2022 Super Treasure Hunt. Nightburnerz series in Spectraflame Orange — car 054 of 250, designed by Jun Imai with rubber-tyre RR8DOT Real Riders wheels.
About the Datsun 240Z Super Treasure Hunt
This Datsun 240Z (Toy # HRQ34) is the 2022 Super Treasure Hunt from the Nightburnerz series — car 054 of 250 in the year’s line-up. The casting comes from Jun Imai, one of the most respected Japanese car designers in the Hot Wheels studio, and it nails the long-nose, fastback proportions of the original S30. Where the regular mainline wears ordinary paint and plastic wheels, this Super Treasure Hunt version is finished in deep Spectraflame Orange and rides on RR8DOT Real Riders wheels with rubber tyres.
Quick answer: Datsun 240Z – what it is, what to check before buying, typical SA prices in Rand and where to find one locally. Full details below.
Super Treasure Hunts are the chase cars of the Hot Wheels world: they look like the mainline release on the pegs, but the Spectraflame paint and rubber tyres give them away to collectors who know what to look for — along with the gold flame symbol behind the car on the card. UPC 194735000109 identifies this exact release, and the collector number 054/250 is printed on the blister for easy reference.
At an SA market value of R 499.95, this Z-car sits well above mainline pricing — exactly the premium collectors expect for a Super Treasure Hunt. It pairs naturally with the Nissan Skyline GT-R (BNR34), the other Nightburnerz model in our index. With the S30’s reputation still rising, it is a card worth protecting.
The Real Datsun 240Z
The real Datsun 240Z arrived in 1969 — badged Fairlady Z in Japan — and it changed the sports car market almost overnight. A 2.4-litre straight-six, independent suspension all round and stunning looks gave it the pace and poise of far more expensive European machinery, and American buyers queued for it. Well over a hundred thousand were sold in the United States alone during its production run, and the car proved itself in competition too, winning its class in SCCA production racing.
The 240Z founded the Z-car dynasty that runs to the present day, and clean originals are now serious collector cars in their own right. Values for good road cars have climbed steadily over the past decade. It is also one of the most popular castings Hot Wheels produces — this casting in any series tends to be among the first cars gone from the pegs.
Why Collect the Datsun 240Z
For collectors, a Super Treasure Hunt 240Z ticks every box: a beloved Jun Imai JDM casting, the most desirable segment in the mainline range, and a colour that shows off the Spectraflame finish beautifully. If you collect mint-on-card, inspect the blister and card edges carefully — Super Treasure Hunts are handled by everyone who spots them. Loose, the rubber-tyre Real Riders wheels make it one of the best-rolling display cars in the Nightburnerz set. Either way, it is the headline car of the 2022 Nightburnerz line-up.
