The 240Z-L "option"

[neotech84]

So I was looking on Nissan Heritage collection page at available trim packages. It states that the 240Z came in base, L and G packages. I know that the G is for the G-nose and flares but what was the L for?? Might even be a typo...... the page has that they came with a 5 speed and DOHC(not specific to the S20).

 

The only thing that I can think of is for later models with the L series 2.4 block not the S20. Am I correct? I searched ALL over for and info but all i found were model kit cars with "L" denoted on them thus leading me to think the engine.

 

Any ideas, facts or other useful knowledge?

There definitely was a 240Z-L (for "Luxury", not denoting the type of engine, which I assume was still the S20), but other than carpet and sound deadening (presumably more than the base model), I have no idea what else came equipped.

HS30, HS30S, HS30H, PS30, PS30SB, S30

240ZG, 240Z-L, 240Z, Z-L, Z, Z-432, Z-432-R

Holy selection of designations Batman!

 

The L20 (Not S20) equipped Fairlady cars were the Z-L and Z models

The L24 equipped Fairlady models were the 240ZG, 240Z-L and 240Z

That leaves the S20 equipped Z-432 as the last option.

 

The base was the Z model (no factory radio for example), the Z-L the more luxury, and of course the ZG came with that special nose (among other things).

 

The Z-L, 240Z, 240Z-L and Z-432 came standard with radio, clock w/ stopwatch, reclining seats, passing lamp, rear glass defroster and passenger foot rest. Other fancy things were optional like a vinyl top, racing stripes, etc... and available for all models.

 

There you have the home market lineup that was available when the Fairlady Z was new.
