I just can't get into the g nose. it adds 13mph to the s30's top speed, as well. My uncle offered me this for $3k
but I'd only want it for track-only. And I'd spend just as much on it as I would the one I already have (I posted it on page 33) (brakes, suspension, rb, etc). his has a freshly rebuilt L24 with dual webers, but I dun want that shiet.
The Japan-only HS30-H Nissan Fairlady ZG was released in Japan in October 1971 to homologate the 240Z for Group 4 racing. Differences between the Fairlady ZG and an export market Datsun 240Z include an extended fiberglass ‘aero-dyna’ nose, wider over-fenders riveted to the body, a rear spoiler, acrylic glass headlight covers and fender mounted rear view mirrors. The Fairlady ZG was available in three colours: Grande Prix Red, Grande Prix White and Grande Prix Maroon. The "G" in Fairlady ZG stands for "Grande." Although the ZG was not sold in the USA and was never sold outside Japan, in order for it to be eligible for competition in the U.S., Nissan sold the nose kit as a dealer's option which is known as the "G-nose". With the nose added, these 240Zs are often referred to as 240ZGs, outside of Japan.
Real fan of this, it's a pity there aren't any real ones left as they were all melted down for resources during WWII. As far as I'm aware even the one in the Toyota/Toyoda museum is a fake.
I read recently that one was found in Russia in very bad condition.
