The EGNN14 was a variation of the GTI-R built for the European Domestic Market (EDM) and badged as a Sunny (the name of the existing N14 in that market). There were both LHD and RHD versions.
Sunny GTI-R (GNN14) Production Numbers
Over the 4 years that the Sunny GTI-R was produced, there were 3 "phases" of production.
According to the data available, the total number of GNN14s produced was 771.
It is under investigation whether the final phase was part of Series 1 or 2 - the dates are (mostly) RNN14 S2, but the VINs are in the sub-100k of S1, and the 2 colours are from both series.
Location of production is under investigation (there is no "plant" code on the GNN14 VIN plates).
There were 2 types of of Nissan Sunny GTI-R (GNN14) sold:
- LHD: Model code EBYNLRN14T*******
- RHD: Model code EBYNRRN14T*******
The model code is printed on the VIN plate, located top-centre of the firewall in the engine bay.
Differences in the Sunny GTI-R
The GNN14 has some parts from the RNN14 RA Series 1, some from the RNN14 RB, and some unique.
- VIN: JN1EGNN14U00*****
- Model: EBYNL*N14*******
- Produced: 02/1990 - 01/1993 (further dates under investigation)
- Power: 220ps (217hp, 162kw) (different fuel/ignition map due to lower quality fuel than Japan at the time)
- Torque: 267Nm (27kgm / 197lb.ft)
- LHD models produced: 668 (available in many European countries)
- RHD models produced: 103 (available in England, Ireland, Cyprus and Malta)
- Boot lid number plate surround: Different design (to fit Euro-size number plates)
- Speed limiter: None
- Speedo - LHD: kph
- Speedo - RHD: mph & kph
- Gauges - LHD: bar (boost and oil pressure)
- Gauges - RHD: psi (boost and oil pressure)
- Clock: Digital (at the base of the tachometer gauge)
- Umbrella holder: None (solid panel like RNN14 RA S2 - no vent like RNN14 RB)
- Air conditioning: None (option)
- Rear light clusters: Lower half divided into 3 sections internally
- Rear fog lights: Outer globe of each light cluster (switch next to rear demister)
- Brake lights: Only 1 globe per side (the other used for fogs)

- Gearstick surround: Rubber (same as RNN14 RB)
- Shift knob: Plastic (same as RNN14 RB)
- Upper door trim: Plastic (same as RNN14 RB)

- Rear diff casing: Longer cooling fins (same as RNN14 RB)
- Headrests: Hollow style (same as RNN14 RA S1)
- Electrical components: Several have different connectors (ie. starter motor and alternator)
