 | | The Datsun Z cars, which remained popular throughout their history, were among the very first Japanese performance cars shipped to the United States, having arrived in 1969. |
 | | This new engine type did not use a standard crankshaft and piston setup, but instead had a triangular rotor which spins on a center point, snug to the inner walls of the engine housing, moving intake and exhaust gases, as well as fuel, through the four stations of the internal combustion engine. |
 | | This relatively perfected engine was named the 12B, and was the standard engine in the first generation of the RX-7. |
