The Nissan Fairlady Z was built from 1984 to 2020.
The Z31 300ZX Turbo, the most traded version: The Z31 300ZX Turbo marked Nissan's serious entry into the performance car market, establishing the foundation for the legendary Z32 that followed. Kazumasa Takagi's design perfectly captured 1980s automotive optimism with its wedge profile and pop-up headlights. The turbocharged VG30ET V6 delivered 200hp—impressive for its era and a significant leap from naturally aspirated predecessors. While 6.7-second acceleration seems modest today, the Z31 Turbo offered genuine sports car performance at an accessible price point. The T-top configuration became iconic, defining the 1980s sports car aesthetic. With 150,000 units produced over six years, clean examples are becoming increasingly rare as many suffered from poor maintenance or modification. Collectors now appreciate the Z31's historical significance as the car that revitalized the Z lineage. Original, unmodified turbos in good condition command growing premiums, particularly in desirable colors like red or black.
