just having a surf and I came across your question, the utes were definatley avalable in Oz until 85 as I have owned two of them and everything you have said is correct.
The engines in the later models 80 onwards I(Ithink) did definatley have the 120y style engine so a14/15 will drop straight in

you are right 1200ute, except you dont need to drill any hole, thanks for the effort that was a lot more friendly to read

I managed to buy a 1990 Nissan Sunny Ute (ex Japan) in NZ Early this year. The best thing is they are still the same design as they where years ago. All parts interchange still.

correct my if i am wrong on that A-14/A-15 bit

hey you have your hand on a gem there i would give all the money i have for it but i dont have any money and it would be easy for you to bolt and A-14/A-15 in as i have herd that the cross member is in the right place for it to just bolt in with slight mods like new hold drilled or some thing




see ive put more care in my post See SEE

I'm not 100% sure, but from what I believe, the 1200 ute was made until at least 85. But other 1200's weren't. They were replaced by 120Y's and Sunny's...

Just a question regarding datsun 1200 production years in Australia. I have a 85 model datsun 1200 ute. Is this the last year they released them in Aus. It has tacho dash, retractable belts etc.
Any help would be appreciated as every time I need spares I'm told the 1200's werent released in 85.

Thanks.
