After reading alot of your threads. I have made the right decision about buying my nissan (1990 se). It also has all the traits as most of your cars do with the sticky odometre in the morning/cold/barrie/. Also the VTC ticks in the first start up of the day. But does not last as long if it has clean motor oill in it! As I run the 5 spd the radio wines right along with the car!(hate it) But I payed 3000 of a car that has 140k on it and after the seller put 2600 into certifing it is almost a new car. the 2001 rims fit fine on it and look big.
This morning after a cold start I drove down the highway, the car was warm, I was slowing down in fifth gear and the car started shacking like it was'nt get enough fuel or air. But only in fifth gear ? any help!

 

the 1990 doesn't have VTCs...its probably the lifters you're hearing

 

Thats what I was thinking...My max did she same thing....it went away right after I let out of the clucth on mine though. Dont know what thats all about. lol
