Watching !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and was reminded of the 280ZX-R.

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 !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! 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.

Neat.

Neat! I didn’t know that, particular because I don’t acknowledge an S30 past 1978.

Like many bits of car knowledge, I only know of it because of Oppo.

Just find a cheap Skyline GT-R and transplant.

People pay $30k for engines and the reproduced modernized OS Giken are that much anyway. When I see people with a new sports car I think I could just get an OS Giken engine for my Z and a Fujisubo exhaust. I already have disks, 3 carbs and a 5 speed.
