raceneely Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 The 2 door SSS Bluebird is in the house. Should be on the road this weekend. I'll drive it for a couple of years then put it in the tank, strip it, and rotisserie restore it. Too bad the calendar doesn't list all of the events anymore or I could figure out which one to take it to without searching 8 different threads to find out what is going on. :) Neely 3 Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 How did you make the 411 into a tudor? Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 He didn't "make" it, they do exist! I have a Tomica Limited Vintage model LV-82B model that looks exactly like this car except that the model has the OEM wheels. By the way, look closely, it's a Right Hand Drive, so most likely a Japanese or other Right Hand English Rule or British influenced Drive car Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Very cool. In my originsl japanese 411 parts catalog, it shows the 2-Dr was available in SS form (J13 twin-carb) and the SSS (R16 twin carb) was only available in 4-Dr. Did they actually produce an SSS-R? Quote Link to comment

MikeRL411 Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 The grill on that car says it's NOT a SSS, but a PL411. Like ggzila says, it might, if you are lucky, be a 411 SS [sport Sedan, not a Super Sport Sedan]. Quote Link to comment
KlassicMotion Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Either way, it's a good looking car. Congrats! Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Did they actually produce an SSS-R? It's the RL411 export and the R411 Japanese domestic model. There are apparently JDM left hand drive RL411 models produced for sale in Okinawa while Okinawa was under American military juristiction and operated under California traffic laws.

Datsun Dude Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Congrats, Tom!! Were these ever exported to the UK? I know they are in Oz and NZ. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 411 = rhd L411 = lhd 411R = 2-door sedan R411 = 1.6 liter 4-door SS-R is listed in the Datsun catalog as Sport Sedan 2-door, but was only a catalog abbreviation, this code won't appear on the car anywhere. The underhood ID plate should read P411 for the 1300 engine or R411 for the 1600 engine. Quote Link to comment
graveltrapp Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Awesome car, where did you find it? Do the back windows roll down as well? Quote Link to comment
raceneely Posted February 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Hello all, thanks. The back windows pop out like a 510 and yes, Its an "R" on the vin# and yes it has a 5 main bearing R16 in it, they put an upgraded Cam in it from Steve at Top End performance in North Hollywood all the way from Japan, and upgraded the valve train with these part numbers below and new Nissan valves: 99996-B1061 99996-B1051 It also has a servo style 4 speed box floor shift model in it with the optional 1st and 2nd gear set. 3.082 first 1.857 second (1.312 3rd gear & 1 to 1 4th gear) stock but has a 4.11 rear end ratio in it which Ive never seen until this one. I checked because I beat my best 411 time in this thing on Malibu Canyon on Saturday morning and knew it had something to do with gearing. :angel: It did not feel stock. The bummer was the clock was stolen in transit along with the fender badge and trunk badge It did come from Japan and Nissan used this Grille on the SSS over there for some reason in many instances. I need some parts if anyone has some to sell or trade for. I need: 1 set of motor mounts E-brake cable Radio blank off plate Washer Bottle / Bag set up with elec motor. Wheel Bearings / Seals Windshield Sun Visors Neely text me or call me 310 429 1660 Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 > yes, Its an "R" on the vin# R411 or 411R? They came both ways. Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Search in "Body/Interior" section. Last year there was a writeup on a washer bottle assembly available in US parts stores that looked exactly like the 411 factory assembly. To my eye it looked like the mount on the back would slip right into the steel bracket on the fire wall of the 410 or 411. Quote Link to comment
raceneely Posted February 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 R411 yes. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 R411 means 1.6 liter car. What is the HP figure stated on the ID plate? Quote Link to comment

erichwaslike Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 thats it....... i have some pics he sent me but im not trying to take the wind out from under his wings.... Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Don't want to steal your thunder but Is this the same car or cousins? The spitting image of the Tomica model LV-82a except for the after market wheels and no bumper guards! Front fender side lights and no rear fender side lights is authentic. A beautiful car!

raceneely Posted February 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 yep that's it.... but its changing quickly, Ive put about 400 miles on it in the canyons here. Now the R20 motor that Lorio sold me is going in next month. Gotta get some wiring done on it, then mounting a mini alternator on the rear pumpkin with a pulley on the driveshaft and relocating the battery in the trunk, that will clean up the engine bay. Alternators are best not seen Quote Link to comment
