ZCCW - Z-Car History
1984-1989 300ZX (Z31)
|
Designed to share the familiar Z-car silhouette, the 300ZX was given its own strikingly individual lines. Performance was also improved, thanks to a new generation 3.0 liter V6 engine, the heart and soul for both the normally aspirated and turbocharged model. Turbo models offered driver-adjustable shock absorbers as well as larger tires and wheels. In moving the car upscale, Nissan had stressed luxury over all-out performance, successfully responding to a similar shift in consumer tastes. But as the 80's waned, marketers forecasted a downturn in the Z's traditional buyer segment. For the 90's, people were moving back to basics, and when it came to sports cars, that meant a return to the true performance tradition.
