About the Bluebird 1.8 ZX Turbo Pre-Facelift T12

The 1986 Nissan Bluebird 1.8 ZX Turbo Pre-Facelift T12 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,229 kg with 133 bhp, which works out at 108 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.90 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 2,939 cars in the set it is the 2,796th quickest to 60 mph, and the 38th quickest of the 43 Nissans here. Its 86.5 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 7 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Nissan Bluebird 1.8 ZX Turbo Pre-Facelift T12 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 7 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-09-02. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
