I have always read that the immediate cause was the sales volume of the
240Z, but with the regulations that had already forced changes to the
roadsters; high windshield, padded dash, smog pumps, side markers, &
larger reflectors on the rear of the 70s, Datsun was probably happy to have
the sales success of the 240Z and not too sad to say good-bye to the R16 &
U20.

Anyone know what the actual reasons for Nissan's decision to drop the
roadster?
