ppeters914 Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Nissan forklifts with the H20 engine. Don't have the part number, but the forklift shop should be able to look it up. Common upgrade for the roadster crowd. I hear folks picking 'em up cheap ~$90 on evilBay. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Dont the early Maxima's / 910's have them too? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I think they are more common in Canada to help cold starting, but may be a factory option as not all 620s had them. All Z series 720/200sx engines I have ever seen have them, but are clocked different and the solenoid hits the dip stick tube if used on the L series motor. I bent my tube against the block slightly and it fit but the solid dip stick rod now wouldn't. Changed the dip stick but eventually found a G/R L starter from an '84 Maxima. What about the LD28?

yello620 Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Canadian Datsuns. 1977-up, including B210. Just about any Chrysler vehicle. Are you saying that the Chrysler starter fits the Datsun? Does anybody have a good picture of a Datsun gear reduction starter? Jason Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 I wouldn't say Chrysler starters would fit a Datsun. The original question was open-ended, not restricted to Datsuns. what vehicles did the gear reduction starters come on? Quote Link to comment

The original question was open-ended, not restricted to Datsuns. well being this a datsun forum, i just went ahead and hoped that everyone would just assume datsun GR starters. next time i'll make sure to specify:fu::lol: Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 top chrome one is Gear Reduction Bottom is new rebuild stock nissan unit. I have a Gear Reduction on my 521 truck the other are stock units. which are fine and alot cheaper(but are Nissan dealer items) Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Canadian Datsuns. 1977-up, including B210. They may have had GR as an option on the '77-up. I've had two '78 that didn't have them and pulled starters from two others and a '79 and '80 L20B that didn't. (could have been changed??) My neighbor had a '74 with GR, so who knows.

gen4maxima536 Posted April 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 so looking at the picture Hainz posted, you can tell the lower one is direct drive, and the upper one has a hump where the gears are. Quote Link to comment
pope_face Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Just out of curiosity, what IS a gear reduction starter? I've never heard of one before... Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 A direct drive starter is one that has the starter motor shaft connected directly to the final drive gear that engages the starter ring on the flywheel. One turn of the starter equals one the of the drive gear. On a gear reduction starter, the motor drives an intermediate gear that is coupled to the final drive gear. This reduces the cranking speed but multiplies the turning torque of the starter to overcome cold weather starts. I have one on my L20B and it makes a distinctive loud CHIRP, CHIRP when starting.
