Datsun/Nissan 280ZX 1979-1983

Should be under Datsun as it was pre-nissan full conversion, but as the 280ZX was one of the best performing Datsun sports cars of it’s time and also one of the best selling sports cars ever, as well as having deep official racing history too

The 280zx is a beautiful car in itself but in the new update coming with rocket bunny, it would be awesome to have the pandem 280zx kit too as well and the racing kit used in the 80s SCCA/IMSA/Camel GT gtu/gto races

This car is an absolute must. Please make it a slick top. An airone gate option would be sweet as well.

The ABR Hosoki Engineering S130, the original inspiration for the devil Z in Wangan Midnight… one of my favorite tuning cars…

This car is so ugly and heavy but the rocket bunny kit and some weight reduction can fix that, plus we need a complete z lineup in the game and if this is added the only z left would be the z31.

YES. PLEASE. The ABR Hosoki Z is not only a legend, but a BEAUTIFUL bodykit. (And that’s coming from an OEM+ Enthusiast.)

An extremely rare case where the imported version of a Japanese car had better performance than its domestic counterpart.

I would absolutely love to have one of these in the game. In their day they weren’t as appreciated, and many games would often ignore their existence and even Hot Wheels completely left the 280zx out when they released their Z lineup pack that included all the generations of Z cars from Nissan.

However, things have really been taking off for the 280zx as its popularity has been rising and people come to appreciate its uniqueness and potential for modification and increasing amounts of aftermarket support.

To have this car in the game would be awesome and would give us 280zx enthusiasts a huge boost in enthusiasm. I’d gladly buy a pack for the full Z lineup.

If they had all the trims of the 280zx it would be epic(base, 2+2, turbo version, T-tops, etc.) However the slicktop coupe would be more than good enough of all the others can’t be included.
