The Nissan Bluebird 1.8 ZX Turbo Pre-Facelift T12 reaches 60 mph in 8.94 s (100 km/h in 9.39 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.80 s, tripping the lights at 86.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.90 s and the eighth mile in 11.08 s.
Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and

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 14,946 cars in the set it is the 8,329th quickest to 60 mph, and the 86th quickest of the 263 Nissans here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 86.5 mph, the 6,626th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 7 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions
What is the Nissan Bluebird 1.8 ZX Turbo Pre-Facelift T12 0-60 time?
The Nissan Bluebird 1.8 ZX Turbo Pre-Facelift T12 reaches 60 mph in 8.94 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,329th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Nissan Bluebird 1.8 ZX Turbo Pre-Facelift T12 quarter mile time?
16.80 s at 86.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.08 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.90 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Nissan Bluebird 1.8 ZX Turbo Pre-Facelift T12 have?
133 bhp and 1,229 kg, which is 108 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 198 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Nissan Bluebird 1.8 ZX Turbo Pre-Facelift T12?
Closest here on pace: Alfa Romeo 33 1.5 105 (8.92 s), Suzuki SX4 S-Cross 1.4 140 (8.94 s), Smart forfour 1.5 109 (8.93 s). Each one can be raced against the Nissan Bluebird 1.8 ZX Turbo Pre-Facelift T12 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
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 2026-10-16. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
