Fairlady is Nissan's sports car family, sold as Datsuns in the Japan market until the 1980s. Note: A sports car in this sense is technically a 2-seater. For more information, see wikipedia:Nissan Z-car and wikipedia:Datsun Sports

Roadsters
The Roadster competed with the 1960s british sports cars and featured 4-cylinder engines and full ladder-frame chassis. Roadster parts have rarely been used on 1200s, as they are older technology.

Coupes
Fairlady Coupes (Z-cars) replaced the Roadsters and featured advanced technology including unibody chassis and Independent Rear Suspsension. For 1970 they were sold side-by-side with the Roadsters, but after that no convertibles were made for many many years.

S30
1969-1979 Datsun S30. The long six was rarely swapped into 1200s but made a splash when it was done. In early 1200 racing, Datsun Competition recommended fitting the S30 brakes. In the 1980s Z-car seats were occasionally swapped into 1200s, but good seats are much too rare these days.

S130
The S130 changed from a sports coupe to a larger luxury car. The Japan-market S130 was badged 280Z -- confusingly, as it was badged 280ZX in other countries. Suspension and brakes were commonly swapped into 1200s.

280ZX (S130)
Z31
1983-1989 Z31 300ZX changed from the straight-six to the V6. This single overhead-cam V6 has been swapped into 1200s. Only the special JDM 200ZR used a straight six (the superb RB20DET twin cam).
See: VG_Engine_Swap
Z32
1989-2000 Z32 300ZX (1990-1996 in USA)
Z33
2002-2009 Z33 Nissan 350Z used the VQ V6 twin-cam engine which has been swapped into 1200s a few times. The six-speed gearbox is also useful for mating to the 1200 engine.
