The z32 was the best Z car ever made. I love the original gen 240z and even the 280z, but when the z32tt was introduced it became a true world class sports car. No other z has done that.
I love this car so much,ive been obsessed with this car for almost 10 years.If i ever hit the lotto...im buying two,one to be completely stock and mint...and the other one modified to the teeth and running insane amount of power.
I bought me a 94 NA and even then the thing is still bar none the best car I have ever owned. I currently daily it and no matter what I try to do with this thing it just cuts its way through the air doing it. The thing is damn impressive, and crazy fun to drive theres really no other feeling like darting around in one of these. If you dont got one, get it yo
Had this model years ago. really miss it. Have an 88 in resto- now, can't wait til she's done. Want to by a second Z32 TT and use as a daily drive. Hard to believe this car was designed so well that you can use her to run errands for the family and after you've finished the chores, take her straight to the track!!!
I owned a white 300zx Twin turbo in 2005 which was Auto. Loved it, but I have just put down a deposit to buy another Red 300zx Twin Turbo Manual. Can't wait to get my hands on it. Its also a shame that these cars are either disappearing from the roads as they get sent to the wrecking yards or find themselves in the hands of some punk who modifies it into a trashy piece of junk. Mine will be kept immaculate and mostly original Nissan specs. !990's Japanese sports cars....those were they days. This car has to go down as one of the best cars of all time. Even for today its specs are at the top of the game. Back in 1989 when they released this car it had performance and features that even the European cars did not have. Sex on wheels!
Ichi Ichi helll yeaaaaah you understand US NISSAN LOVERS 💪💪💪💪 NISSAN for Life i drive a sickasss Maxima 07 just in Love and i have a list of a shitlaod of Nissans ill be buying to like the Silvia and the 240sx and all the Z models
I love my 300zx twin turbo... the only thing I don't like is that there is no room at all to work in the engine bay... They've managed to fit a big 3L twin turbo V6 in a small and very shallow engine bay so there is nothing accessible. I had to remove so many things just to access the power steering pump and the alternator.
This is quite possibly one of the coolest videos I have ever seen! I own 2 300ZX's. A 1990 Twin Turbo and a 1990 Non Turbo. I had a 2011 370Z and it doesn't even compare to the awesomeness that is the 300ZX Twin Turbo.
I first had a 1990 2+2 z and wanted to sell it. I went to test drive a 370znismo. got back into my old z and concluded. the 370znismo had nothing on my 2+2. I now own a 90 tt z and will never sell it.
My favorite Z would be the 2005 350Z Special 35th Anniversary Edition, in Vibrant Yellow paint...it comes with the updated 3.5 VQ Engine which produced an even 300HP!!! 2004 and older 350Z's made 287HP, but sure for a small 2 seater sports car 287HP is pretty much all you need! but I would still prefer to get the extra 13HP, especially when the price difference between a 2004 Z and 2005 Z is practically $0.... Another reason why I would prefer 2005 350Z is the updated headlights and taillights, the headlights look the same as before but with new BiXenon Projector bulb's....but the best design update that really stands out to me, the new LED Taillights that looks absolutely gorgeous at night....the interior also has a few minor changes, like the in cabin materials, they supposed to be a little better quality.
lol come on man ... the 370z is a world of a difference of a car. Safety, interior comfort, technology, LIGHTING, faster, NA, 6 speed, just everything is extremely refined in later vehicles. Dont take this the wrong way, I'm not bashing the 300zx, it was a great car for its time, but be realistic when comparing cars 30 years apart. Its like saying your 1990's color tube TV that still works is an amazing piece of technology since it plays VHS tapes and is super shiny, vs a new flat screen lcd tv. As amazing as the 300zx and supras of that time were, we cant negate the fact that newer vehicles are far superior.
@@oneeyedrone4293 in some ways technically better mainly from being more modern, but certainly not as interesting technology wise. And definitely not from a stylistic standpoint. The Z32 300ZX is pretty much universally recognized as a timeless design that's aged extremely well & will continue to do so. The same certainly can't be said for the 350/370Z series, Nismo or otherwise, which to make matters worse is a shared platform w/Infiniti to cut costs. The Z32 is a totally unique platform, designed ground up to be a world class sports car(granted, in the late '80's). Even crucial welds on the chassis were done by hand. None of this applies to the 350/370Z. While certainly not perfect, it's also commonly recognized the quality of materials on the Z32 is superior to the 2 latter versions. For all these reasons the collectablility of Z32's is proving greater, & this gap will continue increasing over time. The 350/370Z's are cool cars no doubt, but sports cars destined to become highly desirable classics like a 911, 308, or the Z32 don't count on it. Unlike the Z32 they certainly aren't groundbreaking by any stretch...
Back in the day when people were generally clever enough to understand basic technical information! All people know these days about their cars is "it does 0-60 in..."
ichi ichi your right Budd This car was and is a JDM legend 300zx it's unique piece of art Keep it up Nissan hope one Day u bring back this rare beauty once again and show what Nissan has to offer
Absolutely. Personally I think the front grill looks better on the na's, the car is lighter and it still produces 222hp without the turbo's. I think the z32 is just an around good looking car though.
Just found me a 177k mile Black '96 Twin Turbo completely stock for $10k, immaculate interior with minor dents in the hood from acorns, no rust at all. Super-HICAS still works and everything. Engine/Tranny were rebuilt 20k miles ago, have the paperwork in the glove box, over $4k of work. Had to choose between this an an '85 Grand National, probably would have went with the GN except it was a hot-air version (no intercooler) and only made 200hp for that boat of a car. Love them both, but I think I made the right decision. These 90's Japanese Sports Cars (Supra, 300zxTT, 3000GT VR-4, RX-7) are going to be the next 60's muscle-esque classics. I have the rarest year model, only 577 turbos were made in 96, including the last 300, and only a fraction of them were manual. Hate to say it, but if this thing ever gets up to current MK4 Supra prices, Im gonna have to part with it. PS: How is this thing quicker than my 91 Trans Am GTA? Trans Am: 5.7L V8 - 245hp, 345lb-ft, 4spd auto, 3,300lbs, 245/245 -- 0-60: 6.3s 300zx: 3.0L V6 - 300hp, 283lb-ft, 5spd manual, 3,500lbs, 225/245 -- 0-60: 5.4s Differences: +55hp, -62lb-ft, +200lbs
Had a 91 pearl black on black, best car ever! Stage 7, miss her, a lot of work I put in. Rocking an 86 300zx widebody "chuki" still trying to find my old Z, went to cali, now in Arizona. It was in mags, can't find it. 17yrs ago if I remember.
my favorite quote from this video: "here you have a car that's as striking at rest, as it is in motion" finally i found the perfect wording to describe our Z32's sexiness!

