Speedometer (スピードメーター), Tachometer, Clock, etc. for Datsun B210 Sunny.

[edit]

Overview

Most B210 models used a square-gauge dash, which was considered "modern" at the time.

JDM GL Sedan:

High-line round-gauge dash (GX Sedan and all JDM Coupes):
Album 11371 Post 498276
GX featured 180km speedometer, while all others used 160km unit.

The Round gauge cluster was quite similar to the B110 Cluster Gauge, except fitted with sloping glass lenses for anti-glare characteristics.

Lesser B210s used rectangular gauges (kaku meters, literally angle meters)

Common gauge set was rectangular (Sedan STD, Sedan DX and Sedan GL and all Van). Most export countries also used rectangle meters — even on GX models.

Auxiliary Meters

Square Gauges: Three large, plus one small next to radio
Round Gauges:  Three large, plus three small over radio

OPTION: small gauges could be fitted to the console.

Small Round

B210 Round Cluster was flanked by three small gauges (Clock, AMP, OILP) above the radio. Clock was standard on GX, optional for the others. Voltmeter replaced the AMP gauge for B211 (after 1975 October).

early: Clock |  AMP  | OILP
late:  Clock | Volts | OILP

Post 498283

For early B210, the GL grade came with OIL.P and AMP moved to the console

For late JDM B210, the OIL and Volts could be moved to the Console, and then Calendar and Altimeter fitted to the dash.

[edit]

Small Square

B210 rectangle dash had space for one small gauge (Clock or Calender). If no options were fitted, an 'S' or 'D' blanking plate was attached.

Because of the curved B210 dashboard design, RHD and LHD clocks angled differently.

Main: B210 Tachometer

[edit]

RHD vs LHD

For rectangle gauge dash, the large meters (clock, tachometer and speedometer) differ RHD vs LHD. They are almost the same but mount at slight angles, so the cases differ. Discussion: 120y b210 factory tacho meter (US LHD model)

The small gauges (e.g. small clock) are same RHD and LHD.
