Origins and Mechanical Notes

The Nissan Fairlady 240Z stood out for its clean lines and performance. Its 6-cylinder engine and 5-speed synchromesh transmission gave it strong road manners for the time. This scale kit captures the essence of the 240Z and lets modellers assemble a faithful street-custom variant.

Customization and Detail

Key period components included are RS Watanabe 8-spoke wheels, a strut tower brace and metal air funnels to heighten authenticity. Photo-etched parts provide fine elements like racing seatbelt buckles and a carburetor insulation panel to lift the finished model's realism.
