200zx?

eightsixdrifter9 · Dec 18th, 2003, 08:39 PM

I was talking to a friend today about me seeing a nice Datsun 200ZX. He doesn't believe I saw a 200ZX, he doesn't believe there's such thing. I've seen a 200ZX tail light center piece more than enough times to believe it's an actual car. On Google I can't find any pictures but I can find a lot of things mentioning a "Datsun 200ZX" I was hoping yall could help us find out if it is real or not. BTW It's a 1970's car that looks very similar to the 240Z if that helps at all.

Never heard of a 200ZX. The results from Google are all caused by typos and people not knowing what they are talking about.
Only tail light center pieces I can think of are the 280ZX and the early 300ZX ones.

Do some research and they are called the gazelles or early modle 180sx some came with a 2.L, 1.8T, V6. RWD crazy little cars and there is quite an underground fallowing for the S12.... Check out www.club-s12.org There are even a few out there with do i dare say DET swaps!!!! OMG!!!!

Ok, so there was a 200ZX in Australia then..?
But eightsixdrifter probably did not see a Datsun 200ZX similar to a 70's 240Z. Let me know if this seems right.

I dont think so? Some of the 80,s cars were double badged with Nissan and datsun But if it said 200 on the rear panel thats what it would be. Iknow that in europe the 200 name sylvia/gazelle name chanded in the early 80' to the 200 then from there evovle into the modernday 240's But i beleive that wgat he saw....

there was a 200ZR i belive it was based on the Z31 it was made in 1984... they used the 2.0 liter RB20 in it... the car was limited production and was only sold in Austraila and in Japan... very rare.. a lot of the hybrid Z guys look for that car jsut for the motor mounts... i did a lil research to find motor mounts that would fit the RB26DETT in the older Z cars and the 200ZR had the perfect mounts for that swap...... as far as a 200ZX i dont know if that even existed... it could also be a late model 280ZX fitted with a RB20 in it...

I'm not talking about an S12 200SX/Silvia. And also I've been thinking maybe it did say 200ZR or 200ZG or maybe even 300ZX and I couldn't tell.

duckyz · Dec 29th, 2003, 11:06 PM

There was a 200ZR and a 300ZR. They were both based on the Z31 design.

I've seen and ridden in a 200ZX in Brisbane, Australia. pretty sweet car if a little aged '8)

I have to agree with the RB20 200ZR... I think that is the only thing it could have been. I know in Japan the Fairlady Z Z31 came with an inline-6, either RB20 or RB25, rather than the V-6 here in the United States and the UK. What country do you live in?
