Australia Assembled

Australian-assembled B110 used a Nissan heater by Smiths. The front cover is fastened with screws instead of clips like the Japan-made heater. The electric are on the opposite side and it uses a different #Heater Cock valve.

Clean out debris in exterior of core

Hoses: Check for cracks, overly soft hoses, tight clamps

Flow valve: ensure it opens & closes easily through entire range. Also check linkage for easy and complete movement (before taking apart)

B210 is 27013-H5000, so a different part.

Heater Hoses

The heater hoses are 1/2 inch inside diameter hose. However, the original Nissan hoses were thin wall. Standard 1/2 inch hose is thick wall and will work but has to be forced through the firewall grommets.

Also, the original B110 thin-wall hoses were the braided type like this:
Album 1894
Original long heater hose is braided. Compare to the rear heater hose, which has been replaced with a plain hose.

Original hose clamps were the wire type. They do not need to be tightened very much; they are only there to prevent the hose from pulling off the metal pipe over the bulged part. These clamps are available from Nissan, but in a pinch other kinds may be used.

Removal

Heater was optional, so it is not reuired for safe engine operation. If you wish to remove the heater, how is it done?

Drain engine coolant
Remove heater hose from the fitting behind the cylinder head and plug this fitting with a 1/2" rubber cap
Remove heater hose from the lower radiator hose tee. Plug this fitting with a 1/2" rubber cap
Remove heater from inside car, & plug the two holes in the firewall

Plugs can be purchased at your local auto parts store. They have a selection - just ask!

1/2" plug

Firewall plug

You can either remove the fitting from the back of the head & put a plug in there, or get heater blank off rubbers & plug them both. You can get these from local Auto stores, it is 1/2" heater hose.

00931-30610 PLUG-HEATER OUTLET HOLE
Album 20668
Heater hose plug for cylinder head (as fitted to no-heater models)

Or the simpler way: Run a new longer hose from front to back of engine.

The most elegant way: Remove both lower radiator hoses and the heater adapter, and replace with a single-piece lower radiator hose.

Heater Bypass

If the heater core is leaking, the easiest fix is to bypass the heater. Connect the long heater hose to the back of the cylinder head.

You may leave it this way temporarily or permanently -- the engine runs fine either way. Just depends on whether you need the heater for de-misting the windshield.
