Nissan Rasheen engines
The Nissan Rasheen is a Japanese 5-seater off-road vehicle manufactured by Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. between 1994 and 2000. Due to the fact that the model is built on the basis of Nissan Sunny, it can also be attributed to a station wagon that demonstrates increased cross-country ability. The model used transmission components from Nissan Pulsar (N14). Literally translated, the name of the car sounds like “compass arrows” and outwardly consonant with the name of Russia in English.
The Nissan Rasheen was offered with 3 engines between 1994 and 2000 (3 petrol). Displacement ranges from 1.5 to 2.0 liters, power output from 85 to 165 hp. All of them use a timing chain. The longest rated lifespan belongs to the Nissan SR20DE (about 400,000 km).
