Headlights should in fact need to be adjusted. When you drive on the right side of the road the left headlight is suppose to be angled to the right a little to avoid blinding oncoming drivers. Vice versa for cars designed to drive on the left side of the road. Now in reality in the U.S. almost everyone's headlights are misaligned and the Pao lights, no matter how misaimed they may be, aren't going to be nearly as offensive as the insanely bright lights on the newer, taller vehicles.
 
Hey All!!!

Just joined. New PAO onwer!
Kansas City, KS
She is aqua grey with sunroof. Automatic

Just over 100,000 miles but engine rebuild 4,000 ago in Japan (they say that makes a difference)

She is all stock and that is how I would like to keep her. Need to get new vinyl in the spring. She is a beauty...if you like akward, and I do.
"Lovin' every minute of it"
Welcome. My car is the same as yours. I'm glad you intend to keep yours original. These cars lose their character very quickly when they are modified.

Hello everyone, I bought my wife the PAO just about two years ago.We are a big Nissan owner family. Currently have 6 Nissans. She loves the car and since day 1 she had a vision of keeping it looking original but with up to date tech and amenities. The car came with a digital radio and it was an eyesore. So we went on the hunt for an original radio and that's where I came across JAUCE.com. I have bought so many parts from this Japanese auction site.

The manual windows got old fast when you are cruising by yourself. Knowing that the Figaro is a sister car to the PAO I thought about the size of things. Essentially should should fit in certain places. I looked at the door panel metal skin, I compared the figaro motor and arms. Thought it looks similar to the Pao. So I started buying parts. With some mods I was able to install the Figaro power window arms into the Pao and we now have power windows run by independent Roll down handle switches. custom power window switch in the ashtray.

Custom RPM gauge made out of an old Japanese kitchen timer. Bought an antique look 2 1/16th AutoMeter Gauge. Almost $200 bucks for the gauge to then cut it up in half and make it fit into this tiny egg shape housing.

The lack of power is a hand to deal with with Virginia hill roads. The flow of traffic is dangerous when going so slow. When I first looked at the engine bay. Many things stuck out to me that reminded me the Sentras. I thought, I think an SR20 fits in here. So I started researching, taking measurements and more measurements, and more. I thought, oh 4 speed auto / 150hp. It will be insane.
So I went looking for a donor car. I found a (RHD 96 Nissan Primera in CT which had a cable driven auto tranny) I thought this is the donor. Car was very clean, no rust nothing wrong with it and I was going to strip to nothing. Well, I pulled the motor from both cars and we test fitted it into the PAO, It fit, not only did it fit but the front and rear motor mounts lined up. Then came the left side wheel, the transmission was 2" further out than the frame rail. The tire wouldnt turn all the way. I thought this isnt going to happen. We needed to keep it auto. Then the idea of converting to manual came about. She entertained the idea, more speed but I have to learn to drive stick. OK! So now I have two cars in pieces and I have to find EVERYTHING for a manual. But do I go PAO for Primera/ Sentra/ NX2000 /G20 or PAO parts? Well I found a rotten out 93 NX2000 5 speed from JGYcustoms. This became the donor for the parts. The motor from the Primera I kept, Roller rocker SR20 make more power than standard SR20. ( getting greedy) From the NX I took everything. Mounting the motor was the easy part Custom driver side mount. Used the stock auto mount bracket with stock auto mount just modified to fit. For the rear mount it needed to be extended and the bracket on the motor needed to be moved over with spacers.
A/C has to stay so everything is very tight. Ultras Slim 2x 10" Fans from MIshimoto, A honda civic radiator, 9 modified.Up to date today I have one more mount to finish and I can connect everything and fire it up. I will create a full thread of the build.

Sorry for a super late update and reply. The car has been done now since about end of May. The axles took a long time to arrive. All in all The process wasnt that bad. Here is a quick video walk around about the car. Any questions feel free to ask.
