1973 Nissan Fairlady Z 432 – The Rare Soul of a Skyline in a Z Body The 1973 Nissan Fairlady Z 432, known as the PS30 Z432, is one of the rarest and most sought-after Japanese sports cars ever built. Its name “432” stands for 4 valves per cylinder, 3 carburetors, and 2 camshafts, referencing the high-performance 2.0L S20 inline-six DOHC engine — the same powerplant used in the legendary Hakosuka GT-R. With an output of 160 horsepower, lightweight construction, and rear-wheel drive, the Z 432 delivered sharp handling and impressive performance for its era. It featured a 5-speed manual transmission, limited-slip differential, and subtle factory enhancements that set it apart from standard Fairlady Z models. Only 420 units were ever produced, exclusively for the Japanese domestic market, making the Z 432 a true unicorn among classic JDM cars. Combining the elegant body of the early Z-car with the soul of a Skyline GT-R, the Fairlady Z 432 is a timeless fusion of design and engineering brilliance — a crown jewel in any serious collector’s garage.
