Speedometer (スピード メーター), Tachometer, Clock, etc. for Datsun B210 Sunny.





Overview

Most B210 models used a square-gauge dash, which were considered "modern" at the time.

Post 498290


High-line models — in Japan and South Africa — used sporty round gauges

JDM GL Sedan:

High-line round-gauge dash (GX Sedan and all JDM Coupes):

Album 11371 Post 498276

GX featured 180km speedometer, while all others used 160km unit.


The Round gauge cluster was quite similar to the B110 Cluster Gauge, except fitted with sloping glass lenses for anti-glare characteristics.


Lesser B210s used rectangular gauges (kaku meters, literally angle meters)

For late JDM B210, the OIL and Volts could be moved to the Console, and then Calendar and Altimeter fitted to the dash.

Because of the curved B210 dashboard design, RHD and LHD clocks angled differently.

RHD vs LHD

For rectangle gauge dash, the large meters (clock, tachometer and speedometer) differ RHD vs LHD. They are almost the same but mount at slight angles, so the cases differ. Discussion: 120y b210 factory tacho meter (US LHD model)


The small gauges (e.g. small clock) are same RHD and LHD.
