The 1980 model featured the L20B engine which essentially was a carryover from the 620 model trucks that preceded the 720. It was a single overhead cam engine displacing 2 liters. The 1981-1986 models had the Z series carbureted engine which featured a single overhead cam operating adjustable rockers, cross flow head and dual spark plugs for each cylinder. 1981-1983 models had 2.2 liters of displacement designated Z22 while 1984-1986 had 2.4 liter engines designated Z24. 1984-1986 models had computer controlled carburetors with an oxygen sensor in the exhaust manifold.

Horsepower/Torque Specs:

Engine |  HP @ RPM  | Ft-lbs @ RPM
-------+------------+-------------
L20B   |  97 @ 5600 | 102@3200
       |            |
Z22    |  98 @ 4000 | 117@1800
       |            |
Z24    | 103 @ 4800 | 134@2800

The transmission on the 720 drives a divorced transfer case (that is, transfer case is separate from transmission). Later model Hardbodies and Pathfinders have a transfer case that is "married" (attached) to the transmission. The transmission shaft enters the transfer case at the top while front and rear drive shafts exit from the bottom. The transfer case is protected by a good sized rock shield and the selector lever is located between the driver and passenger seats.

June 1983 and earlier trucks use a H190 rear end (190mm) which is the same as used on the previous 620 trucks. July 1983 and later trucks (including 4cylinder Hard bodies to 1992) use a C200 rear end (200mm). This is incompatible with Pathfinder and V6 Hardbodies which use the H233B (233mm) rear end and the Patrol which uses another completely different rear end. All 720s use a R180 front differential (180mm).

Both automatic and manual locking hubs were offered from the factory on the 720. The auto locking hubs are of the variety that you must stop the truck to engage the hubs and back up 3 meters to disengage. With the hubs engaged, 4H can be engaged at speeds up to 50mph.

 

The Datsun/Nissan 720 pickup was Nissan's first foray into the 4 wheel drive mini-pickup market. It was introduced as a 1980 model and continued until 1986 when the current Hardbody style (model D-21) was introduced as a 1986.5 model. Prior models of Datsun/Nissan mini-pickups were the 521 and 620 which did not offer a 4 wheel drive option. The 720 features an independent front suspension with torsion bar springs, a leaf spring live axle rear suspension and a 4 cylinder engine displacing 2.0 litres at introduction later enlarged to 2.4 litres. Longbed and extra-cab models were also available.

Nissans have a reputation for having aftermarket parts that are expensive and hard to find. However, there are still quite a few significant aftermarket modifications you can make to your truck. Also, with a cutting torch and welder, anything is possible. Some wilder modifications I've seen were a 720 body over a shortened Chevy frame and drivetrain and another one with a solid front axle conversion.

Much of this document is centered towards the 4wd variant of the Nissan 720 pickup

Mitsubishi cheated on Japanese fuel economy test since 1991

Tue, Apr 26 2016

Mitsubishi now says that its cheating on Japanese fuel economy tests stretches as far back as 1991. The automaker has hired an independent panel of investigators to get to the bottom of what happened, and the company will give them three months to prepare a report about the deception. Mitsubishi's cheat involves how the company calculated driving resistance to determine fuel economy. In 1991, Japan's Road Transport Vehicle Act established a coasting test to establish the driving resistance, but Mitsubishi's engineers used their own "high-speed coasting test," according to its statement. In 2007, the company decided to only use the country's mandated evaluation, but the employees kept utilizing the high-speed test in the field. In the most recent scandal, workers selected low values for driving resistance from the results, which made the fuel economy look better. Mitsubishi's presented these details in a report to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism. "We are currently investigating the reasoning behind each of the decisions," the company said in a statement. It also hired three former prosecutors to figure out why this happened for so long. At this time, Mitsubishi only confirms the incorrect figures for some of the company's minicars, but this investigation could discover more transgressions. This fiasco started when Nissan discovered fuel economy discrepancies in some of its Mitsubishi-made tiny kei-class cars in Japan. Mitsubishi came clean and admitted the problem affected about 625,000 vehicles in the country. Japanese media have alleged more vehicles have incorrect mileage, including the Outlander. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the US has also requested data from the Japanese automaker to confirm similar deceptions didn't happen for vehicles here.

2014 Nissan Leaf named overall cleanest car in US

Thu, Feb 20 2014

A research firm has named the zero-emission 2014 Nissan Leaf the cleanest production vehicle in the US, and that's figuring in the full, wheel-to-well lifetime impact of the car on the environment. The Automotive Science Group (ASG) studied more than 1,300 automobiles with at least four seats across nine categories, measuring everything from the amount of fuel needed to run the car during its lifetime to the extraction of natural resources to build the thing in the first place to end-of-life processing. ASG calls the process "wildly complex." The battery-electric Leaf, with its 84-mile single-charge range, took top honors overall, but there were other highly ranked vehicles in different categories. ASG also said that the Mitsubishi Mirage, with its sub-2,000-pound curb weight and 40 miles per gallon fuel economy, was the cleanest among gas-powered vehicles, while the Chevrolet Spark had the lowest cast of ownership over five years. Last month, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) put together its annual "Greenest" and "Meanest" (notice: we didn't say "Cleanest") lists and put the Leaf at number three. Topping that list was the Smart ForTwo ED battery-electric, but that was followed up by the Toyota Prius C compact hybrid, so fans of those vehicles can now start a healthy debate. The ACEEE uses data from the Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board to compile its list. We have ASG's press release below. Life-cycle Assessment of 1,300 Models Reveals Best of 2014 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 4 February 2014 [Santa Rosa, CA] – The Automotive Science Group (ASG) conducted a comprehensive life-cycle assessment of over 1,300 automobiles across nine categories to distinguish the BEST model year 2014 vehicles in environmental, economic, social and "all-around" performance. Auto consumers are now equipped with a car buying guide founded on principled facts, a departure from the notoriously subjective test drive "editor reviews" that have long been the industry norm. Using a unique combination of vehicle data inputs that include conventional specifications as well as ground-breaking social, environmental and economic performance indicators, ASG's back-end algorithms are wildly complex, but the front-end results – meaningful vehicle ratings and distinguished awards – are forthright and consumer-friendly. ASG's Automotive Performance Index is for automotive consumers what Google is for web users.

Nissan Leaf Nismo RC Concept [w/video]

Fri, 20 Sep 2013

Nissan took the wraps off its Leaf Nismo RC Concept at the New York Auto Show more than two years ago. As inferred, the vehicle shares many of its pure-EV components with the production Leaf currently sitting in your dealer's showroom. But don't assume the concept is a placid, family friendly, four-place, front-wheel-drive plug-in for grabbing groceries - the RC (as in "Racing Challenge") is a purpose-built, two-seat, rear-wheel-drive prototype race car tuned for the short track.
The RC Concept is fitted with an 80-kW AC synchronous motor driving the rear wheels and drawing power from a 48-module lithium-ion battery. While the motor and battery are nearly identical to the consumer-friendly Leaf, a sleek full carbon-fiber monocoque body shell and a slew of other enhancements mean the RC is 40-percent lighter, a foot shorter in overall height and nearly seven inches wider than its commuter namesake. Nissan says the RC Concept will hit 62 miles per hour in about 6.8 seconds, top out at 93 mph and run for about 20 minutes under race conditions (it will accept an 80-percent charge in 30 minutes with a quick-charger). Understandably, if a zero-emissions motorsport series comes to fruition, the races would be short and nearly silent.
We caught up with the Leaf Nismo RC concept in Southern California, where we were offered the opportunity to zip it around a tight autocross at the former Marine Corps Air Station, El Toro.
