You don't look dumb, you have just proved you are smart enought to want to learn! I didn't know this until I had owned my 240Z over a year! You know them by their common names: the 240Z, the 260Z and the 280Z. S30 is the factory model designation for the 1st generation body of the Z car(1969-1978)! Look at VIN #s from all countries, the S30 is the only part that does not change anywhere.

A vin with HLS30 starting it is a 2 seat, L series engine powered, Left hand drive(steeringwheel)'69-'78 Z car.

A VIN starting GHLS30 is a four seat(2+2), L series engine powered, Left hand drive(steeringwheel) '69-'78 Z car..

The G or the lack of it tells whether the car is a 2 seater or a four seater. If the G is there it had 4 seats.

The H tells that the car came with an L series engine for example:

Japanese 240s had a 2 Liter 4 valve per cyl engine,and right hand steering- they were PRS30 cars, not HLS30 cars, but both were S30.

The S30 is the factory model designation for the body.

The answers are:

What is painted on the underside of the roof, but above the headliner in a S30? Why it was painted there?

A "T" is painted on the inside of the roof to denote which side of the car the steering wheeel will be on (which firewall was to be installed.)

Cd (Drag)for a stock (No front license plate, airdam, headlight covers or Gnose) S30 is 0.467

What was the factory model designation for the S30 in the Japanese Domestic market?

S30, it didn't change anywhere in the world.
