Ozomatli Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Hello has anyone ever heard of, seen, or know where to get some Datsun b210 sedan louvers (70s car), not for the hatchback model! I have nover been able to find any im starting to think they do not exist. Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 my B210 had them but it was the Coupe (hatchback) I never seen nor heard of sedan louvers. In Australia they have Venetian Blinds for the sedan. But they fit inside the rear window, not outside like our louvers. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 You can buy from eBay Like this B210 120Y with venetian blinds Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 For the B310 Coupe (Datsun 210 hatchback)? I'm not aware of any company that still makes these for B210 or B310. eBay and Craigslist are your best friends for finding vintage parts. Quote Link to comment
Nicholas7620 Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 $200 dollars for venetian blinds, :o I'll pass... Quote Link to comment
Vethraxx Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 I would love to find louvers for the B210 coupe. I remember seeing louvers even for the little thin triangle windows on the coupe. I was only like 15 at the time. Had I known, I'd have bought some. Anyone got a hottub time machine? Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 My B210 coupe had black louver back in '98. I traded my hottub time machine for it. Should of kept it. Quote Link to comment
Mini-L320 Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Is it possible to make a Custom set of Louvers? Were they made from Light Steel or Aluminum back then? Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Aluminium. Always made of light alloy. Quote Link to comment
Nicholas7620 Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 You could take the louvres off a Z and convert them to your coupe. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
Pumpkn210 Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 I was thinkin bout makin some out of some coloured plexi! ;) Quote Link to comment
Mini-L320 Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 You could take the louvres off a Z and convert them to your coupe. :thumbup: I have a 1980 210 Sedan. I think it would be a little trickier to install them on a sedan cause the Coupes Come with the brackets(which is up top on the roof) that open up the back Trunk/Window at the same time. I've seen a 79 RX7 at my local junk yard which has the Rear Louver, I'll see if I can stop down one of these days and see how much they want for it. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 The angle of the louvers is all wrong on the coupe. The sedan glass is more up/down. Quote Link to comment
Nicholas7620 Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 You can make your own louvres for a sedan, go to Home Depot, and have Home Depot cut them to size. Installing the necessary brackets would be the challenge. I'm thinking you would want the louvre to follow the angle of the glass and attach the louvres and fabricate brackets accordingly. My B210 is running good right now. The clutch is weak but still grabs. My next project won't be louvres until after I replace my clutch. :rolleyes: I'll be interested to see what you Ratsun brains invent. :D Quote Link to comment
Mini-L320 Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 If you guys ever seen 1980-1982 Toyota Corolla's they have just about the same look as the 1979-1982 210's, And i know they still make Louvers for the Toyota Sedans so im gonna find one and see how that works out.

Mini-L320 Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Found this and I was right. Both datsun and toyota share the same rear window Louvers. A bit Pricey for something thats made of plastic I think, but will look cool :cool: http://www.sfxperformance.com/parts/AST1234.htm] These are for the B210 Sedan's which will also fit Toyota's http://www.sfxperformance.com/mmy/1980/Nissan/210/parts/Louvers/search These are for the 210 Sedans Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 They shouldn't be very expensive. Toyota ones are only $200. Quote Link to comment
