The first car of the Z line was the 1969 Fairlady Z, also known as a Datsun 240z in the states. The earlier models of the Nissan Z were built at the Nissan Shatai plant in Hiratsuka until 2000, while the later models 350Z and 370Z are built at Oppama 2002–2004 and Tochigi 2004–present There are many other “Zs’’ around. The closest cars to the 350z are the 300zx and the 240z. After the Nissan 300ZX was withdrawn from the U.S. market in 1996, Nissan tried to keep the Z name alive by re-creating the 240Z the following year. When the 240z went to the Detroit motor show, Nissan thought it looked to old, and retro looking, so Nissan redesigned it in 2000, but was never released.
