Here's a Nissan Datsun brochure cover as proof.![[Image: $%28KGrHqUOKnIE535F%28Y2dBOjIHUc%28yg~~60_35.JPG]](http://i.ebayimg.com/t/1981-Nissan-Datsun-1600-2000-2300-Pickup-Truck-Brochure-Japanese-/00/s/OTI0WDYzOA==/$%28KGrHqUOKnIE535F%28Y2dBOjIHUc%28yg~~60_35.JPG "http://i.ebayimg.com/t/1981-Nissan-Datsun-1600-2000-2300-Pickup-Truck-Brochure-Japanese-/00/s/OTI0WDYzOA==/$%28KGrHqUOKnIE535F%28Y2dBOjIHUc%28yg~~60_35.JPG") -- Last edit: 2012-11-09 18:34:53 |

Nissan and Datsun "multi-branded?" for many years in many markets, but one always took precedence over the other at any given time. i doubt that using both is necessary/correct. either way, the model would be a number (one of those listed on that manual cover most likely)... and then "crew cab" or the JDM equivalent would fit nicely in the extra information block. local japanese input..? -- Last edit: 2012-11-12 14:00:04 |

In Europe it was 'Datsun-Nissan' around 1984/1985. But this car is newer.. In some African markets (South Africa) Nissan used the name 'Datsun' as a model name for their pick-up trucks even as late as in early 2000's. Maybe this is a similar case.. |

Here is an example of Nissan/Datsun multi-branding. The tailgate inscription says Datsun 280C, the front badge says Datsun, the keyring says Datsun, the mudflaps say Datsun and the rear fenders say Datsun. Yet there is a small badge (like the small writing on certain contracts) on the right that says Nissan. It's as if they silently approached the new name gradually by first putting a small badge, and once people got used to it, they removed the Datsun badges. This change from Datsun to Nissan has never made any sense to me. In Norway we also had the predecessor to Mitsubishi, the Colt. It was branded and marketed as a Colt, yet had a small Mitsubishi inscription on the boot. Once they removed the Colt badges by 1980 or 1981, the name of the make was changed into Mitsubishi. I suggest such cars can be listed as Datsun 280C by Nissan and Colt Galant Sigma by Mitsubishi, with the "by x-part" in extra info. In this case it might be listed as Datsun by Nissan, as the brochure shows the Datsun name in a bigger font than Nissan. And Nissan by Datsun makes no sense anyway. That's my suggestion, otherwise I'm fine with the current solution. |

Wikipedia says that the D21 was badged in Japan as the "Nissan Datsun", suggesting that Datsun should be treated as the model name. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Hardbody_Truck |

I had this exact 4x4 it was stamped both Nissan and Datsun on the 4x4. in the book it was referred as a Nissan Datsun Navara D21 1985 but google calls it a Nissan Datsun Truck. Mine was built in Japan but was sent to Australia. |
