What you wondering about?

'87 is T12, isn't it?

I own two of those.. European model 'Bluebird'.

Shoot, and I'll try to answer/look it up

i was just wondering about some of the general information about the car like why it is soo hard to find general info about the car and if there is any sort of demand for them...its starting to go into the shitter but im not gonna sell it or anything just because of its mysterious background...im thinking of fixing it up real nice and maybe put a new engine and stuff i forgot to tell the model its a 1987 nissan stanza XE hatch pretty fun.....

The hatchback Stanza was simply a hatchback version of the Stanza sedan. They were good cars overall, but the CA-series engines could be a pain to work on, at times (ie you do NOT want to have to replace a starter in this car!). They weren't particularly common...not as common as the sedan and Stanza Wagon (aka "Wally Wagon"), anyway. I wouldn't start investing into one looking for collector car status. Asian makes generally don't fetch a lot of money as "collector cars" unless they are sports cars, like the Z-cars or S1600/2000's. It was a car that was meant to be driven and when it wasn't practical to keep roadworthy, anymore, sent to the boneyard.

do you know if there is any kind of head light that i could get for the front of the car that would make it look cooler
