For the A-series 1000cc Engine see: A10 Engine

Nissan A10 chassis "Violet" was marketed as Datsun Violet/510/Auster/Stanza/160J (1977-1981). Violet was Nissan's C-class (compact) "budget" model family. It differed from the Bluebird family notably by not fitting IRS to the base sedan. When the 610 Bluebird moved upscale with the larger 810 Bluebird, the 710 Violet became the still-small A10 Violet. The A10 is nearly identical to Sunny B310, except for trim (including different grille and rear lights) and larger engines. In North America the A10 was badged as Datsun "510".
