Let me tell you guys a little bit about my car. Often times mistaken for a Toyota Corolla, this B12 1989 Nissan Sentra can take on many names. Known in japan as the Nissan Sunny, in Mexico as the Nissan Tsuru, and known in the USA as the Nissan Sentra. What's special about this car you might ask... well you'll just have to watch and find out. If you're interested in car photography follow my Instagram.

Still got one, and I'm not getting rid of it, I just love it. Carries me everywhere I want and need to go and it always brings me back home..

@chasingcloudsandflavorrevi9817 3 месяца назад

I remember that car because I had one and 2 B13 sentras and I would absolutely love to own yours.

@gilbertlabonte5095 Год назад

My first car was a 1987 nissan sentra that looked like that, but it had a 1.4l carbureted engine... Man does that bring back memories!XD

@tomkato6400 Год назад

These were really popular back in the day. The later B12s with the GA16 engine were quite an improvement over the earlier ones with the E16 engine that only made 70 HP.

These are a bit of a cult classic in Mexico, they were sold as the Tsuru II. There was also a sports hatchback version sold as the Hikari.

I've seen that these are super popular in Mexico but in America they get no love lol.

@hazaeltorres1620 6 месяцев назад

Exactly, I see that they have completely forgotten about the Nissan Sunny B-12 here in Mexico and Latin America, it is a very loved and sought after car. I see that in Japan they have better cars but we value the resistance, loyalty and beauty of its square lines. If you know where I can find pure auto sunny clubs, I would appreciate it. Greetings, a hug from Mexico.

@tolkien777 Год назад

In Japan , there was alot of cool things about the B12 Sunny, one of the cooler facts is that B12s were some of the first Nismo trim production cars they made , also came with E series Turbo 4 banger engines ... similar to what was seen in the Pulsar and Exa at the time. There was also the RZ-1 which never sold in the US unfortunately. All in all B12s actually have a decent bit of things going for them

@andysaunders3708 7 месяцев назад

I wish that cars like this were still available - they're simple, do the job, ok for city and expressway driving. Long road trips - nah. Reliable, and relatively economical. I really don't trust a "new" car over about 5 -8 years old.

@melaninfuture Год назад

I bought a 2-Door Nissan Sentra XE (b12) from my friend in the late 90s. I added several aftermarket cosmetics to it. I even lowered it on 15 inch TSW rims. I eventually put a header on it, but had to remove it because the engine kept overheating. Eventually, I had to get rid of it because the second transmission on it went bad. Good memories of that little car.

Don't know in what part of the US u are, but a few mods can make that car real peppy: 1. Headers (2.5" pipe) 2. Cut ou the Cat Converter. 3. Port polishing the heads. 4. Weber Carburetor 32/36 (for gas mileage) or dual 44 IDF for some nice HP Or 5. Weber + Turbo. Mine's is a 1988 Nissan Sunny RZ-1 (GTI Coupe in Europe, Hikari in Mexico) that looks like this one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mnLBvDpApvI.htmlsi=Qihmhjr7ApO27VJf

@buddyandbabybilly 20 дней назад

Anyone else have that weird fuse glitch on these where it just dies as you start moving? It would happen all the time when I first inherited my 1990 sentra, often in the worst of situations. I'd have to crawl under the steering wheel and replace the little yellow ENG CNTL fuse, usually on the fuckin freeway stopped in traffic, or in the middle of an intersection.

I've always liked these. 2 door saloons are quite rare where I live, lots of regular sedans available though. aren't 16x8 a tad big for a B12? from what i've heard they take up to 15x8 to avoid rubbing but that's coming from the hotboi spec height crew. Personally I like how they look on 14x8.

I sometimes rub in the front if I hit a fat bump but regular driving it’s good, I rolled the rear fenders so those have never rubbed.
