History
Datsun Fairlady 2000 (SR311)
The SR311 represented the pinnacle of Datsun's first-generation sports car development, featuring the high-revving U20 engine with dual Hitachi-SU carburetors. Its lightweight construction and balanced chassis made it a formidable competitor in SCCA racing while remaining practical for road use. The Fairlady's success in American markets, particularly in racing, helped establish Datsun's performance credibility and paved the way for the iconic 240Z. With its classic long-hood, short-deck proportions, the SR311 remains one of the most beautiful Japanese roadsters ever built.
