Hi Terry. A bit of forensic work to
do?
I can support you that for sure its not a
1600SSS.
Looking at the cluster it does have strong design
similarities to Dattos of the 70's and very early '80s. The simple
screw fixing of the cluster to the dash metal work, and the curved clear
perspex cover screwed over the instruments is typical of that era of Datsun
design.
(A tip. You can create
new perspex covers if yours is badly scratched. Using flat
3mm perspex from a glazier, curve to shape using the old one as a
template, use a heat gun to warm it for shaping. Drill the holes to
screw it on to the cluster and your instruments will look like new again.
Be careful when drilling the holes as they are often angular and it's trickey to
get them in the right places.)
Back to forensics.
The tacho redline
seems to start at 6000? suggesting its a 6 cyl. engine. The 240KPH calibrated speedo dial also indicates its from
a 240K or similar six, definately not a four cylinder model, and its later than
1972, when all cars sold in Aust went to metric calibrations, that again
rules out 1600's.
240 K's and Zeds had three smaller instruments to
the left of the two big ones, so this makes me guess its could be
a '78 - '82 Skyline?
