Nytrosfinder Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Did Nissan stop producing the 2-Door WD21 after 1990? I haven't seen a 2-Door WD21 after that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MY1PATH Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 (edited) In 1990 when nissan went to a 4door with a vg30e there were still a few 2door bodies left for america that also recieved a vg30e. Its a rare find in the US but there were about 500 2doors with the vg30e. Edited December 6, 2009 by MY1PATH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedPath88 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Found one in the wrecking yard a month or two ago. As stated, there were some '90 2Dr's but most were 4Dr's. The limited number of 1990 2Dr's were the only ones we got with MPFI in North America. In other parts of the world the 2Dr configuration ran for several more years.

azscott Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Funny this thread came up as I was curious too. I am going to look at a 1990 2 door that is available locally, rebuilt motor and tranny. Looks pretty sharp. scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nytrosfinder Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 It's rather disappointing that they stopped making them 2dr cause they are great. Too bad they weren't made with the better metals so they wouldn't rust out as easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Did the 2dr go a few years later in other countries? or was that just the wd21 chassis itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavefromOZ Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Did the 2dr go a few years later in other countries? or was that just the wd21 chassis itself? Yeah, Cyrils is a 92 2 door, I believe this is the last year a 2 door was available here in Oz. http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=21068 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingman Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 The newer frames rust much worse than the old frames. All you see are the 4-doors with rotted frames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSlowReliable Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I say now that I would enjoy a 2 door....but talking with someone who envied my truck, he said he had owned several 2 doors over the years, loved em a ton, but hated having to climb to the rear seats, and was overjoyed when I told him 90-95 have 4 door 6 cyl models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nytrosfinder Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 I personally think that Nissan should have continued making the 2drs till they came out with the R50 body style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alkorahil Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 When the 4 door came out the sales of the 2 door went to near zero. My boss likes to tell the story of a white 2 door they got in when the 4 doors came out and how they could not sell it at dealer cost for a year. You have to remember when the Pathy came out the SUV craze was just about to start. Until then true Utiity Vehicles like the 2 door Pathy were for the most part a niche market - they were essentially body on frame pickups with a hard top. The 4 door was done to appeal to the soccer moms and such and to compete with the sensational new Ford Explorer which came out in 1990 and got the SUV craze going.

Precise1 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 The newer frames rust much worse than the old frames. All you see are the 4-doors with rotted frames. 2 4 doors here with perfect frames so I have no idea what you are talking aboot. I say now that I would enjoy a 2 door....but talking with someone who envied my truck, he said he had owned several 2 doors over the years, loved em a ton, but hated having to climb to the rear seats, and was overjoyed when I told him 90-95 have 4 door 6 cyl models Yes, the extra access is great, and not just for people. I personally think that Nissan should have continued making the 2drs till they came out with the R50 body style. Nope, I disagree. I would have not bought one. Make both, maybe, just 2 door would have killed sales. Hate to tell ya but the back doors aint that fun to get in,or out of... I have no problem getting in and out of the back doors what so ever, but then I own a pair of legs... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Did the 2dr go a few years later in other countries? or was that just the wd21 chassis itself?
