Long term Aussie Fairlady owner.
Hi all
I have a 1965 1500 SP310 Fairlady which has been in the family since new.
I live in Batemans Bay NSW, which is on the coast 350km south of Sydney and directly east of Canberra.
Car under minor rework at present.Fixing windscreen washers, fuel temp gauge and other minor trim stuff.
I have quite a collection of bits and pieces for SP310 and SP311 cars I have collected over the years including engines and gearboxes.
Still looking for some original SP310 hubcaps .I have lost 2 over the years.
I am really enjoying the forum. I am surprised at how many Fairlady's are still out there.

Hi Glenn
In my opinion, a better Forum can not be found
I recently converted my fuel tank sender to work with the later model fuel gauge.
Would like to see some pics. of your car if you wouldn't mind

Re: Long term Aussie Fairlady owner.
Your in luck Glenn, Nissanman reconstructed or refurbished every nut and bolt and all else on his car, and has the pics to prove it
So your fellow countryman is an excellent resource and most helpful!
We would love to see pics of your car, and some scenery too if possible

Hi Glenn if you want to connect with roadster owners in oz join datsun.org.au . The club has loads of parts and connections for how to keep your car running. Is you car yellow? I was down at malua bay and noticed a yellow roadster?

Hi
Thanks for the info about the club, I will have a look.
My car is red, there is a guy in the Malua Bay area with a 1600 but I thought he painted it light blue.
I live in Catalina, up the hill from the golf course.
