I wondered this too... And seeing as he hasn't changed the log book to show it's a Diesel, he can't claim for cheaper road tax either

EK9 was a legendary car with its high power output from a 1.6,until Nissan released the Pulsar VZR N1.
197bhp from the 1.6 SR16VE motor.Thats where my money would be going.

That was an engine tuned by an outside company though Only 200 were made! The normal one produces just over 170bhp, which is still mightily impressive. But it's easy to take the B16B to 200bhp as well!

In terms of hatch back's it most certainly is John. There haven't been many that are quicker around a track until recent mental power turbocharged motors!
