Modified 1995 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo 5-Speed

This 1995 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo was acquired by the seller in 2017 and subsequently modified with installation of a replacement 3.0L VG30DETT V6 fitted with a Concept Z Performance (CZP) G5 Garrett ball-bearing twin-turbo kit. Further modifications include a Haltech Elite 2000 ECU, a Jim Wolf Technology (JWT) dual air intake system, Rob’Z billet throttle bodies, AshSpec side-mount intercoolers, Mike Smith Performance (MSP) exhaust manifolds, a Specialty Z stainless-steel exhaust system, a CZP front big-brake kit, Powertrix adjustable coilovers, 18″ Niche wheels, revised bodywork, and a custom stereo system. The car is finished in red over a Charcoal leather interior and features Super HICAS four-wheel steering, a five-speed manual transmission, a limited-slip differential, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, automatic climate control, and removable glass roof panels. This modified Z32 shows 171k kilometers (~106k miles) and is now offered in Canada with manufacturer’s literature, 2022 dynamometer results, spare parts, a car cover, a clean Carfax report, and Alberta registration in the seller’s name.

The car left the factory finished in Ultra Red (AJ4) with removable glass roof panels. It has since been fitted with Japanese-market bodywork including a 1998 model year facelift-style front bumper cover and revised taillights and side markers. Further modifications include a TwinZ Design nose panel and rear diffuser as well as Kaminari side skirts with door fillers. The seller states that the front end was repainted in June 2018 following dent repair and that XPEL paint protection film has been applied to the exterior. An imperfection is noted near the base of the rear spoiler, scuffing is visible on the underside of the front bumper, and paint protection film is lifting at various places around the body.

The 18″ Niche Missano are wrapped with 225/40 front and 265/35 rear General G-max tires, and H&R 25mm wheel spacers are fitted up front. The car is equipped with Super HICAS four-wheel steering and independent multi-link suspension. Suspension and braking modifications include:

Powertrix Sport Street adjustable coilovers with Swift lowering springs
Powertrix carbon-fiber adjustable front tension rods
Powertrix adjustable rear camber arms
Energy Suspension sway bar bushings
Specialty Z subframe spacers
CZP brake master cylinder brace
CZP front big-brake kit with PowerStop four-piston calipers
Drilled and slotted brake rotors
ISR Performance braided stainless-steel brake hoses

The two-place cabin is equipped with bucket seats upholstered in Charcoal leather as well as a color-coordinated dashboard, center console, and door panels. Factory equipment includes automatic climate control, cruise control, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, and power windows, mirrors, and door locks. The custom stereo features an Alpine ILX-W650 head unit and MRV-M500 amplifier along with a JL Audio subwoofer and speakers. The dash light bulbs have reportedly been replaced with LED units, and the stitching is separating on the driver’s seat.

The four-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts a tachometer with a 7k-rpm redline accompanied by a 260-km/h speedometer as well as gauges for coolant temperature, turbo boost pressure, oil pressure, and fuel level. A gauge pod mounted to the steering column houses a Haltech multifunction display as well as an Autolite oil pressure gauge. The six-digit odometer shows 171k kilometers (~106k miles), approximately 35k of which were added under current ownership.

The replacement 3.0L VG30DETT V6 was reportedly sourced from an imported donor car and installed in June 2022 along with a CZP/Zero G5 ball-bearing twin-turbo kit featuring modified Garrett GT2554R turbochargers. Additional parts and components are said to include:

Haltech Elite 2000 ECU
JWT dual air intake system
Rob’Z 62mm billet throttle bodies
NISMO 740cc fuel injectors
AMS Motorsports turbocharger inlet piping
Stainless-steel coolant and oil turbocharger feed lines

Dynamometer results from 2022 list peak engine output of 572 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Additional drivetrain modifications reportedly include:

NISMO transmission mount
South Bend Clutch (SBC) stage 3 clutch assembly
CZP heavy duty clutch fork kit
Z1 Motorsports stainless-steel braided clutch line

The seller notes a fluid leak from the differential.
