N15 Series II

As part of a small RF series facelift that mainly included a new grille, tail-lights, wheel trims and cabin fabrics, Nissan capitalised on the Pulsar-Plus theme by adding keyless entry, air-conditioning, CD player and a driver’s side airbag as standard in the sub-$20,000 LX.

At the other end of the range, the acclaimed 2.0 SSS hatch witnessed a hefty price slash, and the Pulsar was enjoying buoyant sales.

To sustain this, Nissan reintroduced the Pulsar Plus from early ’99.

It added alloy wheels, a rear spoiler and power mirrors to the basic LX package.
