Has anyone ever tried doing a search on "fairlady Z .jp" you get some mad sites up from Japan.

I used Altavista's babblefish to translate the pages.

Look at this:

I think its for the L series.

This engine looks mean: (from a company called Hasegawa Power Sevices of Japan)

Those look great!! Part carb and part fuel injection?

I'm guessing carbs with Nitrous injection. POWER!

Here's a useless tidbit.It may be a myth,but it makes for a good story. When the Z car was coming out.The head of Datsun's favorite play was "My Fairlady" That's why the first Z's were called "Fairlady".As datsun thought of sending it to the USA they realized that "Fairlady was not a very macho name for the U.S. The work order number for the manufacture and production of the car was 240Z.The rest is history as they say.

He he... Yes very true.

The Z32 TT's in Japan were still called Fairlady's, carrying on the tradition.

Reminds me of the Hillborn fuel injection systems you used to see on the top fuel cars in the late 60's. Or were they Enderle? Whichever, looks pretty cool. I'd like to know what is lurking under that valve cover, or does it just look huge due to the camera angle??

All of the early roadsters were called Fairlady in Japan. I believe from about 1962 (1200) on. I know that the 1965 1600 roadster I had in Okinawa was a Fairlady, although at that time, we were still driving on the right side of the road. When they converted the whole island to the left side is another story. Now it's like anywhere else in Japan.

And when you are done drooling over that pic, take an hour or two to look at the rest of the Z pics on the site. Plenty of sweet rides, just get a towel first so you won't have to clean up afterwards!:tapemouth
