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.

Heater Inspection
Heater core:
- Leaks (before removing, check for leaks in passenger area, under carpet, on firewall cardboard, etc)
- Flow (ensure it is not plugged). You can test similar to Template:Radiator
- 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)
Air ducts: Ensure they are clean and connected properly
Electrical: Ensure fan spins at both High & Low speed
Coolant Thermostat: Test

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:
In this photo the front (long) heater hose is the original braided type, while the rear heater hose connected to the firewall has been replaced with a plain rubber hose.
Original hose clamps are the wire type. These 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
Heater hose plug for cylinder head (as fitted to no-heater models)
Fitting thread is 3/8" BSPT.
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.
Discussion: POST A-series heater removal
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.
Alternatives
- Maddat sells a Universal Electric Demister Unit which is smaller than the stock unit, so it can be used with an extra-large tunnel
-
- Universal under-dash heaters
-
- Electric heaters, You can use a ceramic heater element in the original 1200 heater box. Or just plug in an el cheapo acccesory car heater as from J.C. Whitney.
