The ventilation system of Datsun 1200 allows for fresh air even with all windows rolled up.

• Coupe: air flows out through the side chrome grilles
• Sedan: air flows out through the slots in the C-pillar

Usage

Also see: Heater

No-heater models

Ventilation for models originally equipped with No Heater.

Ventilation Flow

• Inlet: In the Datsun 1200 passenger compartment ventilation system, air is drawn from:
  1. the air intake on the cowl top, and
  2. ventilator (quarter window) on the front door.
• Outlet: This air is exhausted from the slip shape air outlets on the rear pillar. Thus, the body is ventilated sufficiently -- even with all the windows rolled up.
  • Coupe air outlets (not shown) are under the two chrome side vents.

• The baffle causes water to run past the cabin air intake.
• Carefully tighten the ABS plastic grille, not very tight, so that you do not crack the plastic.

Coupe

Coupe side vents cover the cabin airflow openings just aft of the doors. This allows positive ventilation of the passenger compartments, and the air exits at the vents.
