The first generation “FairladyZ” S30, also known as Datsun 240Z or “Z-car”, was rolled out in December 1969 and won a big market not only in Japan but in North America and other countries. This model was manufactured for nine years as a representative car of Nissan all over the world and its global sales was over 520,000 units, the best number on record for sport cars of a single model.
This car is the high performance Model “Z432” on which “S20” engine of an inline 6-cylinder 4-valve DOHC and 160ps is mounted. This engine is same as that of the third generation Skyline 2000GT-R (PGC10). “432” comes from the engine configuration of S20, i.e. “4 valves, 3 carburetors, and 2 camshafts.”
