The Nissan Z was built from 1990 to 1996.
The 300ZX Twin Turbo, the most traded version: Toshio Yamashita's Z32 300ZX Twin Turbo stands as Japan's definitive supercar of the 1990s, delivering exotic performance at a fraction of European prices. The twin-turbocharged VG30DETT V6 produced 300hp—genuine supercar territory when launched in 1990. Five-second acceleration and 155mph capability matched contemporary Ferraris, while Nissan's advanced technology included four-wheel steering and sophisticated suspension. The Z32's complex engineering made it expensive to produce, ultimately limiting sales but ensuring exclusivity today. Clean, unmodified examples have become increasingly collectible, particularly in desirable colors like Cherry Pearl or Aztec Red. The manual transmission is essential for collectors—automatics lack the engagement that makes these special. Values have appreciated significantly, with pristine turbos commanding strong premiums. The Z32 represents the peak of Japanese sports car ambition, combining cutting-edge technology with stunning design that still looks contemporary today.
