- No unnencessary comments. No annoying music. Just 10 minutes of driving experience, nothing more, nothing less.
Don't expect amazing action, it was an ordinary day driving to work with the low trim E16i engine that is not known for making awesome power.
This is the blue Rz1 that you might have seen in my previous videos:
- 1988 Nissan Sunny 1.6 SLX (German model)
- E16i type engine (1.6L, 73hp, 8V, monopoint fuel injection + cat)
- digital cluster conversion
- H&R 35mm lowering springs
If you listen carefully, you can hear the many issues this car still has! A whining sound when cold, and some things rattling when shifting gears. Oh well, it still runs!

that digital dash is just so beautiful
Thank you. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to get. I only borrowed it from a friend to be able to build the adapter.
I still hope I get one some day.
@@ClemensInJapan I'm well aware, hunting for one as well :D
Great car and lovely dashboard. I envy you i always wanted a dashboard like this
I love the dashboard
Thanks mate! It looks super 80ties, I think.
I'm glad found you driving one. I have a 1988 Sentra 4 doors, despite its 70HP it is still a fun little car to drive. Sentra is same as Sunny.
My first car in 1999. It was a white one from 88 also with 1.6l engine. The funny thing about it was that two tiny seats in the rear. I realy was in love with that Nissan and never got a car like this again 🥲
The nissanb12 cars are de best nice performance sporty model.
Such a relaxing vibe. Thank you
I love your videos, im about to buy this car and your aknowledge will help me a lot, thank you so much
Mein erstes selbst gekauftes Auto war ein 1988er B12 mit E16i, später wurde dann auf GA16i umgebaut (Kopf vom E16i war krumm und ein Schlachter war billiger als ein Kopf). Dieses Auto habe ich noch heute und werde es niemals in diesem Leben verkaufen. Jede Fahrt ist wie eine Zeitreise in die 80er. Ein absolut geiles Gefühl. An den Digitaltacho ist ja leider kein rankommen mehr.
Wie sind die B12 was Zuverlässigkeit und Rost betrifft? Ich bin am überlegen mir einen als erstes eigenes Auto zu holen und finde den B12 echt ganz schön und praktisch dank der Anhängerkupplung
@@xxchrxx1887 Um Zuverlässigkeit brauchst du dir keine Sorgen machen, der lässt dich niemals im Stich. Beim Thema Rost gibt es eigentlich nur wenige Stellen die man im Blick haben MUSS. Die Dome vorn und hinten sind da eigentlich am schlimmsten. Ansonsten halt das gleiche wie bei alllen anderen Autos auch, Scweller Radläufe etc. Wobei der Sunny da eher unproblematisch ist. Wo kommst du denn her? evtl kann ich dir bei einer Besichtigung unter die Arme greifen.
@@onkelbenzrustbustersfahrze3036 Danke für deine Hilfe. Wie siehst es denn mit dem Verbrauch aus? :)
@@xxchrxx1887 Gute Frage, da hab ich nie wirklich drauf geachtet. Ich würde aber behaupten, dass es irgenwas zwischen 7 und 9 Litern sind.
Holy shit what cluster conversion is that? I as well have a 1988 nissan sentra, but the hactchback I would love to put that cluster in my car.
That is the original JDM digital cluster made for the B12 Coupe. The dashboard for the B12 sedan looks similar, with a bit of luck if might fit in.
Where you got that dashboard from? It's sick, great video
Wtf this build is dope woshing to have one its my dream
Any idea where you can buy a digital cluster like that?
Try buyee.jp, from time to time they pop up in Japan. Alternatively, some facebook groups might sell it from time to time.
Salute from 1991 Primera ;)
I neeed this nissan sunny 1988 /87 door.
😍❤️
Moin moin. :)
Habe grade deine Kanal entdeckt und finde deine Videos spitze. :D
Wo kommst den ungefähr her?^^
Frankfurt!
I own a 1987 2 door sedan. I'm chassis swapping a 350z under it to make the ultimate sleeper, once I'm done I want to swap the front end of an RZ1 onto my Sentra
Bei meinem Nissan Sunny schwankt die temperaturanzeige die ganze Zeit und das Wasser fängt öfter an zu kochen weißt du woran es eventuell liegen könnte?
defekter Temperatursensor
I just got my license and am looking for one of there as my first car. Is the car suitable for tall people? This is because I'm 1,95m and I have trouble driving my friends miata comfortably.
Yes! I am 2,00m, and I just fit. Make sure to get a car without sunroof, you will get 1more cm of head room. Besides that, the Rz1 is super comfortable for tall people as us.
@@ClemensInJapan Thank you! That settles it, now for some saving up... Good thing they aren't expensive. Just a little rare in the Netherlands.
@@ClemensInJapan Aside from the rear seat ;)
i don't care about power it's reliability is number 1
Where could i get that dashboard!? I love it!
They sometimes pop up on yahoo japan, or you might be lucky in one the Rz1 facebook groups.
@@ClemensInJapan thanks! I'll try

