Pe auto = A NEW NAME, but 19 years of experience have gone into the Nissan line of compact trucks. Pictured above, the tough little four by four is an example of the durability and reliability of the more familair Datsun name. THE TINY CARRIERS New name for an old reliable truck ALMOST SINCE their in- troduction 19 years ago, compact trucks bearing the Datsun nameplate have been Canada’s top selling import pickup. And now, Nissan, maker and marketer of two-wheel and four-wheel drive com- pact trucks, is introducing its new 1984 truck line. Like Sentra, Pulsar and Stanza lines of passenger cars, the new pickups and 4x4's will bear the Nissan nameplate. Nissan truck cabs are roomier, with 3-abreast seating in the two-wheel drive regular and long bed body styles. And don't forget the King Cab 2+2. Whatever the body style, Nissan offers room = and passenger comfort. Nissan trucks ~— _ = two- wheel drive (gas, or diesel option), and four-by-fours, are more powerful than ever before. The 2.4-litre overhead cam Z24S gasoline engine gcts off the mark faster and hauls a big load with more case than ever Ce ale ata tl alata aa ad lithe aad Salat al at a ae eeerere er eeeg tenet eee te relat at et ete teeter rele al etele ete eee DRIVE IN SERVICE Justott Pemberton drive around back Mon fr. 8 O00 § 30 Sar OO 3 36 NOR EST RADIATORS 1175 West 14th St NV 064-0374 Over 30 years on the North Shore before. The optional 2.5- litre diesel is Canada’s largest and most powerful diesel available in a compact pickup. Rugged? Nissan four-by- fours are built to tackle the toughest terrain. Instead of tension rods on the front suspension, Nissan uses tor- sion rods, on a wider track and with bigger tires than Datsun pickups have ever had. Potentially vulnerable undercarriage components are shielded by steel plating. And to change from free wheeling two-wheel drive in- to four-by-four, you don't have to get out of a Nissan truck to change hub settings - stay warm and dry in the cab, and simply shift the lever. Most of the tough com- ponents built into the Nissan four-by-four are also tucked underneath the ladder lattice frame of Nissan two-wheel drive units. Nissan trucks have always been built tough.

Nissan's Z24S_ gasoline engine for 1984 is 2,388cc, bigger, more powerful and quicker than the 2,187cc version of previous years. And the sturdy 2,164cc op- tional diesel is replaced by an all new SD 25 OHV. How does that stack up against the competition? Well, only one other compact in the compact truck market (domestic) offers a larger standard gasoline engine. The 2.4-litre gas engine, coupled to a_ five-speed manual transmission is stan- dard equipment. Automatic is available on two-wheel drive pickups, with a lock-up torque converter to further improve fuel efficiency. Power steering and a tilt steering wheel are also op- tional on certain models. Nissan compact trucks for 1984 have a wider track, wider rear wheel well clearance and wider front end clearance for improved rough ground stability Autoguide We'll give your car the professional attention it deserves SP ata et amt tet bet tO he RADIATOR REPAIRS ’ For fast professional repairs and service of your cooling system and/or air con ? dittoner come direct to the specialists The Brake Doctor vue OWNERS rs from $39.95 We renar all mahes & model brakes from $59 95 ; e repalr all makes & models . .
