Detailed Description

WAI 16805N is a new starter assembly engineered for vehicles originally equipped with Hitachi or Mitsubishi-style starters. It is listed for 1980-1981 Nissan 510, 1980-1983 Nissan 200SX, 1981-1982 Nissan 720, 1983-1986 Nissan 720, 1984-1985 Nissan Pickup, 1986-1987 Nissan D21, and 1988-1989 Nissan D21. This part cross-references BBB Industries 16805 for the same application. The 16805N is a direct-fit replacement for the specified Nissan starter applications where the original unit uses an 8-tooth, clockwise-rotation, flange-mount configuration.

What It Helps Address

  • Slow or weak engine cranking
  • No-start conditions caused by starter failure
  • Intermittent starter engagement
  • Grinding or improper drive engagement from worn starter components
  • Electrical starting issues on listed Nissan D21, 720, 200SX, and 510 applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, model, and starter configuration before installation. Confirm 12-volt system voltage, clockwise rotation, 8-tooth drive count, and flange mounting style against the original unit. Some listed Nissan D21 applications note Mitsubishi DD 8T, 0.8 kW rating, and certain years reference replacement of earlier Mitsubishi or Hitachi units, so matching the original starter specifications is important for proper fitment.

Quality Assurance

WAI states that its starters are built with proprietary components and manufacturing processes to support service life and performance. The 16805N is supplied as a new starter, not a remanufactured unit.
