My RHD 260Z starts with RS30.
Is that a Fairlady Z VIN, what is the engine code?

'S30-109459' would be an S30-S 'Fairlady Z' or S30 'Fairlady Z-L' model manufactured in early 1974.

'S30-S' was the 'Standard' no-frills model with 4-speed transmission and no carpets (just rubber mats), no hubcaps and no clock etc.

'S30' was 'Deluxe' model with 5-speed and all the bells and whistles.

Both had L20A engine with dual carbs.

Not to press the point, but it is neither a '240' nor '260'.

'S30' Fairlady Z-L ('Deluxe') model came standard with 2000cc L20A six and 5-speed (FS5C71-B) transmission.

No L28 engine offered in S30 range for Japanese market.
