Rare S30's and parts

The 432Z.. is probably one rare version of the S30 Z




Here is a S30 Z with the OS Giken DOHC head.

How much is a 432z worth ? Well , which one ? there is a road going version and also a "R" Version as well.

good clean all orginial 432 = $120,000+

The so called "R" version = $are you freakin nuts ?

What does 432 stand for ?
4=valves.
3=solex Mikuni's.
2=camshafts.

Here are some photos from a guy I know who is a god of all things S30.
These are some pics of his of early efforts to 'improve' the aero characteristics of S30-series Z cars.

First shot. A 1971 factory 'Works' 240ZR race car with an FRP front panel that reduces the radiator inlet size ( I believe it was also fully ducted to the rad support panel ) and gives a separate inlet duct for the carbs. This car also sports a front 'spoiler' with brake ducts and slots for the QuickJacks used in the pits. The full-length FRP engine/trans undertray appears to be slightly damaged and is hanging down at the back.
Note that this car - like so many of the Japanese circuit race Z cars of that period - was built for endurance races that varied from 300 to 1000km in length:



Another Works car at speed. Similar to above spec, but with outlet ducting added to the bonnet ( hood ):



A slightly clearer view of the bonnet ducting in this 'pit-in' shot:



Aftermarket race parts suppliers in Japan were soon on the case, and producing their own versions of the parts seen on the Works cars. Here's a period magazine ad from 'Scuderia Nissan' ( a race team / parts manufacturer not actually affiliated to Nissan Motor Co. ) that shows a similar front panel treatment - but this time for the S20-engined Z432. Note the carb inlet duct on the opposite side to that of the L-series engined versions:

During the 1971 race season, many of the 'Works' race cars began to be fitted with the newly-homologated 'ZG' aerodynamic body parts. These were updated, changed, modified and tweaked between almost every race, and by 1973 the full-blown super-wide overfender versions with super deep front spoilers were in full use.
Once again, radiator inlets at the front of the car were ducted all the way up to the rad support. These were difficult to see when the bonnet ( hood ) was in place, but were sometimes revealed in the pits - or when the car was damaged:

Here's a car that shows some interesting modifications. Driver Haruhito Yanagida ( boss of well-known Z specialist garage and race team 'CENTRAL 20' ) was a sometime Nissan 'Works' SCCN team driver, and had good access to some trick Works parts and cars. However, he also had some of his own ideas - as illustrated here.
This cars sports the full Works Group 4 aero package G-nose kit. Note the extra-deep rear spoiler and small 'flip' strip above the rear window, and the alloy side-skirts:



During the 1972 season, some teams experimented with fins on the rear deck.

Here's Yanagida again, this time in his much-photographed red/white/blue Hitachi / Checkman-sponsored car:



And another SCCN team driver in the same event - Seiichi Suzuki in the Maruzen Technica-sponsored Tomei car. Suzuki was sadly destined to perish in a race accident within just a couple of years:

This guy on Hybrid Z has been working on this for a while:














He cut up 3 KA cylinder heads and pieced them together to create a DOHC head for the L.

i dont know why it comes up like that ^^^^ but the starroad.co.jp

sexy coil overs with built in spindles.

hybridz forum is pretty extensive. the guys on there have been swapping these cars with everything. and when you see their full builds its crazy the things they do to the chassi.

there was one guy from Europe that made his custom rear to fit the whole rear sub from a skyline.

LOL, those "coilovers" are just stock strut housings cut down some, with the spring perches cut off and seating rings for "coilover conversion" welded on. It's actually pretty cheap and easy to do yourself, but many vendors here sell the same thing.

Coilover
Or you can pay through the arse to have someone do it for you with a bit nicer (ok, a lot nicer) components
