ggzilla Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 DatsunHistory.com is usually pretty good. But considering the lack of details on this one, I find it suspect: * A specific country is not mentioned * A "dealer" sent it to him (making it hearsay) * Nissan Lander was a show car, not a production vehicle * One of the photos is from Velocity, a wheel company * I can clearly see a Nissan emblem on one of them * One is mispelled "Nirvana" * None of the graphics have Datsun on the car, or in the photo it is superimposed on top or to the side. On the other hand it could be all true. I just have doubts. Quote Link to comment
N0RCALDIME Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Nope. Those are all legit NISSANS, but no Datsun. Quote Link to comment
yellowdatsun Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 It is true that the trucks in places like Saudi Arabia are still branded as Datsuns. Quote Link to comment
freekwonder Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 It is true that the trucks in places like Saudi Arabia are still branded as Datsuns. Everything I saw in Iraq was Nissan, was tempted to try and get to the Nissan dealership in Fallujah for the hell of it, couldn't convince the convoy to stop though. lol. Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 It is true that the trucks in places like Saudi Arabia are still branded as Datsuns. And the Nissan Axcess is still the Datsun Patrol! Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Where is the new Nissan Axcess still sold as a Datsun? Sounds like another rumour. In Japan the D21 and D22 were marketed not as the Hardbody, but as a Nissan "Datsun Pickup". Quote Link to comment

LOL! I wonder why not. Some folks just aren't reasonable I suppose. Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Where is the new Nissan Axcess still sold as a Datsun? Sounds like another rumour. My bad! Checked with my son in Afghanistan. Still being sold as a proper Nissan Patrol [all Patrols are Nissan]. In Japan the D21 and D22 were marketed not as the Hardbody, but as a Nissan "Datsun Pickup". Quote Link to comment
freekwonder Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 LOL! I wonder why not. Some folks just aren't reasonable I suppose. I know, they were so rude not stopping for my Nissan/Datsun ammusement. lol. Would have gotten a picture of it at least but didn't see it until the last minute. Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 I wonder what the chances would be of finding some of the hard to find NOS parts at the local dealer from another country. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 I wonder what the chances would be of finding some of the hard to find NOS parts at the local dealer from another country.About the same as here. Nissan Japan has a few parts that Nissan USA has run out of. Same for Nissan parts in Europe. Nissan South Africa will see you brand new parts, even new 5-speed for A-series engine, fits a 1980 Datsun 210. Nissan Malaysia has brand new A15 engines. Quote Link to comment
