Datsun 1200 came with a variety of stylish exterior mirrors and a simple, classic interior rear-view mirror.

Contents

Overview

Datsun 1200 came with different mirrors for different markets. Differences are mainly:

  • left-hand-drive vs right-hand-drive models
  • fender-mounted for Japanese market vs door-mounted for other markets
  • Trim: STD vs DX/GL vs GX

The coupe, sedan and van used the same mirrors.

Japan Market

In Japan, mirrors are mounted on the top edge of the front fenders. It seems they always use two, on both R.H. and L.H. fenders.

Glossary: Fender = Guard = Wing

When fitting fender-mounted mirrors to non-JDM vehicles, use the factory drilling template.

STD

Standard Trim 1200s were fitted with round wing mirrors. The Van Semi-DX also used these the first year.

DX/GL

DX and GL used trapezoidal (angled rectangles) mirrors. Optional for all Coupe and Sedan was the GX-style bullet mirrors. Van Semi-DX after the facelift used this.
19958.jpgAlbum 19958 000-00-01a.jpg

Deluxe and GL Body Styles used a rectangular wing-mounted mirror. It was finished in chrome. It differs from non-JDM mirrors in that it had a different stalk for mounting to the top of the fender, and has a trapezoidal shape.

GX

GX models had round guard-mounted "bullet-style" mirrors. These were also optional on Deluxe and GL models. Optional for all Coupe and Sedan was the GX-style bullet mirrors.

The mirrors on these GX models were dark gray with a chrome-like ring

Other Markets

Most markets outside of Japan used a door-mounted mirror. These are strictly rectangular (not trapezoidal like JDM mirrors). These came in silver-gray or darker-gray matte finishe, or in chrome. Apparently the color changed over the years (production variance).

North America

LHD mirrors were mounted close to the front edge of the door (farther forward than RHD mirrors):

5501.jpgAlbum 5501

In the North American market, only left-side mirror was offered. But a right-side mirror could be ordered through Nissan. The North American parts catalog lists only one part number, but it is known that the color varied over the years.

Australia

Australian mirrors were dealer installed at the time of 'pre delivery' & can be found in various positions from the rear edge of the flipper window up to the front edge of the door.

Early mirrors (H19) and late mirrors (H95 late 1200 & B310) differ. Supposedly the bolt pattern differs slightly and the early mirrors are shorter.

Does the AU parts catalog list left-side mirror or only the right-side one?

Reply. .............My Australian parts book lists only one external mirror for Australian Datsun 1200 Four Door Sedans, Coupes & Vans [Four Door Wagons] Part Number 96310 - H1900. & this is listed as being used from 10/71. No left side mirror is shown for the 1200 passenger models & it is not clear what was used up to 09/71, if anything.

Datsun 1200 Utes [B120] up to 1981 are shown on my microfiche as using the same right side door mirror from 10/71 [96301-H1900] with another one, [96301-H9500] also being listed as being used in Australia & interchangeable with the former, but not listed as superceding it as no start date for its use is shown.

A left side mirror, Parts Number 96302 - G1271 is shown for Australian use from 11/80

Two other mirrors are listed with odd details, being 96301-H5950 [right] & interchangeable with the second 1200 car mirror [96301-H5900] This mirror, 96301-H5950 is shown as being applicable to, ... "AST, OPT [exc. AST]"

The left side mirror is 96302-H5950 & is shown with an introduction date of 04/79 but is not listed as being interchangeable with other left side mirrors. This too is shown as being for "AST, OPT [exc. AST]"

RHD Gray-finish mirror
8828.jpgAlbum 8828

Was chrome a stock finish in Australia? All the pics of chrome mirrors look like they are not as tall as non-chrome, so they may be 1600 mirrors.

Reply. .............The mirrors on Australian B110 & B210 models appear to be the same as each other & were gray. The Mirrors used on most Australian B310 models look to be the same as these earlier ones, but were chrome finished. A left side mirror was required by law for Wagons & other commercial types [Vans & Utes] in some of the B310 production years, so the B310 Sportswagon was fitted with a matched pair of chrome mirrors that seem to be 1200 clones.

In Australia, you see a lot of Datsun 1200s with JDM-style mirrors. This is an older mirror, similar to B110 STD trim (round) mirror:
