Not mine.

 

lol i think the owner actually posted once here a few months ago to say its for sale, pretty sure its the same car

all i'm gonna say is if were to have that thing, it would be slammed with a clean body kit so its 3" from the ground, straightpipe exhaust, mad offset rims, RB26DETT swap. ultramuthafuking drift machine

 

lol at the 80s seats...that takes me back to my parents old bonnevilles haha.

This car has awesome project written all over it!

 

still amazed it has the voice reminders in it, that bish was ahead of its time

actually 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gens were all ahead of their time, but when the 4th gens and rest came about, things slowed down

 

Legit car...

Dunno bout the whole sunroof situation tho. lol

 

yeah that epoxy would be a bish to undo, it was probably leaking so they thought fk it and sealed it

i dont like sunroofs though

 

i think i have the only 1st gen without a sunroof... i'm happy lol

 

Stop teasing us! Maximas came standard with sunroofs, even at thier Fall 1980 introduction.

I had asked this question before, but no one knew the answer. For 1981, there were two models released. The '81 810 Maxima, and the '81 810 Deluxe. For 1982, the 810 designation went away and they were all called "Maxima".

The 810 Maxima came standard with EVERYTHING. There were no factory options (though the Datsun dealer had things they would love to add for you). One of those "standard" items on the Maxima was the sunroof. If you wanted a slightly less equiped 810, you bought the 810 Deluxe. The sunroof was not offered on the Deluxe.

I have been looking for a '81 810 Deluxe for a long time. Seems they were very rare. So rare.... I was doubting that any were actually built.

Are you telling us you have an 810 Deluxe and not an 810 Maxima?
Tell us more about your car! Photos are in order!!! What is the VIN?

EDIT: Maybe the sunroof became an option in '82-84? I based my comments above on what I know from research on the '81 model. LeX-What year is your car?

 

actually yeah i remember that thread where noone could figure out the models, would really be interested if this is a Deluxe as well

 

My 84 sedan (parts car) doesn't have a sun roof. It has the overhead map
light inside. And if I'm not mistaken, Gray has an operational 84 without
a sun roof.

 

maybe its 84 only then? Mine is an 84 without a sunroof. Every other car i've seen had one lol

 

My 66k mile, one owner '82 Diesel Sedan is a total slick-top with no sunroof.

Must have been an option.

 

my 82' gas sedan can haz power sunroof. works great too, great for cruising in the hot texas weather..... so I think it was an option........

 

I have come to the conclusion that:
1981: The sunroof was standard equip on the Maxima, but not available on the 810 Deluxe (if they really made an 810 Deluxe)
1982-1984: Sunroof was an option.

 

this is the conclusion that I came up with now too lol. I just didn't post it. mine even came with the allen head wrench to manually open and close it through the little side thing next the sunroof itself. my owners manual goes into GREAT DETAIL of how to manually open and close both automatically and manually lol, it has a WHOLE PAGE for just this.

 

I had 83 with cloth interior with sunroof, top of line maxima was with leather interior, digital guages and two tone paint

 

got an 83 and an 84. both have sunroofs. The 83 also has baby mice and garter snakes. (parts car)
