What a treasure this document is ...

dated May 1973 Nissan Service department from the first inside page
日産自動車株式会社 サービス 部
Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. Service Department

Inset on the cover is the same Excellent 1400 Coupe as shown in the color brochure page earlier (from the the Sunny optional parts brochure). It is tricked out with options like the rear window louvers and tape stripe

Chanced on this insightful blog about the Sunny B210 and whey there were so many options offered for it compared to the handful that you could get for the B110

In a nutshell, even in the mass-market car class, it was becoming an era in which luxury on par with advanced cars was required. The design, which is reminiscent of the Kenmeri Skyline and Bluebird U, is surely the answer

...


The oil crisis and the emission regulations that followed greatly changed the shape required for mass-market cars, but I think it was difficult to foresee this at the time of the development of the 210.[/url]

thinking on this, and the american market I grew up in, i see the similarities. At the time, US cars got more ornate/luxurious -- although the cars were always one size bigger than JDM (we didn't have the smallest class, and they didn't have the largest class). Yet at the same time (1973) the oil embargo hit, ultimately resulting in accelerated down-sizing. I wonder how Japan reacted? He mentions it "changed the shape" of cars

As an american, the B210 styling always seemed weird. But compared to the Skyline C210 as "corporate styling" it makes sense

And Yes! I remember those psychedelic graphics. My older brother had a similar one in 1973, the famous Dylan poster. Which actually came out in the sixties, but by 1973 the style was used in Datsun advertising. Just as the style was on its way out. Which reminds me that car styling is always about 5 years behind the times. It takes a while to design a car and bring it to market

mattndew76 stuff is the best anywhere
Matt could be making his own billet brake calipers
and hat for rotors for other makes than for us even
here in Japan would kill the Suzuki Jimny aftermarket
it is so mundane the products from Japan these days.

Matt if you ever check in again look at these non ventilated for 2018+ Jimny LMAO

Beautiful alloy covers! I prefer a two-piece flavor, as whittled up by Ratsun.net's resident CAD/CAM genius, mattndew76, for my race engine. It's a bit taller (to clear roller rockers, if I can ever find them) and the two piece design makes those 'do-to-the-point-of-OCD' pre-race valve lash adjustments a breeze. No oil running down the side of the block, no scraping off the old cover gasket, no fiddling with getting that decades old NOS cover gasket to seal. Matt machined male/female mating grooves into the top/bottom halves to assist locating and sealing them. I liked the 'as-cast' finish over the highly polished version and I had him machine the top smooth so I have a place to apply a Powered By Briggs & Stratton decal.

Rod Erlandsson's 1973 Datsun 1200 Deluxe out of Sweden

Volvo T5 engine 200hp in the boot. But not a rear engine setup, rather Mid-engine -- as the engine is in front of the rear axle

diamond sheet covers the "engine compartment". Not the rear struts

This 1200 ute used a Subaru IRS. And disk brakes. I wonder which model those rear suspension pieces are from

Width of Leone is 30mm wider than 1200. Legacy/Impreza/Forester is much wider

These parts looks like custom mustache bar holding up the rear of the diff, and custom links bolting to the front spring-eye brackets. Or are they? The arms look like they started off as factory pieces

This ute was in a scrap yard ... so no details. Seems like it bolts to the stock leaf spring bolt points
