NISSAN'S ROTARY ON SHOW SOON
Nissan Motor Company will unveil its rotary-engined car at the Japan Motor Show, to be held in Tokyo in six months.

Mr. Katsuji Kawamata, president of the second biggest car firm in Japan, says it is hoped the rotary-engined model will be marketed one year later.

In the meantime, about 40 to 50 cars assembled on a test production basis will be tested for the domestic sales, he said.

In October, 1970, Nissan obtained patent licenses on the Wankel rotary engine.

That's what we need, a new engine conversion candidate

it had better fit in the 1200 engine bay!

True story... circa 1972....

yes that's funny. We had all the same photos in our club article before they put them on their site. See Rotary engine.

Hmmm had never seen those ones DD, I as just googling because I remembered seeing a datsun rotary somewhere.

Was it mentioned any diff upgrades planned for the roto coupe?

I don't think so. Read the report in our Rotary engine article. Click the links to see more details.

Yeah I did. Didnt notice any thing about rear suspention or diff changes. But was kinda figureing since they boasted about 120hp, and more to come. That a rear diff would have been in order.

I just realized the PB110 was already fitted with an H165 differential. That would be plenty strong for the 1000cc rotor mill.
