Just as the PB110 was the Excellent variant of the B110, equipped with an L-Series instead of an A-Series engine, so was the PB210 the Excellent variant of the next generation of Sunny, the B210.
The B210 Sunny replaced the B110 Sunny for the 1973 model year, and the PB210 Excellent was made available the following year.
(Note that most export markets were at least one year behind the JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) as far as their new model changeovers were concerned.)
Unfortunately, as was the case with the PB110, PB210 was never intended for sale outside of Japan.
The PB210 Excellent featured the same 1400cc Nissan L14 OHC (OHC) engine as the model it replace, the PB110 Excellent..

Note the unusual taillights.

Sunny Excellent 1600
Oddly, for 1976-1977 Nissan changed the Sunny Excellent from a distinct vehicle model (PB210) to simply a trim-level option for the regular B210.
This year had L16 engine and H165 differentials. The engine is a L16S, meaning Single-carb L16. A Twin-carb version was not offered.
1600 GL 4-dr sedan (GB211GT w/F4W63 4-speed & GB211GA w/3N71B automatic & GB211GF w/FS5W63A 5-speed 1600 GX (GB211JT w/F4W63 & GB211JF w/FS5W63A). Also came in Coupe form (K) with same trim/transmission choices
Same taillights as PB210
New is Rally wheels (not sure if they are steel or alloy, but they didn't use wheel covers).
Grille is unique, but not by much. This isn't the twin-mouth grille of the PB210.
Hood has the PB210 "vents", but is not peaked in front as was the PB110.
B210 Excellent 1600
Excellent also came in different trim levels. This one is a GX. Note the "Honeybee" style hubcaps and 1600 emblem, designating a later model with L16 engine.
