The Datsun Fairlady Z — sold internationally as the 240Z — is one of the most significant Japanese cars ever built, a long-bonnet sports car with a 2.4-litre inline-six that arrived in 1969 and immediately redefined what was possible from a Japanese sports car at an accessible price. In Japan, the Fairlady Z became the foundation of an enthusiast culture that thrived on personalisation, modification, and the pursuit of performance — and the combination of orange bodywork with a carbon fibre bonnet seen on this model reflects exactly that tradition.
The carbon hood modification was a popular period and post-period upgrade that reduced weight over the front axle and gave the Z an immediately purposeful, track-ready appearance — a visual shorthand for the tuning culture that surrounded the S30 throughout its life and beyond. This Right Hand Drive edition captures the car in Japanese domestic specification. Sun Star’s 1:18 diecast model features openable doors, bonnet, and boot, working wheels and suspension, officially licensed at approximately 25cm in length.

Understanding Scale
The scale of a model is its size as a proportion to the real-life item. For instance, a 1:18 scale model means that every 1 unit of measurement on the model equals 18 units on the real item. If you divide the real item's size by 18, you'd get the size of the 1:18 model. Please note that models can vary slightly in size, as not all real-life items, like cars or planes, have the same dimensions.
