Other nameplates "Datsun 260Z and Datsun 280Z" were also produced. In Japan, all versions were sold as "Nissan Fairlady Z". The Nissan Fairlady Z was a sports coupe, built between 1969 and 1978 for performance and precision. The first-generation Nissan "Z" Cars were all based on the Nissan "S30" platform. The Hot Wheels casting depicts the "G-nosed" or "G" model (sometimes known as "240ZG") with the aero-kit G-nose seen on motorsport models and some more expensive models from the showroom had the optional aero nose kit fitted.
