The Short Version
- 4×100 on every Pulsar grade, N14 and N15, across eighteen chassis-code groups.
- The GTI-R uses the same hub as a 1.3 base car. Only the wheel is bigger.
- The VZ-R is no different either.
- No hub bore has ever been researched for any Pulsar grade.
The GTI-R Runs the Base Car’s Hub
The GTI-R is a homologation special — SR20DET, ATTESA four-wheel drive, built so Nissan could go rallying. It is the reason anyone imports a Pulsar.
It sits on 4×100, exactly like the 1.3-litre V1.
| Chassis | Grade | Engine | Wheel | Tyre | PCD / Holes / Bore |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| E-N14 | 1.3 V1 | 1.3 | 13×5J +35 | 155SR13 | 100 / 4 / Not researched |
| E-EN14 | X1R | 1.6 | 14×5.5J +40 | 175/65R14 | 100 / 4 / Not researched |
| E-HN14 | GTI | 1.8 | 14×5.5J +40 | 185/60R14 | 100 / 4 / Not researched |
| E-RNN14 | GTI-R | 2.0 turbo 4WD | 14×6J +40 | 195/55R14 | 100 / 4 / Not researched |
| E-HN15 | GT | 1.8 | 14×5.5J +40 | — | 100 / 4 / Not researched |
| GF-JN15 | VZ-R | 1.6 SR16VE | 15×6J +40 | 195/55R15 | 100 / 4 / Not researched |
| KD-SN15 | CJ-I 20th Anniversary | 2.0 diesel | 13×5J +35 or 14×5.5J +40 | — | 100 / 4 / Not researched |
The GTI-R’s distinction is a 6J rim where the rest of the range runs 5J or 5.5J. Half an inch of width, same +40 offset, same bolt pattern.
That is good news and bad news. Good: any Pulsar wheel bolts to a GTI-R, so you are not hunting a rare fitment. Bad: a 14×6J at +40 is a very modest wheel for a 230 PS rally homologation car, and most GTI-R owners want considerably more. You will be shopping the aftermarket, not the donor pile.
Consistent With the Sunny, Not With the Bluebird
Worth placing in context, because Nissan of this era is genuinely inconsistent.
The Pulsar stays on 4×100 throughout. Its close relative the Sunny B14 splits between 4×100 and 4×114.3 by grade, and the B15 moves entirely to 4×114.3. The Bluebird U14 and Sylphy G10 are 4×114.3. The Presea is 4×100.
So within one manufacturer, in one decade, in one size class, both patterns are in use — sometimes in the same showroom. Never read a Nissan’s bolt pattern across from a relative.
Nobody Has Measured It
All eighteen chassis-code groups leave the bore blank, and the individual grade page for the GF-JN15 VZ-R confirms 調査中 — under investigation.
Nissan’s small-car figure is 59.1 or 60 mm. The Rasheen and the base Wingroad are documented at 60. A Pulsar is very likely one of those.
Note what is not here: 64.1 mm does not appear anywhere on this page, for any grade. It circulates freely for the GTI-R. It is not in the factory data. Measure your hub rather than accepting it.
The VZ-R N1
We looked specifically and found no separate VZ-R N1 listing. Only a plain VZ-R on chassis GF-JN15. The N1 was a limited homologation variant and it may simply not be catalogued separately; we cannot tell you whether it differs.
Sizing
+35 to +40 on 13 to 15-inch rims. For a GTI-R the usual ground is 15×7J or 16×7J in the +30 to +40 band, which is about as far as the arches go without work.
4×100 is abundant. The bore is your only real check, and the same three-way trap applies: 54.1 for Toyota, 56.1 for Honda, 59.1 or 60 for Nissan. A Toyota-bored wheel will not pass over a Nissan hub, which fails safely. A Nissan-bored wheel on a Honda hub does not, which does not.
Importing
The N14 ran from 1990 and the N15 to 2000, so the entire GTI-R production is eligible for US import and most of the N15 is too.
The GTI-R was never sold in North America and is the obvious target. The VZ-R with the SR16VE is the sleeper — a 175 PS naturally aspirated 1.6 in an ordinary hatchback, at a fraction of GTI-R money.
What We Could Not Verify
- Hub bore for any Pulsar grade. Confirmed unresearched across all eighteen chassis-code groups.
- The VZ-R N1 as a distinct listing. Not present.
