On the firewall of your Sunny should be a tag like the one in the picture below.

Open in new window



































This tag will tell you all that you need to know about what was originally fitted to the car & I expect that your tag will have the same mechanical details as this one.
The engine should be an A15, with a single [S] carb & it displaces 1488cc

The gearbox is a [F] floorshift [4] four speed [W] wide ratio [60] sixty series gearbox with the [L] long extention housing.

The differential is an H150b [code HB] in 3.7 to 1 ratio [37]
The H150 diff was used in Australian 120Y & Sunny models, however the ratio was 3.9 to 1 when used behind A12 & A14 powered models. H150's also came in a 3.54 to 1 ratio as well, but this seems not to have been used in any Australian models.

Only the last of the Australian Sunny Sportswagons got the A15 engines & the 3.7 to 1 diff ratio.
I have an owners manual for one of these A15 powered models & it says that the original wheels were 13" x 4-1/2" [steel] or 13" x 5" [alloy] & they came with either 6.15S-13 Bias ply tyres, [582mm OD] or 155SR-13 radials. [580mm OD]
What is the size of your 14" tyres? If they are larger in OD then this will raise the overall gearing resulting in a slightly reduced performance & a slow reading speedo. [you would be traveling faster than you think.]
The amount of performance reduction & speedo error will be dependant on just how much larger the tyre OD is compared to standard.