donde consigo ese tacometro digital para sunny
my dad owns a rz1 but one of the ignition coils are bad can someone help me find some
What engine do you have? You can just install an aftermarket ignition coil.
But right hand
Lucky dude!! I do also have a NISSAN Sunny RZ1. That digital Cluster looks real sexy, too bad they are pretty scarce, I do want one for my car, mine is a NISSAN Hikari 1988 (Sunny B12 RZ1 for Mexico). Originally it had the E16ST Motor but the previous owner took away the turbo, actual plan is: rebuild the engine, add exhaust headers and change the Hitachi Single Barrel Carburetor to a0 twin Weber/Mikuni 40-45 mm carburetors, with those 2 modifications the E16 motor can get a nice HP push. Check it:

That sounds very interesting! So in Mexico you got a factory E16S with a turbo? Do you have pictures, or video of the car? That sounds like a blast of a car, I am trying to get an E15ET since many years. The E15ET was a factory option in Japan, and I guess the best level of an E type engine you can get. I honestly like the E type engines a lot. I got another Rz1 with the CA18DE engine, but I actually prefer the small E16i engine.
@@ClemensInJapan Sure, Here's Wikipedia info about the E16ST: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_E_engine#E16ST
And here's an Original Survivor in pristine condition with the E16ST motor: www.autoclasico.com.mx/site/?p=15&id_fol_auto=18582
Also I am the actual owner of this car: www.autoclasico.com.mx/site/eng/default.aspx?p=15&id_fol_auto=30545 unfortunately the previous owner did not took good care of this beauty, right now I'm in the process to fix several problems that he created due to their neglect on giving a proper maintenance to the car. Anyways, I am thinking of creating a VLOG to record the progress of the restoration of my Nissan Hikari.
Found a vid with a Turbo E16:

@@Ferizu Thanks a lot for the many details! It is very interesting that the Mexican Hikari are so different to the EU spec model. You have: 1) unique golden paint job 2) the red interior 3) turbo carb engine 4) turbo steering wheel 5) no clock. Do you know if the Hikari were built locally in Mexico, or imported from Japan?
@@ClemensInJapan Almost all of the B12 Series were locally built in the "Planta A1 NISSAN Aguascalientes" that is located in my city, many B12 spare parts can still be found brand new (some OEM and some by aftermarket manufacturers), most parts are for the B12 Sedan, interestingly the clock could be found in the dashboard of the top line B12 sedan (Called "Tsuru 2 Equipado"), and lately in the last years of the B12 Coupe version (years 1990 to 1992, years 1988 to 1989 didn't receive the clock).
@@Ferizu Awesome. You guys are so lucky! Got the B12 production right in the middle of the country, and still able to get some spare parts. In Europe, it is absolutely impossible to get anything from Nissan, not even small plastic parts. Every spare we have, we stored away in our homes. Do you by any chance have more details on the production in Mexico? I've read somewhere that the Hikari was produced until 1992. Very cool! Did you guys also get the CA engine, or only the E type engine?
Sir
