Atsugi Fj20

[masTers]

Hey ive recently pulled my FJ20 out of my new DR30 and on the cashing near the balancer is "ATSUGI" stamped into it. Now im 100% sure my the FJ in my last DR30 didnt have this marking, can anyone shed some light on it? I know Nissan has a technical centre in ATSUGI, Japan.

From memory Atsugi is a contractor in Japan that made various OEM parts for Japanese manufacturers .

You'll probably find that different era FJ20's - and other Jap engines - have used Atsugi parts at one time and another suppliers component at another .

A good example is engine electricals , some used Mitsubishi alternators/CAS and others used Hitachi or some other .

Look at brake master cylinders , some Nabco others Tokico .

Nothing to worry about if it is an all original engine .

as said atsugi did alot of the alloy casting on early nissans. my 1st bluebird was a 1 owner hand me down and had atsugi water pump, clutch hub and mec fuel pump.

my dr30 has it somewhere aswell
