===Used Cars (GT7) ===
The Nissan S30 is one of the finest and most popular Japanese sports cars ever produced. This higher-performance 240Z variant, the 240ZG, features a 2.4L straight-six engine. Its extended front was one of the more notable additions, and it is lovingly referred to as the 'G-nose'. This feature increased the car's total length by about 190 mm compared to the 240Z. The nose isn't just for looks—its aerodynamic properties boost the 240ZG's top speed by about 3.1 mph.

What happened in June 1972 was pretty unusual, by anyone's standards. It was the second race of the popular Fuji Grand Champion Series, which took place on the Fuji Speedway Circuit. And, despite being up against Gr.6 and Gr.7 racing cars... A lower-rank car based on a retail model managed to emerge victorious! The car in question was a Fairlady 240ZG, and its driver was Japan's Haruo Yamagata. The race took place in heavy rain, and the 240ZG performed exceptionally against its higher-ranked rivals... Eventually crossing the finish line in first place! The event became known in Japan as the 'Z in the Rain' race, and is one of the most legendary moments in motorsports.

No doubt about it, the S30 has a sports car design that is quintessentially Japanese. I might even go so far as to say that its proportions and lines are just about perfect. The over-fenders and long nose which were added to the ZG variant... They actually balance the car quite nicely, giving it a more 'aggressive' charm, so to speak. Just remember to give it some wide-rim wheels!

==Trivia ==
*In Gran Turismo 4 Prologue, an unused black color version of the car can be found in the game files.
*The racing modifications for the car in GT2 resemble the Checkman Sports Kit version of the 240ZG, driven by Haruhito Yanagida.
*The distinctive nose style of the car is popular among old Nissan Z enthusiasts, and commonly referred as "G-Nose". The reason why Nissan restyled the nose of the Z is to enhance its aerodynamics for racing purposes.
*Despite appearing nearing every Gran Turismo game, this car did not received its updated model and interior until its return in Gran Turismo 7, where it now has a fully-modeled bodywork and a fully-functioning interior.
**In GT6 however, the car did receive minor visual upgrades (but without a fully-functioning interior), joining the ranks of cars often referred as "semi-premium" by GT6 players.
