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.

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
