I'm new here, thx for the super site.

Please do not kill me, maybe this was covered previously.
I'm from South Africa, your series numbers are causing my brain to freeze.

I own a 1982 Datsun Deluxe 1400 LDV bakkie (as known in RSA).
This vehicle is fitted with the A14 Datsun Motor and this is where it gets interested.
From what I could figure out between this site and wikipedia, is that I have something in the lines of a Datsun B121 or a cross breed between that and a B140 series Bakkie.
It can't be a B140 as that is a Nissan. From what my father told me is that this bakkie was produced in the phase were Datsun became Nissan, hence the Datsun bakkie with Nissan keys.

Have a look at the attached picture or for more info if visit my website @ www.race-tech.co.za

I would like this info as it will help me better understand what series parts will fit this vehicle.

Any help will be appreciated?

Hi Herman, welcome to the club.

Nissan or Datsun doesn't matter, it's the same company and the same car. They simply changed the badge name some time in the eighties.

B120, B122, B140 doens't matter much, 95% of the parts interchange.

If yours originally came with a 1400, then it's probably a B140. You can tell by looking at the engine compartment metal plate, it should list it.

Thanks alot for the help.

On a different note, I see a lot of suggestions about fitting B210 suspension parts on the ute, does anyone know what it was known in South Africa?

well the b210 looks to be the datsun 140z coupe 1977-78 or it could be the 140 y gx which looks like the 120 y

its rare the 140z so i`m guesing if it is 140 y gx that that`s what it is.. or the 120.. just trying to be helpfull

ah wait of course it isnt the 120.. sorry for my mistake.. that`s b110.. so just ignore anything i said now, sorry

Quote:B210 is the chassis ID and is the same the world over. Look under the bonnet on the chassis ID plate and in South Africa it says B210. The name on the outside differs in different parts of the world: Sunny, B-210, 120Y, 140Y, 140Z or 160Z.



South Africa (KP)B210 "140Y"



South Africa (KP)B210(G) "140Z"

Thanks alot for the info.
