Does anybody know when and why production was shifted from the plant in Oppama to Tochigi? Or are they built in both plants? The old Z's from 1970 to 96 were all built in Hiratsuka plant. Wonder if there was a problem in Oppama that forced or caused the shift in production?

 

I have no idea.

While we're at it, can someone post the production numbers for each paint code? Someone must have all this information somewhere...

 

Is this what your lookin for? These are for '03 & '04 Models

Lemans Sunset Metallic Clearcoat A17
Redline Clearcoat AX6
Daytona Blue Pearl Metallic Clearcoat B17
Silver Metallic Clearcoat K25
Black Clearcoat KH3
Chrome Silver Metallic Clearcoat KY0
Glacier Pearl Tri-Coat QX1
Silverstone Metallic Clearcoat WV2

 

No, he was looking for the number of cars of each color produced.

I've never seen true numbers - only estimates. I believe somebody did a survey here (un-scientific) and applied those percentages to the total production for the '03 and came up with ballpark guesses.

 

Yeah, can anyone supply some info on this? I'm quite curious myself.

 

The problem at Oppama was tire feathering!!!
350Z production at the Tochigi started in January 2004, same line as the G35. I think all the 2004.5 come from the Tochigi plant.

Nissan moves the Fairlady(350Z) to the Tochigi plant

Nissan moves the Fairlady to the Tochigi plant
Nissan Motor Company has announced that it will transfer production of the Fairlady Z (350Z) and the Fairlady Z Roadster (350Z Roadster) from its Oppama Plant to its Tochigi Plant, with output at Tochigi due to commence in January 2004. The current Fairlady Z has been on sale since the summer of 2002, and sales of the new Fairlady Z Roadster launched on October 1, 2003. Nissan needs the Oppama plant to concentrate on such models as the March (Micra), the Cube and the Cube Cubic. The Fairlady Z is currently produced on the same line as the March. To increase production efficiency, Nissan has decided to transfer production of the Fairlady Z to the Tochigi Plant, where models such as the Skyline (Infiniti G35) are produced using the same platform as the Fairlady Z.
