A 1977 Datsun 140J is also sold as the Datsun 160J in the UK, the Nissan Violet in Japan, the Datsun 710 in the USA. The Datsun 160J is the same car under a different badge, so parts generally interchange.

Question 2

Do Datsun 160J parts fit a Datsun 140J?

Accepted Answer

For a market twin like the Datsun 160J, parts interchange in most cases because it is the same vehicle with different badging. Mechanical and service parts are the safest; lighting, bumpers and trim can differ between markets, and right-hand-drive versus left-hand-drive affects steering, mirrors and dashboards. Always check the part number against your own car before buying.
