I really don't see how you can even compare the two. You're comparing a 2004 - 2009 Nissan with a 1989 - 1995 (for the American market) 164. Of course the 164 is obsolete; it was obsolete in 1996! The computer you're posting on is obsolete.

If you're going to talk about lighter steering, you need to know the facts first. There are 164's with heavy steering and lighter steering. This usually has something to do with the steering damper that was in some racks and not others among other things.
