HS30-H

Hi Carl, OK - adding the table of Export and Production quantities from the MIKI Press book ( the original source was Nissan's Press Department ) to that page on zhome.com is an improvement of sorts ( good effort ) - but I still think the table above it is misleading when compared to the page title. As we know, the table of figures from the "Datsun 280ZX" book DOES NOT appear to include production or sales figures for Japanese domestic market models ( at least not for 1969, 1970 and 1971 ). Should such a list be sitting underneath a page title heading of "Z Car Production and Sales Reports"? I think it should be made clear that it includes ( or at least it appears that way ) only Export vehicles. That's not the whole story is it? Do you see where I'm coming from? Japanese domestic model S30-S, S30, PS30, PS30-SB, HS30-S, HS30, HS30-H, GS30 and etc etc etc are all 'Z' cars too. I think a website called "zhome" should have space for the whole Z family. That's what homes are for, no? Alan T.

Quoted from zhome.com: "The HS30 series cars (right hand drive models) started production in Jan. of 1970, and were given a separate chassis serial number series. While there seems to be some wide spread misunderstanding related to the year of manufacture of these cars, (which is not helped by Nissans own publications, which give broad ranges within which certain series of cars were produced). There is sufficient evidence to bear this out." End quote. "Started production" might mean one thing to one person, and one thing to another. Here's some evidence of Nissan's take on the matter:
