Close its the next body style up. SPL311 1967.5 to be exact, Fairlady 1600 roadster. Here are some pics of the one I am going to rescue. I am going for the vintage meets new school look, similar to what I was doing to the S14 if all goes to plan. It will be a truly unique roadster.

Do I strike you as the type of guy that would have a stock everything vehicle? lol If it was a 2000 maybe, but stock is boring to me. I take pride being different in everything I do. That way its personalized. I cant help myself, nothing I own stays stock. I have waaaaay too many ideas for this car to do a full stock restore.

Can you at least give us an idea of what you will do with the interior of this car? Will anything from the 240 build be usable on this, because I hate to see such fine interior work go to waste. But, I will say I do like the 1600 a bit more as it has this classic look to it. More power to you.

It is your build do what you want to do with it, and who really cares what people say, in the end they will still go damn this guy has talent. I for one will just be patiently waiting for pics of the new build and progress of it. I personally would be interested to see some of the interior work done for the 240SX be fitted into this, as it would be a shame to see all that hard work not be used.

Fitment is simple, If your interested Ill sell you my mount kit, if you need a motor ill sell you my VQ cheap too. Zfever offers a service where they will flash the ecu to remove the NATS. If I had to do it all over again thats the route I would take. Its not that I couldnt finish I just didnt have the desire to as much as I do for the roadster.

After 2yrs i'm finally finishing my s14. not putting climate controls in the wiring is BANANAS, so i guess im gonna loose some weight. im gonna just have some fun and look for a s13 vert over the summer and do it correct, with climate controls and twin turbos over the winter. sinister i under stand the intrest thimng, i quit about 3 times and brought back the stuff i sold last month just to ride out, especially after visiting Hal at dynosty in kentucky wit my cuz. boost is definitely next. I'll keep watch for that vintage roadster. i got one out back, even though its a vdub. haha.
