An OHV engine of {{convert|1299|cc|L cid|1|disp=flip|abbr=on}}, the J13 was used in the 1965-1967 Datsun 411 sedan and wagon (originally only in the sporting "SS" series). Bore and stroke are {{convert|73x77.6|mm|2|abbr=on}}.{{Cite book | title = Quattroruote Speciale: Tutte le Auto del Mondo 1967 | publisher = Editoriale Domus S.p.A |date=February 1967 | language = it | page = 195 | location = Milano }} It was also produced for the Datsun 520 and 521 trucks from 1967 to 1969 when it was replaced by the Nissan L engine. Mexican-assembled Bluebird 510s also received the J13 engine. The J13 was rated at {{cvt|67|PS|kW hp|0}}.

The J13 was bored out to produce the J15, which was introduced in the Datsun 521 truck in 1969 and saw use in various Nissan pickup trucks like the 620 and 720 in various overseas markets through the 1970s and 1980s. It was also used in certain sedans like the 710. It was also used in the PA321 Datsun Cabstar. Bore and stroke are {{cvt|78x77.6|mm|2}} for a displacement of {{cvt|1483|cc|L|1|disp=flip}}. The J15 produces {{cvt|77|PS|kW hp|0}}. Max torque at 3400rpm with 12.0 kg.
=J16=
A {{cvt|1567|cc|L|1|disp=flip}} long-stroke iteration of the J15 was also built, mainly for utility vehicles. Bore and stroke are {{cvt|78x82|mm|2}}. This engine was also installed by Nissan's Taiwanese partner Yue Loong in several iterations of the Nissan Violet, long after Nissan themselves had stopped using OHV engines in passenger cars.
