"it`s a hatchback...5 doors...i haven`t seen other on the web....."

Stupid me, I have seen these datsuns, there also called the stationwagons.
Btw these types also came out in the 3 door, ie, 2 doors at front and the hatch at the back.
The back, side glasses were removed and replaced metal panels.
They were known as PANEL\UTILITY VANS here in South Africa.
These were favourite company Vehicals for service orientated business.

I've got a service manual (Gregory's No. 195) for '79-81 sunny.
Could scan and email pages about clutch if you wanted.

You could perhaps try a library for a manual. Or perhaps a technical book store.

Yo.

Datto's right, clean and then inspect. Use a few bottles of engine cleaner if you have too{Theyre cheap}. Then Hose down, however make sure the distributor is protected from water splashes.


Anothjer thing, do you have a pic of this hatch 120y.

Dear "TheDude",

Please listen to reeves.

Carefully clean all of ther grease and grime off the engine, brake tubes and clutch tube, if it's a hydraulic clutch (not cable operated).

Once the engine is clean, you will more easily find the leaks. The engine may need to be reconditioned with new gaskets and seals, possible new pistons, rings and bearings.

120y Hatch, havnt seen this one.

Heavy Comsumption of oil-
few things,
broken, damaged rings or simply sump gasket leak or even sump nut washer needs replacing.

Clutch fluid leak-
probably slave kit rubbers underneath, next to g\box or possiblly top clutch master cylinder rubers worn out.

Break fluid leaks-
Rear plunges at back,and front caliper kits need replacing, or maybe broken brake line.

The best way to check all these is to put it up on hydraulic ramp etc and carry out a proper check underneath for all these fluid leaks.

Onething about dattos, if you fairly mechanically minded, and have worked with other cars, the datto is not that difficult to work on.
One normally needs a service manual when specs, elec diagrams etc are needed, however this site, has almost everything you'll need to know about all mechanical question that you may need .
Take time to read through the TECH SECTION.

what is that ?
