Here are some more information for Datsun Nissan:

The North American market has seen some bold changes by Nissan over the years. Originally imported under the Datsun name, Nissan cars in Canada and the US made the switch over to the new name in the early 1980s and the company hasn't been the same since. A broader line up and the introduction of the luxurious Infiniti brand in the late 1980s changed the face of Nissan tremendously. The winners are consumers everywhere who can get a great vehicle for a fair price.

It was in 1965 when the first Datsuns arrived in Canada. Who could forget the 1600cc 510 wagon with a 4 speed manual transmission? The only thing that could kill this car was rust and a rust bucket it was at that. Or, how about the 620 pick up? A great little hauler that is in a league of its own. My personal favorite was the 720 pick up truck equipped with a diesel engine. A good, sturdy truck that really sipped fuel.

Today's Nissan line up is a far cry from the cars that dotted the landscape during the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. For consumers that is probably a good thing too. Today's line up still offers glimpses of the original Datsuns with the Sentra reminding some of the old B210, but about ten times more comfortable at that too. The Altima, Maxima, and the revived 350Z round out the car line up and when you add in all the SUVs and trucks that Nissan now sells the Japanese automaker has something for everyone.

Consumers are maintaining their Nissans/Datsuns with premium Nissan parts and accessories. Your dealer will have what you need, but remember the prices you pay for parts through the dealership will be the prevailing retail rate. Some national auto parts chains will have a decent selection, but they may have difficulty hunting down the rare Datsun or early Nissan part for you.

A new choice for consumers is auto parts wholesalers, particularly those who sell online. Prices are usually much lower because wholesalers buy direct from leading manufacturers including Bosch, K&N, Hella, Monroe, Covercraft, and others. Still, make sure that the retailer is based in Canada and not charging you outrageous shipping and duty charges for parts shipped in from the US or elsewhere. The selection they offer to you should be great, parts stocked must meet or exceed OEM requirements, and customer service should be just a click of the mouse and/or a toll free phone number away.

Be careful of retailers specializing in generic Nissan parts as counterfeit auto parts are a big problem in North America. Always learn in advance what the company's shipping, return, and warranty policies are before making your purchase.

Nissan’s Negative & Positive Updates

The Nissan Motor Company, Ltd. is a car maker which is baed in Japan. It used to market its vehicles using the Datsun brand. At present, it is one of the rivals of the United States auto market’s Big Three.

Now, this Nissan tail light manufacturer has got updates that would be of interest for its followers and of interest of people following all developments in the auto industry. Two of the company’s recent updates include one negative and one positive. The negative is a recall while the positive is an honor.

Last Thursday, the company announced that it would be recalling 113,000 units of its minivans. However, these minivans are those that are solely sold in the Japan market. The company also did say that they are doing such because of a problem with the minivan’s exhaust pipes.

The minivan to be recalled is the Nissan Serena and the models that are affected by the recall are those which have been manufactured from April of 2005 up until August of 2006. Details about the recall and the announcement have been posted in the company’s native country’s Transport Ministry web site.

The web site did further inform readers that the Nissan Serena’s parts which have been welded were found out to have the risk of corrosion. And if this does happen, the pipe could fall off. The company also did mention that they have been able to note 46 cases and these were reported to the company already. However, the good side was that there were no accidents related to the exhaust pipe fall-off.

As per the positive piece of news, the Nissan Motor Company has been given accolades for a couple of its vehicles - the Nissan 350Z coupe and the Nissan X-TRAIL. The awards given to the vehicles were part of the Auto Express Used Car Honors.

For three years, the Nissan X-TRAIL has been an awardee in the Best Recreational 4x4 segment. As per the Nissan 350Z, this is the second time that it was awarded the Best in the Coupe segment.

The judges of the mentioned award giving body mentioned about the X-TRAIL, “It sill reigns supreme as the ultimate used SUV by combining decent on-road manners with genuine off-road capabilities.”

As per the Nissan 350Z, the judges were quite enthusiastic to mention, “Looks and performance count for plenty in the coupe category, which explains why the Nissan comes out on top. Few cars at any price handle as well as the 350Z, and the futuristic styling manages to tick all the right boxes, too.”
