The Nissan NX and NX-R remain one of Nissan’s most distinctive compact coupes of the 1990s, combining Pulsar-based reliability with a sportier, more playful personality. Best remembered for its rounded “bubble” styling and removable T-bar roof panels, the NX offered open-air fun without stepping into full convertible territory. The NX-R, in particular, added extra appeal for enthusiasts, with sharper presentation, lively front-wheel-drive handling and the willing twin-cam performance that made Nissan’s small cars so popular in the era. Its compact size, low driving position and practical hatch-style rear opening made it a fun daily driver as well as an affordable weekend project.

For Australian owners, the Nissan NX-NXR is now a modern classic with plenty of charm and a growing enthusiast following. It shared much of its engineering DNA with the N14 Pulsar, which is great news when sourcing maintenance items, braking components, suspension parts, filters, ignition parts and accessories through Automotive Superstore. A fun bit of trivia is that the NX was sold under different names globally, including the 100NX in Europe and NX1600 or NX2000 in North America, giving it a surprisingly international fan base. Today, surviving examples stand out at meets thanks to their unmistakable roofline and 90s Nissan character. Whether you are restoring one, keeping it roadworthy, or upgrading handling and service parts, Automotive Superstore can help keep your NX or NX-R performing at its best.
