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

A realistic approach to fixing Mitsubishi

Tue, May 24 2016

There are going to be a lot of words written about what Nissan needs to do with Mitsubishi in the coming months and years in the interest of turning the brand around. After Nissan's purchase of a controlling stake in the diamond star brand, there's been more interest in Mitsubishi thanks to the potential of platform sharing and plenty of cash from Nissan-Renault to get the juices flowing again. But, while some have been doing their best to advocate for the return of the 3000GT, Evolution, and even the Starion - Many of these posts forget the reality of the market we live in today. As much as we like to look back fondly at the sports coupes of the '90s, a byproduct of the insane cash flows all the Japanese manufacturers had at the time, the reality of today puts a much greater emphasis on what is most-boring; Crossover SUVs, alongside mid-size and compact sedans. We do need to ask a fundamental question, how much Mitsubishi is enough to be able to continue to call the cars Mitsubishis? Aside from slight product revisions and reconfigurations, Mitsubishi (at least in North America) has been largely dependent on the same GS platform and 4B1 engines that date back to their long-time partnership with Chrysler (and Hyundai) in the mid '00s. Admittedly, the chassis and engines have served the company well, underpinning a wide variety of vehicles sold around the world, and seeing quite a few revisions to at least attempt to keep products competitive. But, the GS chassis is old, heavy, and severely out of date - and when matched to the underpowered 4B1 series engines - make for largely uncompetitive offerings in the market. While something like the Outlander Sport is indeed interesting compared to a Honda CR-V, it is by no means the smart choice in the segment. So, going forward, unless Mitsubishi has had a skunkworks of sorts developing their chassis and engine replacements over the past few years, what exactly are they planning to do for their bread-and-butter models? I think the straightforward answer is without a doubt the Nissan North America parts bin. With so many of their models selling well, and for the most part, are reasonably well-reviewed, it would be quite simple to adapt the chassis and powertrain to Mitsubishi's liking to create a high-volume alternative to what is currently available now.

2013 Nissan Pathfinder: February 2013

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

I took the keys to our long-term 2013 Nissan Pathfinder from Editor-in-Chief Neff (who left me with an empty gas tank, for the record) directly following the Detroit Auto Show. That means that, by the time you all read this, I'll have been in possession of the Pathfinder for more time, and driven it more miles than any Autoblogger so far. I'd like to think that I've made good use of it... with one small exception.
For those of you that live outside of the Snow Belt and who may routinely ignore the Weather Channel out of cocky certainty - I'm looking at you, American Southwest - there's been some real weather in our part of the world this winter. A year ago, I'd basically packed up my shovel and my driveway salt by Valentine's Day; while the last quarter of 2012 and beginning of 2013 have seen back-wrenching piles of snow fall on and around my Michigan home. Good times, in other words, to test the all-weather capabilities of our all-wheel-drive Pathfinder.

What happens to Renault-Nissan after Ghosn is gone?

Tue, Dec 30 2014

Carlos Ghosn is a very, very busy man. Like, really busy. As in, he heads up three automakers (and their subsidiaries), running facilities in 68 countries and selling vehicles in 170 different markets across the globe. He flies over 300,000 miles per year and works 15 to 16 hours a day, just to manage an alliance between the Japanese and French that's responsible for an expected $140 billion in sales this year alone. The Chairman and CEO of the Renault-Nissan Alliance, Ghosn has managed a number of remarkable feats during his time at both automakers, but there are some that are questioning how much longer the 60-year-old exec can handle the punishing nature of his responsibilities. According to Fortune, six months ago Ghosn signed a four-year contract to continue running Renault, while his tenure at Nissan will continue until at least 2017. Beyond that, though, the future is rather murky, and it's made worse by the high-level turnover that Renault-Nissan has experienced over the past few years, losing execs like Carlos Tavares, Johan de Nysschen and Andy Palmer. Fortune has an excellent, and lengthy, feature on Ghosn, his responsibilities and the danger posed to Renault-Nissan by his departure. If you're at all curious about what the exec has done for the two automakers, how this alliance has worked when so many other industry partnerships have failed and just what a post-Ghosn future may hold, head over and have a look.
