The Datsun Sports 2000, also known as the SR311 and SRL311, was a sporty two-door coupe produced by Datsun (now Nissan) from 1969 to 1971. It represented a significant step forward for the Japanese automaker, marking their entry into the burgeoning world of performance automobiles. Powered by a 1.6-liter inline-four engine with twin overhead camshafts, the Sports 2000 delivered a respectable 117 horsepower. This engine, coupled with a lightweight chassis and independent suspension, allowed for a spirited driving experience. While not a powerhouse compared to European sports cars of the era, the Datsun Sports 2000 boasted excellent handling and a reputation for reliability, making it a popular choice for both enthusiasts and everyday drivers.
The Datsun Sports 2000 was a forerunner in several aspects. It was one of the first Japanese cars to be offered with a five-speed manual gearbox, a feature typically associated with higher-end vehicles. It also featured a unique "semi-monocoque" construction, combining a strong steel backbone chassis with lightweight aluminum body panels, making it both rigid and nimble. With its sleek and sporty styling, the Sports 2000 captured the hearts of many, and it quickly gained a loyal following for its combination of performance, handling, and affordability. Despite its short production run, the Datsun Sports 2000 left a lasting impact on the automotive world, showcasing the potential of Japanese engineering and design. Its legacy continues to inspire enthusiasts today, and its factory service repair manual serves as a valuable resource for preserving and maintaining these classic machines.
