2+4 SGL SGX
SGL and SGX trims use a 2+4 gauge cluster with full engine gauges, so there is no room for clock. In these models the clock in located in the center stack, above the radio towards the center of the car.

Econometer
Econometer (per Datsun catalog) was called Economonitor in Australia and ECONO MONITOR エコノモニター in Japan while the B210 version was called Econo Meter/エコノメーター.
In operation, a green light appears at low throttle openings, and a red light at heavy throttle. It is of course a type of vacuum gauge. Does it work to enhance fuel economy? Yes. By keeping acceleration light, the driver can achieve fuel savings up to 30%. And yet you still have maximum power available, should you decide to put your foot down and throw economy to the wind.

Late
1980-1982 switched to a smaller driver's "cockpit" that included just the instrument panel -- the radio and center vents were outside of this area. Japan vans stayed with the early style.
