Datsun 1200s were equipped with an easy-to-use scissor-type jack. It shipped in the boot, as shown in the Owners' manual.

You can jack-up the 1200 at these points:

Using OEM jack (see Owners Manual above):

• under rocker panel front
• under rocker panel rear

Be sure to use a Nissan or Toyota jack with a "slot" to fit over the rocker panel seam.

Using other jacks:

• Under lower A-arm (Transverse link), near tire
• Middle of engine crossmember (lift entire front end)
• center of Differential (lift entire rear of car)
• Outboard ends of rear axle housing

CAUTION: Before sliding underneath the car, be sure to place jackstands under the suspension. In a pinch a tree stump or beefy timber can work. Make certain it is secure, and lower the weight of the car on the jackstands.
