Hello WilliamEJ9,

Unfortunately, the 1.4 was not available in the United States so I don't have access to the information. I looked around everywhere online can't find anything definitive.

Looks like it was only available in Japan (JDM) and Europe. North America was only available with a 1.6L.

You could try the dealer but when I worked at Nissan, we didn't have access to anything other than North American vehicles as well.

I will continue to look though and see if I can find it for you but for now unfortunately, I don't have that information available.

Thank you,
Brendon