What spec/color? So rare, prob last time I saw one had to be 8 yrs ago at the salvage yd of my dad's friend - sadly a stripped Cherry Red met. Strangely body was clean basically just needed psgr fender. Prob could've got shell for $500 or even less, but nowhere to put it. Hate to think what came of it...people can be so dumb!
skyline owners will never understand i had both the skyline after the z33 TT 2+2....selling the z is the biggest mistake i ever did I always wanted one wen i had it it was my second car...I use to pull it outta the garage on a Friday night and spend all weekend in it...The z32 wen you sit in the wrap around cockpit is something else......especially with the roof off....man i wikk have another one b4 I die and I'll have that one till i die... one word .....AGELESS!
When I was a child Nissan Z was my dream car. now my age is 35 and recently have a 1987 Nissan 300ZX Turbo. because of the price I can't buy a 90-91 model.
My dad has one in near mint condition, red ,black leather interior , manual...with about 60,000 miles on it.. .I don't get to drive it that often but it is heaven when I do
Makes me so mad that I sold mine it was the most awesome car it absolutely drove like a gem only 120000 km on the clock that's like 60000 miles and was in immaculate condition. All stock except the crime 17" rims god I miss my car😥
I had same, a 2-seater stick in Glacier Pearl Metallic. Am slightly over 6' 2" myself & had no problem getting in. Even on a bad day, grab the outer T-top frame & swing in. Getting out sure kept the legs in shape, but still miss that car!
People really take the technology used in these cars for granted. Today, nothing all too special, however, it was designed in the 1980s, and released in 1989.. Just look at them.....there isn't a bad angle....projector headlamps, In 1989 in America that was unheard of. Sure they were expensive, but they were also STUPID fast (for the time), and they had a pretty refined interior. most importantly, you can get one with low miles today for less than $10,000.
Always loved the wedge shape design of the Z32. A buddy of mine had a black N/A with T-Tops back in high school. It was a fun car, but nowhere near as amazing as the R35 GT-R he got a little over a decade later
It's a Nissan, it's reliable as a rock. My friend has two of these and nothing has gone wrong with them in 3 years that he has owned them.. its just pure solid Japanese engineering. Parts are available though, if needed
Z32 is the chassis code for 90-96 model years. Previous code was Z31. Engine is a 3.0 liter, not 3.2. Engine code is VG30DETT. Middle of the road power these days (medium mods) is around 450-500 wheel HP. Most guys are running 5-600 wheel HP. More massaging and 1000 HP is not unheard of. If you think 300 crank HP is fun, try 500+.

