The 1988 Nissan 300ZX belongs to the Z31 generation of Nissan's iconic Z-car lineup. It stands out as a highly desirable year for collectors because it received an engine power boost and gave birth to the legendary, track-focused Shiro Special edition.
For the 1988 model year, Nissan introduced the updated "W-series" VG30 engine blocks. These featured improved cooling passages and floating wrist pins, resulting in a 5-horsepower increase across all models.
The 1988 model year could be configured in a few body styles:
- 2-Seater (Coupe): Built on a shorter 91.3-inch wheelbase for sportier handling. It was available in both NA and Turbo forms.
- 2+2 (Four-Seater): Extended wheelbase model with a small rear seat. It was only sold with the naturally aspirated engine in the US market.
- T-Top Roof: : Most 1988 models came equipped with removable glass T-Top roof panels.
This car was a part of the Duncan Imports Collection since 2017 and has recently been released for retail sale.
