One of the most hardcore versions of the original Nissan Z? You just need to look for this number and letter combo: 432R.
Offered only in Japan and in limited numbers–as few as 30 are believed to have been produced–the Z432R was built specifically to go racing.
Just like the slightly less extreme Z432, the R model received the 2.0-liter inline-six engine from the second-generation (Kenmeri) Skyline GT-R. However, the Z432R was made some 200 pounds lighter than the 432 thanks to thinner steel body panels, a fiberglass-reinforced plastic hood and acrylic side and rear windows.
While lacking radio, heater or even reclining seats, the Z432R did get a roll cage, full bucket seats and a larger 100-liter fuel tank suitable for endurance racing.
According to the seller, the car is currently equipped with Weber carbs in place of the original Solex units and has had its original magnesium wheels replaced with steel wheels.
Find this 1969 Nissan Fairlady Z432R for auction from Bingo Co., Ltd with an estimated value of ¥52,000,000-¥57,000,000, or approximately $361,600-$396,400.
