DATSUN - Z (S30) 1970-?

[MRS]

Bem este capitulo dava para um romance.
De facto, talvez a Nismo, com este nome e juridicamente formada tenha começado em 1984,mas muito antes disso já havia Motorsport Division.Basta dizer que os ralis em que o 240Z entrou nos anos 70 já eram sob a alçada da Nismo embora com outro nome.Estive várias vezes na sede da Nismo o chamado, Nissan Sports Corner, em Tokio-arrabaldes-onde ia buscar peças para os carros da Nismo que ficavam em Portugal e foram guiados pelo Santinho Mendes-Violets,240RS etc- e mais tarde para peças para as pick-up do team Trident Nissan,pois era responsavel pelo team.
Desde o Presidente-Yasuharu Namba-o tal que entrou no rali da Austrália nos anos 60 para ai com um 311 e cuja foto vem em todos os livros sobre o envolvimento da Nissan no desporto automóvel-até ao mais conhecido Takashi Wakabayashi,que esteve várias vezes em Portugal para os Tap ,conheci muita gente e fiz alguns amigos que não vejo há muitos anos.
De facto actualmente a Nismo tende a funcionar como a AMG para a Mercedes e o actual Presidente-Ogushi-foi até há pouco tempo Presidente da Nissan França e viveu quase sempre em França, pois o pai foi Embaixador do Japão em Paris.
Numa das várias idas à custa dos amigos lá ia para as àreas reservadas ver os Skyline do campeonato japonês e os carros de Le Mans.Tenho algumas fotos mas scanner é que não.
Havia uma pequena nuance nos anos antigos; é que algumas pessoas trabalhavam no Advanced Vehicle Design Dept.que funcionava numa fábrica,mas trabalhavam para a competição,como era o caso do Waka.Fotos destes tipos abundam nos livros sobre os Z e o Motorsport da Nissan.
O resto fica para a próxima.

Um dos grandes culpados deste sucesso sem precedente foi sem dúvida as competições nos EUA com a famosa equipa "BOB SHARP RACING" e no qual pertencia como piloto official o actor Paul Newman que pilotou desde o 240Z até ao 300ZX bi turbo com importantes vitórias no Campeonato Americano SCCA (Sport Car Club of América) e mais tarde no campeonato IMSA inclusivé com uma vitória final. Também ganharam na corrida "24 horas de DAYTONA" em 1994.

When you think of Japanese sports cars, you may think of the Supra, the NSX, or the 3000GT. They're all high-powered cars of remarkable power and (generally) amazing build quality. They're luxurious, they go quickly, and they'll last longer than any domestic car put against them. And they all owe their heritage to the Datsun 240Z, the first real Japanese sports car sold in the US—a car which shares almost nothing with its modern-day brothers. The 240Z is cheap and underpowered, and the fenders will rust right off if you forget to dry it after a car wash.

Nissan (then Datsun) started selling the 240Z in America in 1969—and America in 1969 was dominated by large brutish cars with hilariously large engines and little else. The 240Z wasn't positioned directly against cars like the Mustang or the Camaro, however—it competed directly against the British imports of the time: the MGs and the Triumphs. To this end, it performed quite well: the straight-6 in the 240Z was on-par with its British rivals and its light weight (around 2400lbs) was also fairly similarly classed. It also undercut the price on most (not all) of the UKian makes by a significant margin, which was good enough to move a significant number of units.

The Z line was sold in various forms for 30 years (until 1999) when it took a quick nap and got going again in 2003 with the 350Z model. The spirit of the original 240Z didn't survive intact from the beginning all the way to the end and by the early 1980s, the 280ZX and 300ZX models had become heavy and bloated touring cars instead of the spry boy-racer type launched in 1969.

Collectability: Good, for early models. Buy one rust-free and never feel bad giving it a good flogging.

(+) It's the first of the Japanese sports cars. Exotics like the Toyota 2000GT aside, the 240Z really was the beginning of the bona-fide Japanese sports car industry. Nearly every fast car from Toyota, Honda, Nissan, or Mitsubishi has a bit of the 240Z in its past.

(+) It's a really tidy car. Even compared with the cars American designers produced during their renaissance in the late 1960s, the 240Z is still a really great-looking car. The early models, in particular, are among the most handsome mid/small sports cars ever made.

(+) It's got a very colorful race history. 240Zs have been tossed in almost nearly every form of racing imaginable—from professional road courses to endurance racing to amateur rallies.

(+) It's not an uptight British sports car. This goes both in the sense that the 240Z is a fairly solid and durable little car, as well as the sense that it's a car that comes entirely without pretension. While it would be a sin to repaint a vintage Austin-Healey in anything other than an original factory color, you'd probably win an award for putting all sorts of crazy stripes on a 240Z. It's not a museum piece—it's a car.

(-) The rust. Oh, the rust. In the same way that I bemoan the Triumphs for their electrics and the Chevelles for their, well, everything, I bemoan the 240Z for its horrific rust problem. These cars are notorious for falling apart anywhere outside the high deserts of the southwest, to the point that finding a copy that isn't already holier than the Pope is often cause for a celebration.

(-) They forgot about the insides. Well, that's not strictly true, but the dashboard is made out of a type of plastic which cracks when you leave it out past 10am and the seating position is really cramped if you're taller than 5'8". All of the 240Zs are 2-seaters which means that unless you've got friends willing to lie down under the hatchback, you'll only ever be driving around with one other person.

Expect to pay: $3,000 for a 1973 240Z with some rust, or $10,000+ for a 1970 without holes that didn't come from the factory.

What to look for:

1970 models are worth the most due to their relative rarity and the simplicity of the bodies. Later models are saddled with chrome and bigger bumpers and thus aren't quite as collectible.

No rust. Really. The whole underbody is prone to serious rust, so it's worth a really good inspection. Rarely is the rust isolated to easily replacable body panels, so expect to spend a lot of time and money patching up holes if you buy a rusted car.

Uncracked dashboards are fairly costly and are worth a premium of at least $300.

Modifications galore! Pretty much anything goes—even a transplanted blown small-block Chevy V8...if it runs. The 240Z is fairly unique in the sense that most bodykits don't usually make it look like total crap.
