1988 300zx Shiro Edition

[muffinman2002]

Hey guys,

I got this car awhile ago but just haven't got around to posting any pictures or anything. Its a 1988 300zx SS with only 90,000 km on it. It sat in an old couples yard for about 16 years. Only 1000 SS (shiro) editions were exported to the states and reportedly on 75 of these were exported to Canada. This is #72 of the 75 Canadian Shiro's. The differences between the shiros and a regular 300zx turbo are:
1) factory recaro seats
2) viscous lsd rear differential
3) pearl white paint
4) unique european front air damn
5) non-adjustable, very firm shocks and springs

The blue stripes you will see on the picture are not stock and are my least favorite thing about the car. I am planning on getting the car repainted to stock as soon as I get enough money (student right now). Even after sitting for so long everything in the car functions perfect, except for the stock stereo which I was going to replace anyways. The engine is a 3.0L turbo putting out about 205 hp. Thats all I can think of for now, so here are some pictures and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.

First of all, the custom shot

Lucky bastard. Those Shiro's are quite nice. I looked forever trying to find a good condition one here in the States, but no such luck and settled on something else for fun. Very nice ride though, bravo!

The car is actually in storage for the winter right now. So I am driving my other car for the winter which is a Taurus SHO. I plan on keeping the shiro as close to stock as possible. It will hold its value better that way and I kinda like the stock look. I have the stock rims for the car too just haven't had time to get a picture of the car with them on it yet.

here are some more pics

Ive never even heard of this edition before :shock: I wonder why it's so unknown amongst Z circles Think you could go to my Z thread and post a little background on it?

[muffinman2002]
