hi all.. i'm new here. :)

my car is old datsun 120y (B310) with square headlamp.

anyone know how to take off the meter panel? i try to replace some blub.

there r 3 screws on top of the meter cluster, but after i take off those screws the meters wont come out yet.
anyone can help?

thanks

Hi Sam,I know on the 120Y B120 ute you must take out the switch,s too,wiper,lights,choke, and then the hole panel comes of, To get the knobs of you must push the knob in and turn anti clock,

oic..
thats means for B210 must take the whole dashboard out.

anyone knows about B310? it seems like can take out the meter cluster only without taking out the whole dashboard
but i just cant figure outt.. :(

I thought B210 = 120Y (in Australia)
& B310 = Sunny (in Australia)

Where are you from sam1741

hi all
i from asia.. :)

B210 and B310 here is generally named '120y'

and 'sunny' refer to the other car by nissan (front wheel drive) , which here generally named '130y' or 'sunny'

:)

mine is last batch of B310 with square headlamp

so anyone can helpe me on the meter thing?
really not looks good with some part dark.. while i saw other 120y with bright meter i so envy..


appreciate if anyone can helpQuote:

it's not that easy to remove it..

B310 dash comes in 2 portion.. the top part and bottom part.

You'll need to remove the bottom part in order to see the screws to remove the meters.

wow..
this means i also have to remove the whole dashboard.. only can remove those meters?
this must be a whole day work ....

is there any other way?

i thought it is build like nowadays japan cars
where we just remove few screws and we can remove just the meters only.....

to get the gauges out of a b310 you have to remove the dash panel,which includes undoing the 12 mm nuts holding the radio in,popping the heater control panel out to get to the two
screws under there,popping out the rear window demister & dash light control,plus the choke cable.you then have the three screws along the top of the panel,plus the two under the dash panel,& the one on the side next to the driver door.oh,& the ones holding the ashtray panel,& disconnect all the wiring.just take your time & always assume there's something else holding it in until you've double checked everything is free.you also have to remove the steering column surround so you can get to the two bolts holding the steering column up,because you need the extra space to get the dash panel out without breaking it.you sure the dash light reostat isn't turned down so there's no dash lights.

oh... i think is one bulb burn already
cause the space between the tacho and speedo is dark.
and i think something loose with the clock..
cause sometimes when goes through bump, the clock will on.. then suddently will die again..



oh.. so..take off the bottom part of the dashboard only right? need to ask something...

1. undoing the 12 mm nuts holding the radio in,

2. popping the heater control panel out to get to the two screws under there,

3. popping out the rear window demister & dash light control,plus the choke cable.

4. the three screws along the top of the panel,plus the two under the dash panel,& the one on the side next to the driver door.

( the 2 screw under dash panel.. i cant find them.. the one next to driver door i can find, do i need to take out the one other side? at paseenger door)

5. the ones holding the ashtray panel,& disconnect all the wiring.

6.remove the steering column surround so you can get to the two bolts holding the steering column up,because you need the extra space to get the dash panel out without breaking it.

(this one i also not know so well but i think i can manage it)


really appreciate the description...

thanks a million. :)

i think i gotta remove mine also.. got dead insect relatives in the tach :O

anyone know where to get a new dash for PB310? coz mine's cracked/broken in few places :(
