i guess nissan put a rotary engine in teh s11 silvias. has anyone ever heard about this before???

Introduced 1979.

Nissan's flirtation with Rotary engines. Only a handful ever produced.

Production continued as the S110 with a conventional piston engine. (designation unknown - any takers?). According to Alan Marr, the Nissan rotary was a 1000cc twin-rotor design. With a 4 barrel carburettor, it was similar to the 10A Mazda engine

Like the CSP311, it was exported in limited numbers as the Nissan 1600 Coupe

The S110 had an FJ20E when sold in Japan as a Silvia and a 100HP Z20E (twin plug) when sold in North America as a 200SX, swapping to the 102HP Z22E in 1980

It actually looks very similar to an RX-4 (all the pictures are on the wrong line, btw). Very cool.

some of the tidbits about the sil eighty were quite intresting...but some of the stuff is a bit off.

 

Yea, I agree with stealth fox
