Nissan S130 is a sports coup� produced by Nissan in Japan from 1978
to 1983. It was sold as the Datsun 280ZX, Nissan Fairlady Z and
Nissan Fairlady 280Z, depending on the market. In Japan, it was
exclusive to Nissan Bluebird Store locations. It was the second
generation Z-car, replacing the Nissan S30 in late 1978. The 280ZX
was the first time the "by Nissan" subscript was badged alongside
the Datsun logo, along with Nissan trucks. The 280ZX was Motor
Trend's import car of the year for 1979. The 280ZX was replaced by
the Nissan 300ZX in 1984. In 1979 Datsun homologated a
high-downforce "whale-tail" type spoiler for the Datsun 280ZX by
producing 1,001 280ZX-R cars; this allowed for use of this
aerodynamic aid in IMSA and SCCA racing. These cars also had
distinctive body decals and ZX-R logos. These cars were identical
to the other cars of this year with the exception of the spoiler
and decal package. Successful IMSA racer Don Devendorf was involved
in the development of the spoiler. From 1980 onwards, the 280ZX was
available with a T-bar roof (on both the two-seater and 2+2 body
styles). The T-bar roof panels could be removed and stored in bags
in the rear of the car. In 1980, a limited edition "10th
anniversary" car was released. Available in either black and gold
or black and red two-tone paint, these cars came with leather
seating, and other special trim features. A total of 3000 of these
cars were built - - 2500 in black and gold, and 500 in the red and
black.
