Hi. I am new to the group. I've looked around on this question, but can't
seem to pin down an answer. For purposes of working on the car, are the
Pulsar & Sentra basically the same (87 vintage)? I want to buy a Haynes
manual, but there is not one for the '87. The parts counter recommended a
Sentra manual. Is this correct?

Thanks,

Also called Sunny in UK so this is most likely what Haynes wrote the
manual for.

You need to match body/chassis codes. eg early B12, HB12, RB12 or
later N13, B13 (N = 3 or 5 door hatch, B = saloon or hatchback coupe).
Some markets may have different engines so make sure the book covers
your engine eg E13, E16, E15ET. Some markets have different anti
pollution carbs etc. Some markets have different electical systems
for things like running lights and brake lights that are used as turn
lights.

Nissan should be taken out and shot for making this mess over naming
cars and trim specs.

To answer your question sentra and pulsar engines and power trains are
basically the same. So much so that even the front sub frame is the same.
