wildmaninid Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Nah, 720's just had the distinction of being the last Datsun built, doesen't mean they are better! ;) j/k........I guess we will still get to see you over on 620 Elmer, Since you have both!! HAH Bill Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 This is debatable. The Datsun name changed to Nissan in '82-ish with full change in '83? The last Nissan to be badged with the Datsun name has to be the Maxima. I had access to and stripped one. It was an '84 'goon and had DATSUN on one side of the back and NISSAN on the other.The badges are on the bottom of this post in the signature. The 720 would have been the last Datsun truck.

This is an 84.....manufactured in 83....not sure of the exact date. It's the only 84 (that I've had) that has the Datsun 'emblem' on it. Same year of truck....less one sticker on the gate.

wildmaninid Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Yeah Mike, I was talking truck, not all datsun.......I have had as far as 720's go: (this is on the tailgate) 1980 w/ Datsun, 1981 Datsun and in the corner by Nissan, 1983 Nissan and in the corner by Datsun, and plain 1984 Nissan. Brand identity at its finest. I seriously think Nissan should jump back on the retro bandwagon and bring back either the datsun line, or a retro truck with homage to the bullet door called the 620!! Yay for my bright ideas, now if only I spoke japanese i might go over there and lobby that...... Bill Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 No, no no! The 720 was NOT the last truck optioned under the Datsun nameplate. The D21 hardbody was sold as the Datsun 4x4 in Japan (or China, can't tell what those characters are ) in 93, hence why my hardbody is still a Datsun! Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 My front emblem looks better I think. I still need to take the Nissan entirely off the tailgate and patch in the "Datsun" I cut out of a 720. Quote Link to comment
wildmaninid Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 God cutting datsun off of good tailgate..........wtf did you work at spaldings or something?? HA! Quote Link to comment

Nah, 720's just had the distinction of being the last Datsun built, doesen't mean they are better! ;) j/k........I guess we will still get to see you over on 620 Elmer, Since you have both!!

FTMFW!!!............... wait, Kelly, you meant breasts right? dont think I would want square breasts.... :blink: Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 This is a 1984, I forget the month it was made. I put a SD22 diesel in it, then sold it because I have to many datsuns, I have six at this moment. Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 I see your 1993 and raise you a 2007 Datsun ;) Quote Link to comment
Javin Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 I see your 1993 and raise you a 2007 Datsun ;) WTF is that? I like that.... EDIT Nevermind. Never shipped to us :( Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 WTF is that? I like that.... X-Trail we rented in Costa Rica in 2007. AWD (primarily FWD), QR25DE (or maybe QR20DE, but I think it was 2.5), 5sp. It was decent, although the trans liked to pop out of 5th all the time. That, and the rental company bolted on a skid plate without any lock washers or proper torquing, considering it fell off in the middle of the highway :rofl: Got to use the AWD a couple times climbing up wet and slippery backwoods roads...good times Quote Link to comment
sinner720st Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 720 would be better without a doubt if they had bullet sides.... hmmmm, some custom sheet metal and a welder, not impossible Quote Link to comment
