The Nissan E series name was used on two types of automobile engines. The first was an OHV line used in the late 1950s and throughout the 1960s. The second was an OHC version ranging from 1. 0 to 1. 6 litres and was produced from 1981 till 1988. It was replaced by the GA engine series.
The first E-series of engines was one of Nissan's earliest homegrown designs, although being essentially an enlargement of the earlier Nissan C engine. It did not use the same nomenclature of the later Nissan engines, with all models sharing the same displacement and simply called "E". It displaced 1. 2 L from a 73 mm × 71 mm bore and stroke.
