Hi All Interesting image of the month this time around - unusual photo of a 1600 Roadster driving alongside a Silvia and an R411 in some 1965 Japanese advertising. See: http://www.datsun.org/fairlady
Hi All More info and images of this car at the link below - it's nothing to do with me, I'm just trying to find a fairly sorry roadster (but an early one) a good home. It has Webers, not Solexes. _ht

Hi All If anyone's interested in these please let me know. I haven't really advertised them as I didn't think there would be much interest (a) because of the cost and (b) because I couldn't imagine t
OK, I've never been a big fan of engine swaps, but yesterday I agreed the purchase of?a 2000 roadster with a small block Ford V8 - it originally came from the USA when it ran as a V8 but has been in
Sorry I meant the diff - it has a Ford autobox but a Datsun diff - no idea what ratios it has or even what shape it's in. Eric's site is certainly an eye opener. Greetings from England.. Rob -- any i
Hi All Well the V8 is finally home and, as expected, there's a whole lot of work to do. It's 1970 1600 with a 351 Windsor, which sits slightly taller than the 289/302. It also sits too far forward fo
