HS30-H Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Hi Nic-Rebel 450CA, PLEASE don't place too much faith in the numbers on that list. They were originally supplied by Nissan's USA operation at the launch of the S130-series Z and they were of better use to advertisers trying to launch a new model than to true historians. You have to watch out for the question being loaded too. A better question to ask might be how many S30-series Z cars were produced in each year ( not 'Model Year' and not just ONE market version ) and then the breakdown over model type and the market it was sold in. When you ask about the "240Z", I wonder if you actually mean ALL types of S30-series Z cars, or JUST the USA market "240Z"? The list might lead people to believe that EXACTLY 500 "240Z" cars were built in 1969 ( that's a nice round figure isn't it?! ) and that no other S30-series Z cars were built in that year - which is quite far from the truth. The "other" section is also misleading, and the fact that the list does not even mention Japan specifically makes it either confusing, plain inaccurate, or both. Another example that would question the accuracy of the list is the amount of "240Z" cars that were supposedly sold to "other" markets in 1971. If the "other" section DOES indeed include Japan then the list is completely wrong, as several thousand HS30 models were made for the Japanese market in 1971 and not 89 as the list shows. If the "other" section does NOT include Japan, then the list is pretty much meaningless as a historical reference anyway. Nissan were notoriously bad at supplying accurate information on the WHOLE picture of their production numbers, although the USA operation had a pretty good handle on what they received and therefore the USA and Canadian market totals are more reliable. Hope you don't mind me making the point. Sincerely, Alan T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 so theres no way to find out how many models of each HS30 were in america? from 240Z to 280Z. how about color? i wanted to know how many 280Z's were made with the 302 paint code (leaf green metallic)... i guess its impossiable to tell.. which sucks.. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HS30-H Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 so theres no way to find out how many models of each HS30 were in america?from 240Z to 280Z. mike I never said that. I think you can get pretty accurate information about JUST the USA / Canada market "HLS30" ( if that's all you are interested in ) because NMC USA kept a good record of what was imported. However that's quite different from the actual total that were MADE - isn't it? As for colours - maybe somebody in the USA might know a breakdown for that market.

Guest ON3GO Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 oh ok thanks man.. was wondering because i dont see many Z's in my color.. thanks mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nic-Rebel450CA Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Basically what I am trying to figure out is, my Z is #2188. That is 2188 out of [?].. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HS30-H Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Well, the first thing you have to realise is that its no.2188 of the "HLS30" prefixed cars. In your car's case the "HLS30" refers to the HLS30-U model that was produced for the USA / North American market ( as opposed to the other LHD Export markets such as countries in mainland Europe ). Do remember that there were also cars with the VIN numbers "S30-002188" & "HS30-002188". If they had made that many 432's then there would have been the VIN number "PS30-002188" - but they didn't. So, your car is the 2188th HLS30 to be given a number by the Factory, but its NOT the 2188th S30-series Z to be built and its not the 2188th "240Z" to be built either. They didn't start from zero for each Model Year if that's what you mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
