Current revision

Datsun 1200 used a traditional vane-type water pump, driven by the fan belt. The same pump was used from 1966 Datsun B10 to some 1982 Datsun B310 up through 1994 Nissan 1200 Sunny Truck. However, air conditioning-equipped models used a different hi-performance pump.

Overview

Datsun 1200 style long-nose pump:
Album 20402

Heavy-duty (short-nose) H72 pump. Can be interchanged with long pump if used with matching short-nose spacer, pulley and fan.
Album 10737

If you use regular water in the engine, it will look like this:
Album 21296
Use coolant/antifreeze to to prevent the rust. NOTE: This is mild oxidation, and has not damaged the pump.

Paraut-brand pump

Comparison

There are two basic water pumps for A-series engines, each of which uses a different pulley and fan. Album 11095

NOTE: Both setups are exactly the same length block-to-fan, so they interchangeable as a set along with the pump.

Long-nose VS short-nose pumps
Album click to view

1. Short pump with short pulley, spacer and high offset fan
Album 20400

2. Long pump with long pulley and low-offset fan
Album 20435

You can't mix and match these parts, as the short pump uses a different bolt pattern (the spacer is an adapter allowing the fan to bolt up).

Datsun 1200 is long shaft, large pulley (spins slower)
Newer is short shaft with spacer, small pully (spins faster)
Note that the pulley bolts are wider apart in the newer pump
Newer pump has studs for the spacer
Some aftermarkets pumps have a sheet-metal impeller, smaller but more agressive
Genuine Hitachi and Atsugi pumps (both A12 and A15) have a cast iron impeller

Cast iron vs. stamped steel impellers. Cast iron shaped impeller is superior at high RPM.

Datsun 210

The heavy duty H72 water pump was installed on all 210s (North American B310) starting with 1980 model year vehicles (late September 1979 production).

Factory Air Conditioning

NOTE: Dealer-installed Aircon may have any sort of fan, pump and pulley. For example, 1200s may be fitted with flex fan or metal fan (neither of which are Nissan parts).

Main: Air conditioning

Factory A/C used the H72 style (short-nose) water pump, with either a fixed-blade fan or clutch-fan.

B120

Datsun 1200 pickup (B120) used the H72 aircon water pump & pulley, but with a fixed-blade fan:

Pulleys

These are the common pulleys:
- Datsun B110: 129 mm (~5.05") diameter, 2.33" high, locating hub 0.85"
- Datsun B310: 107 mm (~4.21") diameter, 1.74" high, locating hub 1.98"

Use a matched set of pulley and water pump. Both sets end up the same distance from the radiator.

1. Long pump with long pulley and low-offset fan
Album 20435

2. Short pump with short pulley, spacer and high offset fan
Album 20400

These are not mix-and-match parts, as the short pump uses a different bolt pattern (the spacer is an adapter allowing the fan to bolt up).

Album 16639
The long pump (B110) uses a fan with positive offset. The short pump (B310) uses a fan with negative offset, but with a spacer. The overall height of fan from block face is the same for both models.

The two combos of pump/fan/spacer interchange as a whole combo. The newer type allows the fan to be unbolted while the radiator is still in the car.

Presumably the A-series moved to a small diameter pulley to slow down pumping flow, perhaps to prevent cavitation at high speeds.

A third pulley is the B310 Aircon setup:

Album 23591

After unbolting
Album 23594

Clean the gasket surfaces carefully. Remove all traces of prior gasket
Album 23595

Use the thin paper gasket, and torque the bolts to spec. It should not be very tight, these are small bolts.

Repair

1200 water pumps made after August 1970 are non-serviceable.

Up to July 1970, a kit was made to repair the pump
Album 26753

Early Datsun B10 pumps were rebuildable. Seal and seat with gasket.

Datsun 1200 spec is 12 liter/minute @ 5 meters. Outlet is 1 inch inside diameter. It requires the maximum flow at peak HP, so it depends on how much HP you will build in, and the radiator size/efficiency.

Album 23203

For drag racing, you can turn off the pump while accelerating. For street use, an electric water pump decreases the reliability (because the standard mechanical pump is virtually 100% reliable).

lamb_daiquiri: I've got an 80lpm Davies Craig pump on my A15 with a pump controller. Most of the time it just pulses (when I can hear it). The controller replaces the thermostat for regulating coolant flow by adjusting pump speed based on a temperature sensor. Once up to temperature I don't see the needle move at all. Don't ever run the pump dry, they have ceramic seals in them that don't like to be run dry.

I've also got a electric fan switched off a 70°C thermo switch mounted on the radiator outlet. Comes on when it needs to.
