Total 342 Z432s in 1978

[kats]

Hello,

for someone interested Z432/Z432-R,

I recently have got the very interesting data seat from a gentleman.

This gentleman was given this data by someone in 10 years ago.He said the man who gave this data was a serious fanatic of Z432/Z432-R.

The paper listed all of the owner of Z432 including Z432-R in Japan.This paper has date 24th APR 1978 must be printed out/prepared by employee of Nissan dealer somewhere in Japan.

Japan has 47 prefecutres,this data shows each prefecture's owners detail.

I can not show them directly here because I am told not to do so by the gentleman.The listing shows owners name,adress, chassis number, registration date, expire date, etc.etc.

Anyway they are old data, it was AT 1978...but what a wonderful thing is

there was at least one fanatic there, and he did try to search every single Z432/Z432R for his dream.

Please see the attached picture,I tried to show the data by my hand.

342 Z432s in 1978, how about now?

My friend Mr.Watanabe have been tracking down existing Z432 in his web,

he have found currently 100 Z432s are registered in Japan.

However it may contain slightly old info,I know one of them is now in California and I have heard the other was purchased by Australian gentleman.

Great piece of data, Kats. I was just talking today with my friend about the surviving Z432s, and the possible whereabouts of the missing 300+ cars. It's been explained to me that the registration requirements in Japan are harsh enough that it's possible a good number of them rusted to the point where they could not be registered, and were quite possibly scrapped. Your thoughts on this? I would think with prices being what they are that more would surface weekly.

This price of $7.8 million Yen seems pretty good for your friend's car, assuming it's a well maintained and correct PS30.

Greetings Kats! Great information! Many thanks

I am so exhausted,I put all the chassis number on the map.

Hello xs10shl,

Do you find your number?

I think so too, and I think japanese people do not have enough space to park multiple cars especially in a big sity.Expensive taxes may effect too,

and moisture.We can not expect a lot of survivers in Japan.

But 100 Z432s out of some 400 production,it is a quite good number than other old cars is not it?

Hi Chris,thank you and how are you doing and your cars?

I know the store really well, it is only 40 min. drive from my house where I grew up.But I wonder why he sold it to this store.......rather than selling it to a member........curious......

It's certainly nothing to do with the quality of the car. It's a good one. Better if you think of it being for 'personal reasons' rather than anything sinister......

I've driven the car, and can vouch for it. It used to belong to well-known 60s~70s Japanese racing driver Tadashi SAKAI ( I believe he bought it new ), and it was he who had the Weber DCOEs fitted in place of the OEM Mikunis. It's not 100% stock, but it has some nicely sympathetic 'period' feel modifications.

Hi Alan,

I remember you have driven the car,was it 2001? That year I met you in Fuji speedway that is why I remember.

I sent an e-mail to you,I hope volcanic ash clear up soon and I can fly to LHR.

I'm well, Kats. The economy is not good for architects at the moment but my project is to rebuild the engine for HLS30-00027. I love engine work.

I saw a photograph from Boeing for a test of composite wing structures and thought of you. The wings were bent with the tips far above the fuselage!
