Fairlady Z 432 '69

Introduced in 1969 as the top-grade variant of the Fairlady Z, the Z 432 was powered by the S20 inline-6 DOHC engine, producing 157.8 HP. Based on the powerplant of Nissan’s R380 race car, the engine gave the car a zero-to-1312.3 ft time of 15.8 seconds and registered a top speed of 130.5 mph. The Z 432 also proved itself in competitive racing. A lightweight version—the Z 432 R—was produced in limited numbers, featuring fiberglass panels and acrylic components to shed weight.

The first model of the Nissan Z series was known as the type S30. Of all the S30, this Z432 is particularly special. With a classic Z-series design... It is powered by the same S20 2L inline six-cylinder engine seen in the Skyline GT-Rs of its day. The four valves per cylinder... Three carburettors... And two cams don't just prove its high performance. These numbers are also the origin of the 'Z432' model name. The fact that it had a GT-R engine was reflected in its price, more than double that of standard S30s. Furthermore, only 419 of the Z432s were produced, making it the most valuable of the first-gen Zs. There was also a higher performance competition model of the Z432, the Z432R. An extremely rare variant, it tends to fetch a very handsome price at auctions.

The Nissan Fairlady Z 432 '69 can be acquired from the Legend Cars dealer. It was last added on January 8, 2026 for Cr. 312,000.
