Nissan Fairlady Z33 NISMO Type 380RS — Import to Australia
Import a genuine NISMO Fairlady Z Type 380RS from Japan. Limited 300-car production — price on enquiry.
Nissan Fairlady Z33 NISMO Type 380RS
The Fairlady Z Version NISMO Type 380RS is one of the rarest factory-supported Z33 derivatives. NISMO produced just 300 road cars, each built around a specially developed naturally aspirated 3.8L V6 and a six-speed manual gearbox. Its chassis, aerodynamics and interior are distinct from an ordinary 350Z, and originality matters as much as mileage when sourcing one.

Factory Grades & Equipment
The Type 380RS is a genuine limited-production NISMO performance model. Although related to the regular Z33 and Version NISMO, its factory 3.8L engine and identifying equipment distinguish it from ordinary 350Z variants.
| Grade | Best for | Key differences |
|---|---|---|
| Ordinary Z33 / 350Z | Base two-seat sports coupe family | Similar body family does not mean a 3.8L NISMO road engine or Type 380RS identity |
| Fairlady Z Version NISMO | Performance-styled NISMO road car | Reinforced structure, aero and suspension — not itself the Type 380RS without the special engine and identifying details |
| Version NISMO Type 380RS | Limited 3.8L 350PS road car | NISMO 3.8L engine with the defining aero, chassis, RAYS forged wheels, Brembo brakes and Type 380RS interior trim/badging |
| Type 380RS-Competition | Track competition model | Separate racing-spec car with its own 400PS racing figures — distinct from the 350PS road car |
Australian Market Pricing
The limited production, 3.8L racing-derived road engine, matched chassis and six-speed manual make the 380RS a collectible performance car. We focus on factory identity, documentation, original engine specification, signs of accident repair and modifications that could affect value or eligibility.
