According to the data available, the total number of Nissan Sunny GTI-Rs produced was 771.
Sunny GTI-R (GNN14) Production Numbers
Over the 4 years that the Sunny GTI-R was produced, there were 3 "Phases" of production.
We are investigating whether the final phase was part of Series 1 or 2 - confusingly, the dates are (mostly) RNN14 S2, but the VINs are in the sub-100k of S1, and the 2 colours are from both series.
Although assumed to be in Japan, and at the same plants as the Pulsar, the exact location of production is also under investigation (as there is no "plant" code on the GNN14 VIN plates).
There were 2 main types of Nissan Sunny GTI-R (GNN14) sold in Europe:
Sunny GTI-R Options
Rather than offer pre-order options at a dealer level like the Pulsar, the Sunny was offered as trim level variations in some regions (ie. "Luxury" which came with power windows and mirrors).
The model code is printed on the VIN plate, located top-centre of the firewall in the engine bay.
Sunny GTI-R model differences to the Pulsar
The Sunny model was the same basic car, but it shared some parts from the Pulsar GTI-RA Series 1, some from the Pulsar GTI-RB, and some unique.
