Unit: kPa (bar, kg/cm2, psi)
Cap relief pressure

Nissan according to my van VIN number 88kpa (0.88bar)

Will this make a difference if i fit the Nissan 0.88bar.

The difference in boiling temperatures between those two pressures is 4.7 degrees. So your car might boil earlier.

If you prevent it from boiling, there will be no difference.

Thanks Peter, will go then for the available Nissan cap 0.88bar, don't intend to boil rather stop for a whiskey and wait cooling down, done this before with my V8 Landcruiser

the VIN number spec is for Europe conditions. The AFRICA Nissan operates in much higher altitude adn higher ambient temperatures
Stick to the 1,2 bar Africa specs
