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.

 

May the force be with you. Seriously, looks like a sweet project. Good luck.

 

looks like another fun project that all of us are going to enjoy to see you put together

 

that one actually looks in half decent shape, why wouldnt you restore it rather than gut it and put the VQ in ?

 

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.

 

Dude you still have a 240 shell hit me up. I want a new toy to mess with.

 

As a matter of fact I do. There is one in my back yard.

 

good luck with your new project!

 

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.

 

Well not as of yet, once I get the car I will be able to get an idea of whats plausible and what is not right now I have an idea of what I want to do, not sure if it will work yet. Hell I am not even sure if I will post build pictures till its done, as I am sure I pissed off alot of people by jumping chassis...

 

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.

 

words cant describe how let down i am, im about to be buying a s14 for this very swap and out of all the threads ive read i cant find anyone who has compleated one yet. any tips or steps i need to look out for?

 

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.

 

Not an s14, but mine is all done

 

I would've said do a R33 body and convert it to LHD.

 

How is the convert coming along?

 

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.

 

to bad zfever is garbage!, go on the 350z club of florida forums for proof, calipers falling off and other bs, I went with a friend there...extreamly poor servace and they kept trying to sell me crap i didnt want or need

 

damn, major project and major props

 

just read most of the 45pages...updates???
