Tamiya 24367 - TAMIYA 1/24 240Z CUSTOM STREET

The Fairlady Z was a hit from its release in 1969, and the Japanese line-up was joined in 1971 by the 240Z. It had an elegant long nose and fastback coupe design, 150hp 2.4-liter inline-six engine, 4-wheel independent strut suspension, and a rack and pinion steering setup. Inside the sporty cabin, the driver had a wide array of instrumentation to hand. The car was a bona fide hit with drivers in both Japan and overseas, particularly the United States, and the car was often customized by its adoring owners.

- This is a 1/24 scale plastic model assembly kit. Length: 172mm, width: 71mm, height: 52mm.
- The 240Z is recreated with popular customizations of its day.
- The model can also be built as a North American Datsun 240Z.
- Its 2,393cc inline-six SOHC engine and triple carburetors are rendered realistically. Air funnels are aluminum parts.
- The car is depicted with lowered suspension.
- RS Watanabe 8-spoke wheels are a two-part design for an easier paint job.
- Realistic synthetic rubber tires.

The ageless 240Z form is captured in style, and the model can be assembled as a left-hand drive North American version, with a red body in images on this page. (The model with a blue body is the Japanese right-hand drive version.)

Compare the model with the "G-nose" 240ZG. This kit depicts the car with lowered suspension.

Separate parts for plated and rubber bumper sections make for an easier paint job. North American spec overriders are also separate parts.

The bonnet opens to let you check out the 2.4-liter L24 engine and its triple carburetors and aluminum air funnels.

North American version features such as door-mounted side mirrors and opposite wipers are recreated. The DATSUN emblem is a metal transfer.

Separate plated window frames save time in the paint job and really look the part.

Rear combination lights use plated and clear parts in conjunction with metal transfers.

Stacked twin mufflers are a real eye-catcher. Note the different North American version fuel lid and side markers.

Eight-spoke RS Watanabe wheels have separate spoke and rim sections for an easier paint job.

A full set of decals features both Japan and North American spec instrumentation. Logos and emblems are also on the metal transfer sheet.
