear suspension that would later appear in the Skyline GT-R. Today, clean examples are increasingly rare, especially in North America where they were sold briefly. Collectors appreciate them as affordable entry points into Nissan's performance heritage, with the three-door hatchbacks commanding premiums. The Pulsar's significance lies not in outright performance, but in showcasing Nissan's engineering ambition during their golden era of innovation.
