Pacific coast Datsun Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Thats a Hardbody space saver spare. I had one on my HB when i 1st got it. Does the sidewall say maz speed 60 mph? Quote Link to comment
dat521gatherer Posted September 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 thanks pac, i'll check on the max 60. it looks like it should have been from the 60's the style i mean and not having any punched holes for saving weight like they do these days. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 If you can find 3 more of them it may not be a bad look for your 320. Seeing as top speed goin down hill w/ a tailwind is 60 mph :lol: Maybe try & find a center cap to cover the lugs. Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 I think "Convenience Spare" on the sidewall gave it away :P Quote Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 I have one of those, though not sure it's a Nissan one. Found it on the side of the road (but looks new). You can have it if you want it, Gatherer. (Why the hell would a HB need a space saver spare? The spare goes under the bed!) Quote Link to comment
SickDrift Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 My 86 B2000 had a space saver as well.... Quote Link to comment
dat620 Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 the holes are punched out for cooling effect, they help produce wind to cool the brakes, plus also lightening the wheel..:) Quote Link to comment
LAYEDOUTB2K Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 the L320s has a small spare in the back. it could be what it came from Quote Link to comment
dat521gatherer Posted September 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 i was hoping it was for a 320 but someone said it wasn't. i was wanting someone to look in their 320 owners manual to see if there was a pic of one. Quote Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Trust me, that's not a pre-1985 wheel. My L320 came with a full size bias ply tube tire spare on a wheel identical to the originals (the only original 320 wheel I have) and pretty much the same as wheels up to 1975. It's a Nissan pickup or Pathfinder compact spare from the late 80s or 1990s. Quote Link to comment
dat521gatherer Posted September 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 sounds right but doesn't look right. i'll take your word for it. i just wanted it to be vintage. wishful thinking. good to know though. Quote Link to comment
