They don't though. No trademark on file. The only thing that protects it is copyright law, and since it can be shown in court that the Z itself probably drew elements from other previous copyrighted works, Nissan wouldn't have a chance in hell at winning.
Besides, the last thing Nissan wants to do is sue somebody for producing aftermarket parts for one of their cars. That's probably one of the worst things they could ever do for public image in the eyes of people like us.