More than 20 years old and still looks good
Now 30
very timeless look. Dream car and i dont even like sports car usually
@@flusteredweasel7483 and looks even better
In my opinion the best looking car Nissan ever made
NOW 30 AND IF YOU BRING ONE TO A CAR MEET YOU ARE THE KING PASSING SUPRAS AND MODERN GTR
TOP GEAR says this is the car of the Century ...
I dont remember that. Do you know in wich episode they featured the z ?
No matter what car you get, if you glance back at it every time you are in a parking lot, you made the right choice!

Got a White 91 TT! Love this car! Currently 442 whp! Plus it looks great!
Wow, the 300zx really feels more like an 80s car haha. Has that Miami Vice feel, sweet!
I LOVE nostalgic stuff like this. 90s is where it's at.
I bought me a 94 NA and even then the thing is still bar none the best car I have ever owned. I currently daily it and no matter what I try to do with this thing it just cuts its way through the air doing it.

THIS is the nissan i know and love.
The best Nissan Z
i love my 91 2seat 300zxTT
90-96 The best looking z
Loved this car since I was little, the shape caught my eye and I've been stuck on them ever since.
The VG30DE/VG30DETT looks so majestic, best looking engine ever.

I'm with you. I've resisted the urge to modify my '96, save for a better exhaust system. 16,000 miles on my pristine baby.
Leibo R Raibstein just watched this. Got 246,000 on my '90. All stock non-TT :)
***** Wow! Keep it up!

sexy350Zowner that’s the point owning it and loving it from the inside out. 300zx is life.i had to take them off too get at the boost feed😂
Basically the best video I've seen all day.
When Nissan was at it's peak. That 1990 twin turbo z gave Corvette a bloody nose that year. They actually started from a blank sheet of paper.
So much this. Park this next to basically anything today, especially with the 2k spec updates, and it looks right at home. Not even slightly dated.
The TT 300zx is still IMO one of the greatest cars of all time I love mine

The R35 I feel has followed in 300ZX footsteps. Man I wish I could go back in time and bring this 300zx to the future.

And you have almost 70 more horsepower than I have in my 240SX!
I had 2 in Japan. A turbo and then an N/A..both 2+2.. i miss em! My most loved car i ever owned. I might get another one day!

Yea.. as an option.
You CAN get N/A versions stock also.

this is a beautiful car !!!
I have a Targa 2+2 NA and its probably the coolest car a poor person (like myself) can buy. I don't think I will ever sell it.
The subwoofer part killed it, this is a sports car!
Omg it's the stig in the end!
Always loved the wedge shape design of the Z32. A buddy of mine had a black N/A with T-Tops back in high school. It was a fun car, but nowhere near as amazing as the R35 GT-R he got a little over a decade later
