Which model? B13 1600's were already EFI, all power, etc. Later models even had ABS. All B13's also had rear seatbelts (lap belts on lower grades). The a/c vent selectors are even push button with 5 settings. Toyota is still slider type with only 2 settings.
I'd rather have the B13 as I have prior experience working on one. Most B13 engines are also chain-driven (no timing belt). The lower market prices of Nissan (vs. Toyota hype) means you'll spend less on the vehicle purchase and can alot a bigger chunk of your budget towards repairs (repairs are inevitable on cars of this age regardless of brand).
Btw, the B13 is still in production in Mexico as the Nissan Tsuro. Gives you an idea of the design's longevity.

Yung B13 SS is EFI na so it may have an advantage. Especially at this age unless regular ang carb tuning ng AE92 siguro. EFI is self adjusting all the time, to maintain optimun conditions.
Though sabi nila magaan naman daw ang AE92.
Not really sure, but I'd still go with the B13 SS dahil EFI na. Kung hindi man mas matipid, at least more power and lower emissions (pero pareho naman silang pasado sa standards nung time nila).

Re: toyota ae92 or nissan b13
B13 SS... if you can the SE Saloon which has all the features of the SS plus 4 wheel disc brakes and 4 channel ABS.
enjoy all power features including antenna and the efficiency of the 1.6L DOHC 16valve EFi 110HP engine. i currently drive my cousin's B13 and it feels fast, light and handles great too. if you want a better B13, get the facelifted models (late93s) with better looking front and rear fascias, 14" wheels 5spoke wheels and rear seatbelts. also, i think only the facelifted B13 has the SE Saloon variant.
b13 SE-saloon. kumpletong kotse nayan+more, including power retract side mirrors, 4wheel disc w/4-channel(not 3 in most new these days).tapos GTS bumper lang, ok na yan, pormado na!
kung ae92, 1600carb lang yan, mostly basic package. ang modified mahirap na din..kasi baka may modification issue na di na maresolba ng orig. owner..
MANUAL kunin mo!

Medyo malakas sa gas ang AE92. 1600 na carb. Yung EE90 ang matipid noon kaso at that age you'd be hard pressed to find one that can still do 13km per L on the highway. Madami lang available na JDM parts yung AE92 sa Evangelista kaya ok sa maintenance and upgrades.

What part of illegal do you not understand?

Well, the AE92 Corolla is still manufactured in South Africa and sold as the Toyota Tazz. I guess the design longevity issue gets cancelled out already.

Yeah, the AE92 has some guzzling issues, but the B13 isn't the most efficient 1.6 EFI either.
Older Nissans can have guzzling issues if there are sensor problems. Of course, a MAF sensor problem on an old ECCS car can be rectified by some electrical contact spray, which is about 150 pesos or so at your local hardware store...
I'd pick the B13, Nissan's liveliest Sentra chassis, good drive (I learned how to drive on this car... and seeing how badly I drive, you can tell it was a nice car... ) good balance of torque and power, and lots of nice features. It's the fault of this car we got stuck buying Nissans for the next ten years...
