I'd never heard the 24 oz nickname, John.  That's pretty funny, and I'll never look at a 240Z the same.  
There was a time when Toyota had the MR2 in production that some folks referred to it as the "Mister Two", and I've not been able to forget that one either.

Indeed, we do call it the 240 Zed in conformist circles.

However, within the UK and the classic car environment as a whole, you’ll usually find the big Datsun is referred to as the 24 oz meaning 24 ounce. Same goes for its successor, the 26 ounce. Neither car sold that well in Europe as a whole in its day.
