Guest unknownroadster Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Hey alls I just joined the site in my journey to locate a good source of information for a such datsun model I have recently accuired... I just got a Datsun Roadster ( I know its not a Z...BUT its a DATSUN!!!) Havent done the research yet on which model # it is and such more information. Well hopefully you guys will be helpful and either send me in the right direction or keep me here!!! I live in the San Diego area, I work at a shop in El Cajon, and this will be my 3rd datsun...Im performance litterate considering my shop has a 1300hp supra and a bunch of other goodies (http://www.speedforceracing.com) I can fabricate lika MoFo. dont test me!! I dont wanna be cocky but probably the 2nd best welder in SD!! But anyways Im might not be off to such a good start saying what Im saying so I'll appologize now in advanced ( SORRY GUYS) Sooo here I am. let the smashing begin....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Aaron Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Welcome, there is/was at least one other member building a roadster (in Huntsville, AL I think). I think he was doing a VG30 swap (don't remember if it was going to be turbo, but I think so). I have also heard of a Ford 2.3 turbo swap. The SR would be a good swap, as would a rotary.

JMortensen Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Here's a link that might help. GREAT LSD info, I've never looked too much at the rest of the site. http://www.gordon-glasgow.org/tech.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olie05 Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 4 speed on an sr? for nostalgia I guess. Your also gonna have to fabricate up one of those adaptor plate thingies to go between the 4 speed and the engine.... ...or just go with the 5 speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NZeder Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 Congrads on the roadster. I am newish to this site also and there is lot of information to be found by doing a search. SR in a roadster cool. I have always like the roadster but they are very rare in this part of the world. I think there is only 2 or 3 here in New Zealand. You could go 5 Sp as the last RHD roadster had 5sp(SR311) = nostalgia still in check. Not sure about the SRL311 see http://www.datsun.org/roadster/info/SR_faq.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
