This was posted on the Datsun Forum. It's a 910 Bluebird SSS coupe which has a heap of tuning potential. RWD with IRS and pillarless to boot! Best of all the Entire engine, transmission, struts and crossmember from a Silvia Turbo will bolt right in to one of these!  If you interested PM me and I'll put you in touch with the guy who knows about it ;D BTW, this is nothing to do with me..I don't know the car opr seller, I just thought it's be a cool ride for one of you guys! |

Lovely! I was staring at a regular 4-Door one this morning, idly wondering what potential it might have...

That's lovely...how much is he asking?
Am I insane? I thought that Bluebirds and Silvias were FWD?
Does he like Toyotas?

Lovely jubbly! Even more potential than a four door one I'd say. Although where am I going to keep that, there are already two of my projects ditched in the garden!  |

It's the widow of the guy who owned it who is selling it and she's more concerned it goes to a good home. If you want a contact for info just PM me and I'll send the email address. I don't want to post the guys email address on an open forum really. Spam and all that  It's done 69K miles and is a manual. All silvias ever made from the mid 60's onward are RWD. Bluebirds were RWD until about '84. This is the last generation to have RWD. The running gear is very similar to the Silvia in many ways. The front is struts and the rear, semi trailing arm IRS. There's lots of stuff that will bolt into one of these and there's enough room under the bonnet for anything up to a V8. Unlike the older Datsuns these have rack and pinion instead of a steering box so they have much nicer steering. |

I've always kept an eye out for Bluebird coupes. Sorry to keep directing questions at you Eddie, but I don't want to waste the owners time...do you know where it's based?
Anyone want to buy my Cressida?

I'm not sure where abouts it is but I can find out for you. I do have a few parts for those (including a set of JDM tail lights!) I broke 2 coupes for parts last year. Don't tempt me! ;D ;D |

That would be a real sleeper if ever there was one. You wouldn't look at it twice on the street, heck you wouldn't even know it was there - 'til it blew you away.
Just needs someone to do there thing with it & make that a reality..!! ;D

The FJ20E from a Silvia will bolt straight in using the Silvia crossmember, same as the CA18ET does. The FJ would be perfect in a 910...either that or a VG30ET from an old 300ZX turbo ;D
Edit: I forgot to add, I found out the car is in Sheffield and I now have the owners phone number if anyones interested.

Sheffield is just too far away...certainly far enough to make my decision for me. I hope the right sort of person picks up this car. It could be so cool.
Thanks for all the info Ratdat!
