The Datsun Fairlady 1600 SP311/SPL311, produced from 1969 to 1970, marked a significant evolution in the iconic Fairlady lineage. Building upon the success of the earlier SP310, the SP311 introduced a host of refinements, enhancing both performance and comfort. The most notable upgrade was the adoption of the larger 1.6-liter (1,595cc) four-cylinder engine, a powerplant familiar from the contemporary Bluebird 1600. This engine, mated to a four-speed manual transmission, delivered a substantial power boost, propelling the Fairlady to a top speed of 100 mph and a 0-60mph time of around 10 seconds. The SP311 also benefitted from a revised suspension, incorporating independent front and rear suspension systems, offering improved handling and ride quality.

Further enhancing the driving experience was the adoption of disc brakes on all four wheels, a feature previously unavailable in the SP310. Visually, the SP311 differed from its predecessor with the addition of a distinctive chrome-plated grille, which replaced the earlier black grille design. The interior received a refresh, featuring a new dashboard design and a more comfortable seating arrangement. The SP311 model also offered a range of optional features, including air conditioning, a tachometer, and a radio, further adding to its appeal. Despite its improvements, the SP311 was still a relatively affordable sports car, making it a popular choice for both drivers seeking sporty performance and those on a budget. The Datsun Fairlady SP311, with its blend of affordability, performance, and comfort, cemented its status as a classic Japanese sports car.
