This is a 1988 Nissan 300zx Turbo. More specifically, a Shiro Special. Only 1000 of these were made in 1988 and sold for $1000 more than regular turbo Z's of the time. So what's different about the SS?

No options; all are identical
- 1000 made between 1/88 and 3/88
- part of "Nissan White Sale"
- VG30ET engine
- BW T-5 manual transmission
- Viscous LSD
- two-seater
- T-tops
- black interior
- cloth Recaro seats
- exclusive Pearl White paint (returned as a regular option for '89)
- exclusive white 16" wheels
- exclusive "European" air dam
- Analog dash
- AM/FM cassette
- non-adjustable suspension, very tight
- regular climate controls (sliders)
(thanks zhome.com)

I acquired the Z by trading a 1986 VW Vanagon! I thought it was the steal of the century. There are some mechanical things that need work, but that's the fun part!

Car as of Spring 2004
