Z-car usually refers to a series of sports cars manufactured by Nissan. Early on they were released under Nissan's Datsun brand name.

 

Starting out in 1969 with the 240Z, the Datsun Z-cars have been popular in Japan, where they are known as the Fairlady Z (Note: the Fairladys used 2000 cc L series motors), the United States, and the United Kingdom. Despite their good looks, reliability, and strong performance, they have been remarkably affordable automobiles. The Nissan Z cars also currently holds the record of best selling sports car of all time with around 1,685,000 in five generations.

 

5 Generations of the Z car ...

 

1.1 The First Generation (S30): 240Z, 260Z, 280Z (1969–1978)

1.2 The Second Generation (S130): 280ZX (1978–1983)

1.3 The Third Generation (Z31): 300ZX (1984–1989)

Cocaine by the looks of things :rofl:

... The 280 was a ZX, the 260Z 2+2 was a one off lol. ...

And what about the 280Z 2+2 (US only model, 260 2+2 shell with a 2.8 Ltr Injected engine)? ;)

 

 

Anyway, mine has 300ZX on the rear and a Z badge on the front (well it should. but it's gone missing :rolleyes: )

well all i can say that if Clarkson was wearing a Z shirt and it had no 300zx on, then according to Nissan it aint one, and i aint arguing with them lol!! :rofl:

But that's not the shirt he was wearing last night! :D

SHHHH!

Ah so there will not be any S130s,Z31s and Z32s going to be at as they arn't Zs

 

Never wanted to go anyway :cry: :cry: :cry:

LOL.. hes pulled the trump card... very good :rofl: :cool: :D

enjoy Z view

any one can go to z008 as we are a welcoming bunch lol!!

any one can go to z008 as we are a welcoming bunch lol!!

 

Oh good I'm glad that I can come in my 280ZX and join the Zs (S30s and Z33)

I hope that there will be other non Zs there like the Z31s and Z32s if they are not going to be there it might be an idea to invite them as well as guests :rofl:

id ask Mr K the answer but some idiot ripped his head off last night lol

So what make a true "Z" car then?

(No pics of the TV series please!! LOL)

 

Nissan refers to the Z32 as "the fourth generation Z car".

course its a Z! :D says so on the nose panel.

If it was a Z car then it would have been called a 300Z. The 280 was a ZX, the 260Z 2+2 was a one off lol. Why was the 350 not called a 350ZX? It had more luxury options than the 300ZX. Z car is a sports car, ZX is a GT car. While the 300ZX does have some heritage, it is NOT a Z car sorry

 

........I have to ask, why the "Z" badging then?

 

All Z/ZX cars carried the same "Z" badge until the 350Z, where the "Z" character was updated a little ;)

 

Richard :D

What is the difference between a sports car and a Gt car?

Here's another design of Z shirt.....

What is the difference between a sports car and a Gt car?

 

A Sports car like the 350Z is slower than a Grand Touring car like the 300ZXTT :D

so did the X symbolise a Z gt car?

My first JDM 300ZX Z32 came with a leather bound folder with a handbook and original sale documents....All mentioned the Fairlady Z but 300ZX was hardly mentioned at all!

The front cover of the folder had an embossed script which read Fairlady Z too!
