Bleach Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 A Nissan Stanza at the Tacoma Pull a part has the FWD KA24. It has a very narrow aluminum radiator. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Or an electric fan :D time to go to pull a part with a tap measure. :) Quote Link to comment
510_Dillon Posted February 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 last night we stayed up till 11 trying to fit a radiator, we went with a 510 one, the holes for the old radiator would off to one side so we had to space it out, it fits just fine Quote Link to comment
KB10 Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 I bought a new '76 B-210 and it had a 1483cc? OHV engine that just would not quit. J 15 I think it was called. They also came in 1299cc called a J 13, was your dad's maybe a J 13? Still had them (J 15) in '80 I believe. I think they were around 85? horse, so an L20B should give it a good kick.The US market 1974 Datsun B-210 [chassis code B210] came with the 'one year only', long stroke A13. The 1975 & later B-210 came with the A14. This engine is basicly the A13 bored from 73mm to 76mm. The following model, the one in the pictures, is a US model 210 [without the 'B'] & the chassis code is B310. It was available with the poverty pack A12A engine, which is an A12 with a 75mm bore for a displacement of 1237cc The car was available with an economy version of the A14 & this engine had round inlet ports for higher gas velocity & more stable mixtures in urban [urbane?] driving. The 'full power' A14 used an oval port head design. I can't say for sure which cars got the A15, but it seems likely the 210 wagon probably got it. The 210 [b310] was marketed from 1979 to '81 in the US I believe. The A15 is an A14 with the stroke increased from 77mm to 85mm. It used the same block & rods, but a different crank & pistons with a lower deck height. The J series of engines was derived from some godawfull Austin design, but those clever Datsun engineers did three things with it that the British never could. They ..... Stoped it leaking oil Rectified all the reliability issues [there were many] Made it perform well These engines were discontinued in passenger models with the introduction of the L series in the P510, however it was still used in the light truck range as the base engine for a few more years. So there you have it, 'B' series Datsun cars [chassis codes B10, B110, B210 & B310] came with 'A' series engines & these were made as A10 [988cc] A12-1200 [1171cc] [front distributor] A12 [1171cc] [redesigned block with distributor moved back near No. 3 cyl. All A series from '74 used this design] A12A [1237cc] A13 [long stroke, Bore x Stroke= 73x77 ] [1288cc] A13 [short stroke, Bore x Stroke= 76x70] [1270cc] A14 [1397cc] A15 [1488cc] The B120 truck [like a Ranchero version of the Datsun 1200] is still in production in the South African factory, & the new 2007 models have recently hit the showrooms. It uses the A14 engine & reportedly still uses a carburettor. Are there any other Datsun engines that have been in continuous production for more than 41 years [since sept 1966] or any Datsun models that have been continuously made for over 37 years? [early 1970] B120, you can't improve on perfection. Quote Link to comment

KB10 Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 The B120 is correctly known as a Ute, or Utility, a bodystyle that was invented here in Australia at about the time that Pickups were invented in the US [early to mid 1920's] Ranchero's & El Camino's are in fact 'Utes' I am about to head of to work, so I will try to get some pictures this evening, however, I would suggest that you have a look through this international Datsun Forum http://www.datsun1200.com/modules/news/ You will turn up many images of the 1200 Utes as they were available here untill the late 80's & are still commonly seen on the streets. Datsun 1200 Ute, ... you know you want one. Quote Link to comment

Icehouse Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Dude so I talked to this dude about an engine he was selling. Well I ended up not getting it. The crazy part is he lived in Tacoma and is friends with the 210 guy. Crazy huh. Quote Link to comment
71-521 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 small world huh? was that the $100 A series you talked about? I could use some parts for mine... hmmm, Tacoma you say? Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 That's a cool 210 too. Always wanted to engine swap one, I've had 4 over the years, all as 'get around' cars not fast cars. If I ever get another one, it will be faster at least. :D Quote Link to comment
Pumpkn210 Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 I am now in controll of 2 round headlight 210s and one square headlight automatic car. 2 of them are parts cars and one is mine. Thinkin bout partin em both out. Well atleast the automatic one with the blown motor. So I got parts if people need em. Also thanks a million for the pics. I plan on building up a naturally aspirated 20L. For my 80 round eye. Sweet! Quote Link to comment
71-521 Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 I'm interested in the auto setup if it's cheap... I'm just an out-of-work broke son-of-a-bitch... Quote Link to comment
Pumpkn210 Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 I want a L20 and a five speed. Preferably a truck one. I would be willing to trade a whole car or maby both for a good L20 & 5sp! Dave (253) 224-1139 Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 I will trade you a L20 for a A series five speed Quote Link to comment

I think it has the 148? cc engine, not sure. Quote Link to comment
Pumpkn210 Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 They changed to square lights in 80 but my car was made in 10 of 80 and still has the round lights and chrome rimmed taillights. The runner is a 79 with a total title. It has an A14 and a dog leg 5 sp. Im going now to inspect the square headlight auto car so more info to come. Feel free to give me a call.

Pumpkn210 Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 OK, So I went and looked at the square headlight 80 210 and it is pretty nice. A little minor front corner damage but decent black interior. The car has been sitting for a whyle. I was able to get my key to get the ignition into the on position and with a jump from the pumpkn and some gas in the carb she started briefly. I had to jump the starter with some pliers. The radiator was a gallon low but the oil was hella clean. It is an a14 auto car. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Nice work on the swap. Just to be clear it is a Datsun 210 *not* a B-210. That means Nissan chassis B310 (1979-1982 model years). The B310 changed to square headlights in 1980-1/2, exact date unknown. Now for those comtemplating an L-series swap, word has it that the HL510 circa 1980 510 crossmember is a direct swap into the B310 (i don't know if it is true or not). South End Auto Wrecking usually has a 510 around. And yes, United States never got the J15 engine, in any Datsun although we got the J13 in the 520 pickup. All the RWD B-cars came with a-series engines except some special JDM and South Africa cars with came with L14 or L16 engine. See more about this at datsun1200.com wiki - PB210 Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Now for those comtemplating an L-series swap, word has it that the HL510 circa 1980 510 crossmember is a direct swap into the B310 (i don't know if it is true or not). At one time I measured every crossmember in the family looking for a front sump PL510 option, and IIRC the late 510 CM is about 2" wider than a B310. But could be easily narrowed to fit. But, not sure why you would want to? The shape is identical. And as the late 510 mounts will unbolt from the CM, it would be easier to just cut your B310 mounts off and weld the late 510 mounts on. United States never got the J15 engine, in any Datsun although we got the J13 in the 520 pickup. Wasn't it a J15 in the early 1500 Roadster? Quote Link to comment
