Birth of the S30 Platform
Introduced in 1969, the S30 series covered the early Datsun/Z sports cars and spanned production until 1978. It was the brainchild of Yutaka Katayama, who shaped Nissan’s first global sports‑car image.
280Z Upgrade – Bigger Engine and Fuel Injection
In 1975 the 280Z arrived as an evolution of the S30, featuring a larger 2.8‑liter engine. This model also introduced Bosch fuel injection, marking a technical step forward for the Z lineup.
Collector’s Rarity – Hard‑to‑Find Original Parts
Factory body panels for early S30 Z‑cars remain very hard to locate, and original hubcap center caps and authentic emblems command high prices among enthusiasts. The scarcity of these components fuels a vibrant market for rare and discontinued JDM parts.
