Another addition to the stable...

[empera]

ok i finally found one in decent condition. I've always wanted one and i'm extremely happy with this purchase.....

brought in a humongous trailer...it does not run, carbs need to be replaced.

After trying to maneuver her on the ice we finally puled her up and into her new home

Until next time...


Plans are to get it running, do some body work and drive it in the spring/summer. :wink:

That's a whole lot of Nissan's... Looks nice man. Keeping it stock?

 

[empera]

yea used to be an even amount of Z's and Mk3s...now theres only 1 mk3 and an mk4...lol

trying to get it running on the stock set up. I wanna do a swap but not sure on what yet.....i also need to tackle the body work first.

got it running on its own...kinda. Installed a new fuel pump. I then got it running off the tank after i added about 4.5gallons but then it started to run really ****ty after 20 mins...guessing its picking up debris and junk from the tank so i'm gonna drain it and clean it tomorrow.

That is a Fairlady roadster, correct? The predecessor to the Z-cars?

 

[empera]

yep....the 1600 and the 2000....

i love the car its def. old school...can not wait to have it on the road.

 

[te72]

Well, keep us posted Emp, I've always had a spot in my heart for old school Japanese cars, they took over when America gave up trying in the early 70's.

 

[empera]

yea man, i love this thing...

so i started measuring for near future swap

 

[bhmsupra]

Huge Find there. Little gems like that still are to be had, inspiring.
Very Nice Indeed!!!!

Awesome pick up.. I want a ride in it next time I'm at the garage

 

[empera]

heh swap wont be done until way later this year

 

[te72]

Given how light they are, I'd recommend an SR16 or 20DE, the VL (I think that's what Nissan called them) were some pretty sweet little motors, right up there with the 3sge Beams engines.

 

[empera]

not going for a handling car...just a cruiser....but i have ideas

Nice!! Any pics of yours? Ive been to 311s.org before and its very helpful. Only problem is i can't register to their forums.

I also think they (and maybe you) will hate me after what im going to be doing to the car.

Yea man its stupid cold in there. Waiting for spring to hit so i can do much more work in there....including work on the mk4 heh

 

[Supraholics]

Nice! That's a Nissan? I thought it was an Opel lol.

no they are a great group of guys. the registration issue is easily overcome... the antiregistration bot code is "Datsun Sports" you would be a welcome member of the community i have a build thread going over there... hope to make some good progress this summer on mine.

im taking the holy grail of datsuns and modifying it to the max.... so i doubt you will be the most hated...

 

[empera]

sounds good man, thanks for the info. I will be looking for your thread.

The Roadster is the holy grail of Datsuns? Odd... I would have figured it would be the S30 240z. I guess to each their own, but I don't think they've ever topped that car, in 40 years now, they have yet to come up with better in my eyes anyway.
