The Datsun Roadster was a lightweight automobile produced by Nissan in the 1930s. The series was a predecessor to the Fairlady sports cars, and was an example of the earliest passenger cars produced in Japan. We added some more road tests - many from foreign magazines - some more brochures, three 1960's vintage Datsun Service Bulletins, and a 20-page color spread from the from October 2007 "Z File - Fairlady and Fairlady Z History". We got permission to publish these pages courtesy of our "roadster friend in Japan" and D.R.F.C. member, Takeshi Izuka. Takeshi, by the way, is the proud owner of an "imported" LHD 1969 2000 that he has maintained in showroom condition.

The Datsun Roadster was a lightweight automobile produced by Nissan in the 1930s. The series was a predecessor to the Fairlady sports cars and was an example of the earliest passenger cars produced in Japan.

Well, our translator from Part I had returned to Japan so we were left without a friend nearby that could translate Japanese. What to do? Instead of a live person, we discovered a software package that could provide a translation to English that, even though far from perfect, gave us a starting point to translate a bunch more information. We made the financial commitment, purchased the software, and Part III includes 44 more pages of pictures and translations from the 1977 version of Fairlady I and II As we made our way through the translation process we learned the following interesting words: thoraxes = Rolexes oil air conditioner = oil cooler fair ready = fair lady loadstar = roadster carburetor = carburetor eguzosuto = exhaust kava = cover hob shiyahu = Bob Sharp
