Bleach Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 I don't think it was. Post pics of the Datsun brochure showing yellow from the factory if you have it. Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 S30's where available in 919 Yellow, 112 Yellow (which was more of a green but is labeled yellow) and 411 Sunburst Yellow (only available on the 77 ZZZap) dont think yellow was a stock ZX color tho Quote Link to comment
Burabuda Posted June 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 ok this doesn't look factory. more like "go green" but this must be factory color. still can't find a usa car though Quote Link to comment
Duncan Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 anybody have pics please post 'em :cool: Did a super quick search and found a 1984 Color Chart, but I think the ZX went to 1982? http://www.tcpglobal.com/autocolorlibrary/aclchip.aspx?image=1984-nissan-pg01.jpg Found a 1980 280zx color chart, and no yellow in the US. http://www.zhome.com/History/10thAE/1980datsuncolorguide.htm Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Did a super quick search and found a 1984 Color Chart, but I think the ZX went to 1982? 300zx from '84 on. There is a yellow touch up paint # KU101 65078 for the '79 zx. Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 but this must be factory color. still can't find a usa car though dont know if thats a stock yellow or not, that cars got 280z mags on it (ie not ZX stock Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Its interesting that the lime green actually is a factory color. It is extremely rare though. I think it was a promotion in a magazine where you could win the green car. (1979) I remember it was fewer than the black/red 10th anniv so less than 500 released. Quote Link to comment

SHADY280 Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 franks280zx 2+2 in the netherlands is i believe factory yellow. he is a hybridz member. that green car looks like skittles car from hybridz as well, but could be someone elses. i had no clue that green was factory, or winnable factory. cool fact Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 This is the car I was thinking of. It is 1983 though. I thought the lime green was a 1979 feature so maybe they are two separate things. The lime green could be a rare factory color and the sweepstakes green might have been a repaint by the Midori company. Quote Link to comment
yellowdatsun Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 While I don't believe I've ever seen a factory yellow 280ZX, this one looks mighty purdy: Quote Link to comment
hughdogz Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 ^^ Thats Mike Hintz's car that Ron and Paul helped build. He calls it "butterscotch" color. We joke and call it "Parkay" :lol: Quote Link to comment
quinnsorig Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 So I know this post is very old and probably dead however I just got a low milage 1 owner 1979 280zx in factory yellow. Came across this post while researching rarity and I seems like there are very few yellow ones out there. 2 Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 Yes, very few if any. I don't know if this tread even confirmed if the yellow 280ZX color was factory or just well done aftermarket paint jobs. Have you looked under your spare tire and under the carpet just to see if everything matches? Quote Link to comment
quinnsorig Posted September 3 Report Share Posted September 3 Everything is yellow. All original paint except for the left quarter panel and driver door. From my research possibly pretty rare. Also found out it is low production number. 6/78 1128 on the serial. Quote Link to comment
iceman510 Posted September 3 Report Share Posted September 3 Is the paint code 650? https://xenonzcar.com/s130/colorchart.html Quote Link to comment
quinnsorig Posted September 3 Report Share Posted September 3 Yes. Had to check when I got home. Sticker on the rad support is faded but definitely says 650. Quote Link to comment
