Excellent 1400

B210-based Datsun Sunny 1400 Excellent (PB210) used a deep-vee, twin-nostril grille. This grille was also used by 140Y and 160Y including the 140Z & 160Z coupes.

Note the "S" emblem (for Sunny) on the grille

GX models were equipped with foglights integrated into the front grill.

140Y South Africa (no fog lamps, just blanking plates)

Excellent 1600

The 1976-1977 Excellent 1600 (GB211) replaced the earlier Excellent 1400 in the Japan home market. The 1600 featured a more luxury-looking grille instead of the sporty-looking grille of the 1400.

GB211
* Single center-section (no twin-nostril look)
* no horizontal bar
* GX comes with fog lamps

[edit]

USA

As usual, USA models used different grilles, partly due to FMVSS safety regulations. Canada models were the same.

5-mph bumper safety changed the front apron, and did not allow use of the standard front combination lights. So the parking and signal lights were moved to the Grille.
Nissan Motor Co. in U.S.A. standardized on a single grille for all B210 -- coupes and sedans used the same grille.

NA 1974-1976 Model year (to July 1976) 
NA 1977-1978 Model year (from August 1976)

[edit]

Early North America

1974-1975 north american sedans and coupes used the worldwide #Early Coupe grille. The fish-gill type #Early Sedan grille was not used.

Post 491917

Same as JDM Coupe grille (non-GX)
62302-H5500 USA GRILLE KIT-radiator Coupe & Sedan
#Fog-lamp position was used for amber combination lamp (turn signal + parking lights). This was necessitated because the under-the-bumper lamps couldn't be used due to the 5mph bumpers

Post 491917

USA used amber Turn Signal lamps in place of the JDM fog lamps (non-USA has the Turn Signal/Markers/Indicators in the bumper)

Late North America

Late North America B210s used the #late sedan grille for all coupes, as can be seen on this Canadian Coupe:
