About the Nissan Fairlady 240ZG S30
The Fairlady 240ZG (HS30-H) was a Japan-only homologation special created to qualify the 240Z for Group 4 racing. It is instantly recognisable by its 'Aero Dyna' nose, which extended the car by 190mm, alongside bolted-on over-fenders and acrylic headlight covers. While it shared the L24 engine with the export 240Z, the ZG was unique to the Japanese domestic market and featured a drag coefficient of just 0.39. Today, it is one of the most sought-after S30 variants due to its distinct aesthetic and motorsport heritage.
