1970 Nissan Fairlady Z (S30) RHD Midnight Blue in 1:18 scale
This is the 1970 Nissan Fairlady Z (S30) RHD Midnight Blue in 1:18 scale by SunStar.
The 1970 Nissan Fairlady Z (S30), especially in its right-hand-drive (RHD) configuration, was a groundbreaking sports car that redefined what affordable performance could look like on a global scale. Known as the Datsun 240Z in export markets, the Fairlady Z combined sleek, European-inspired styling with Japanese engineering precision, featuring a 2.4-liter inline-six engine that delivered smooth, responsive power. What truly set it apart from its contemporaries was its balance of performance, reliability, and cost—traits rarely found together in the early 1970s sports car market. Unlike its pricier European rivals like the Porsche 911 or Jaguar E-Type, the Fairlady Z offered comparable styling and handling at a fraction of the cost, while also being more dependable and easier to maintain. Its lightweight construction, independent suspension, and bold design helped it achieve instant success, marking the beginning of Japan’s emergence as a serious player in the global performance car scene. The RHD domestic versions further emphasized the car’s original engineering intent and cultural roots, making them highly sought after today among collectors and enthusiasts.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. These diecast
models are exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Interior detail is hand assembled and easily
visible. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used for a most
authentic replication.
