ZAMYAD Z24 Pickup
The Nissan Junior was a series of medium-sized Pickup trucks built from 1956 until 1982. It was introduced to fill the gap between the light Datsuns and heavier Nissans such as the 80-series trucks. While the smaller Datsun Truck always outsold the Toyota Hilux, the larger Junior always played second fiddle to the Toyota Stout. This may have been due to the decision to market it under the unfamiliar Nissan name, as well as "Junior" not being a very suitable name for a large, strong truck. The last iteration of the Junior remains in production in Iran, where it is built by the Zamyad company.
Third generation
140/141 series (1970–1982)
The 140 series Junior, which integrated the Junior and Miler lines, was introduced in October 1970. While considerably more modern than the 41-series, sales were unsatisfactory and Nissan soon cancelled exports outside of Asia. For sale in the Prince dealerships, this car was also called Nissan Miler. This generation of the Junior had three motors: the familiar two-litre petrol version (H20) with 99 PS (73 kW), a 1.6-litre petrol version, and a 60 PS (44 kW) diesel (SD22). All are four-cylinders with two valves per cylinder. The smallest model (chassis code N140) was rated for 1.5 t (3,300 lb), while the two-litre 140-series models came either as a 1.75 or 2.0 t (3,850 or 4,400 lb) model.
In 1974, an improved model, the 141, conforming to 1975 exhaust emission regulations, was launched. The 1.6 was discontinued and the H20 now had 92 PS (68 kW).
Sales in this segment slowed considerably as the eighties approached, and in 1982 the Junior was cancelled without a successor.
In 1970 The 140 series Junior has been produced under license in Iran by Zamyad Co. in Tehran, Iran. They only produced 2.0 liter models. In 1986 production line moved to SAIPA Co with using Z24 Nissan engines from Nissan/Datsun 720 Pickups. In 1998 production line moved again to Zamyad Co., where now Nissan Junior is still in production. Zamyad still using Z24i version of Nissan Z series engine and 2.8 liter Diesel engines.
