SENTRA , PULSAR , SUNNY ,!

It would depend on which engine and transmission combo is in the car more than anything else

SORRY1500 MANUAL

As above they're all the same car.Will vary depending on how worn out each is.

morrisman1, Jun 14, 5:27am
1500 should be the GA15DS which is carby. Apparently very economical but not an excess of power. The 1.6 will use a bit more fuel but has a ton more power being fuel injected. My 1.6 manual gets around 6.3L/100km on the open road and about 9L/100km around town on shell 91 but much better on BP 91 (no figure yet as I've only recently switched but going off the normal $40 fill and count the Km its a significant difference, Im up to 245km from $40 instead of 200km)

the GA15 were also FI

my sentra gave me 17 Km/L when nana driven thats terrible

my 94 1800 bluebird gave me 15 km/L when economy driven. & the 2.0 can give 14 km/L

fit extractors - the standard exhaust are so bad its unbelieveable

morrisman1, Jun 14, 7:00am
the n14 sentra/pulsar ga15 were all those electronic carby models in my experience. I know the factory manifold is terrible but there doesnt seem to be off-the-shelf headers for them here in NZ.

wrong2, Jun 14, 7:09am
well the exhaust manifold is the usual cast 4 into 1 shocker with incredibad unequal length that they just love in the land of jaypan

but the eye poppingness doesnt end there by a long shot

the short version is : the GA15 can out accellerate any GA16 at any engine speed with just an extractor change

the 16 is equally badly restricted

the difference is night & day

Wow 0.5l difference per hundred ks.That really is terrible. For shame. Some one think of the children.

wrong2, Jun 14, 7:17am
!

its 15.8 kilometers per liter

versus

17

after 10 liters im 10 km further up the road

trouser, Jun 14, 7:46am
6.3l per 100 v 5.88 per 100 = 0.42 difference. Big deal.

Good to see you back

morrisman1, Jun 14, 7:49am
Have you heard of any extractors which are available in NZ!

wrong2, Jun 14, 11:35am
born an idiot !

the small difference in liquid = minor cost if you only going to ever do 100 km in the car

but its a large difference in distance you can travel. at the end of a year you have used (& paid for) far less

also - you can get 1800's that will get into the 15 km/L range eaisly - for a 1500 thats not economical

wrong2, Jun 14, 11:37am
i make my own. they are one of the eaisest performance parts to make

the muffler design is where its at just as much as the right sizing for the headers

the mufflers on 1990'snissans are eye-wateringly bad

trouser, Jun 14, 8:22pm
Gah. The difference is small enough to be down to minor factors such as whether or not the a/c is on or you have a bushy mustache.

trouser, Jun 14, 8:27pm
I guess an extra tank per year is truly terrible. The children, won't somebody think of the children.

wrong2, Jun 15, 4:48am
that is a load of crap

driving for economy isnt a science, its an art form

getting another whole kilometer out of a liter of petrol isnt a "minor" thing at all.

trouser, Jun 15, 8:47am
No it isn't. You said earlier that morrisman1s' economy was "terrible". Clearly it isn't. The average driver would use an extra 53l of fuel per year over 13,000ks of driving. Big woop.

Terrible would be at least.this is getting boring.

wrong2, Jun 17, 3:04pm
when other GA15 powered cars are traveling another 1.2 km on evey liter - it is

when 1800cc engine cars are equalling that economy - it is

you badly fail atgrasping the concept of "economy" - or on what makes for a difference in it between petrol burning ICE cars
