Revision as of 08:13, 3 September 2007
Nissan chassis model B210 was the third-generation Sunny. They were sold during Model years 1974-1978 and marketed in various countries as the Datsun B-210 or Datsun Sunny. In some countries it was designated Datsun 120Y or Datsun 140Y, depending on the engine fitted.
It is common to confuse the "Datsun 210" with the "Datsun B-210", but they are different generations altogether, sold during different years.
For more details and how the Sunny family was developed, see History of Datsun 1200.
Overview
The B210 was the third-generation Sunny, replacing the B110. The theme for the B210 re-design included:
- improvement "to be more likeable and satisfactory to a greater number of people".
- conforming to anti-pollution regulations
- requirements of FMVSS
- Exterior design: style of "Streamline and a Cut" with "Young and Dynamic" image -- instead of the "rational" styling of the B110. "Sharp and Soft" atmosphere, "Long-nosed proportion" (long wheelbase?), and "Streamed and Dynamic" style.
- Interior design: "Oval Scoop Cockpit"
- Increased driver roominess. Front compartment larger, rear compartment smaller
- Quieter operation (reduced NVH)
Others have simply called in "coke-bottle" styling -- dynamic with a pinched waist.
The side panel is finished by plum faces and sharp folds all over, and the stream of the fold and roof drip like an ebbing wave keeps sharpness in the free and easy touch.
reference: Service Bulletin Vol. 188 "Introduction of New Datsun B210 Series", Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan, 1973.
USA
For the 1974 Model year only the high-grade A13 engine was offered (model HLB210).
Serial Numbers: 1974 MY
- HLB210 000001 to ~400000
- HLB210 400000 to ~999999
One of the most obvious changes from the B110 -- other than the all-new sheet metal -- is the large 5-mph "park bench" safety bumpers of the type fitted to all 1974 USA autos.
Also causing some consternation was an incredibly complicated starter interlock. A seven-input (!) transistor "brain box" prevented the engine from being started if the driver's seat was occupied but the belt unfastened.
Seat belts for 1974 were 3-point, but unlike B110 the shoulder belt is semi-permanently fastened to the seat buckle (no need for a zip tie). Also the inboard belts have a round flexible-wire design so they don't fall down around the seats when not in use. This is a good swap for the B110 belts.
1974 Emissions
- EGR added
- Air compensator now standard
A13 Engine for USA market: see wikipedia:Nissan A engine.
- New 1974 A engine redesign common to all A-engines
- Tall-block engine (like A14) 30 mm higher than previous A12
- 77 mm stroke, up from 70 in A12 engine. Bore same as before
Donor Parts
