The Nissan 240ZG (officially known as the Fairlady ZG in Japan, chassis code HS30-H) was a homologation special of the Nissan 240Z, most notably featuring an extended fiberglass "Aero-Dyna" nose, wider over-fenders riveted to the body, a rear wing, Plexiglas headlamp covers and fender-mounted rear view mirrors. The 240ZG was available in only three colors: Grande Prix Red, Grande Prix White and Grande Prix Maroon. The nose kit alone was also sold as the "G-nose" in the United States as an "over the counter" option to allow it to compete Stateside. The cars are equipped with a 150 BHP 2.0L L20 inline-6 with a rear limited slip differential, Watanabe wheels, a factory racing steering wheel and a rear brace. Official production figures are unknown, but many ex-Nissan employees say that just over 1,000 were produced; any sources claiming "482" are erroneous.
Now, about the casting. This casting was designed by Jun Imai and introduced in 2016 in the HW Speed Graphics sub-series as a Need For Speed tie-in. This casting has seen a total of twelve Release, the last being in the Nissan Garage 4-Car Set. The Premium version of the casting, as you see here, actually has a substantially lower front bumper compared to the mainline casting.
