1984 Datsun 300ZX

Gateway Classic Cars of Charlotte is proud to digitally present this 1984 Nissan 300ZX Turbo.

This 300ZX seems to have it all: speed! Handling! Braking! Overhead cams! A turbocharger! All the modern GT goodies are present and accounted for in one neat package.

This awesome little import is like taking a turbo-charged trip down memory lane when the future was digital and every convenience had an easy-to-reach button. Whether you need to deploy the power radio antenna, lower the power windows, adjust the side mirrors, adjust the suspension firmness, or engage the BodySonic Amplifiers, among so many more functions, 3-way electronically adjustable shocks, there is a control knob or button in the cockpit for you to do so! The T-Tops and gold graphics give this well-sorted Japanese classic an unmistakable look!

The 300ZX, like its predecessors, was known as a Nissan in other parts of the world. Designed by Kazumasu Takagi and his team of developers, the 300ZX improved aerodynamics and increased power compared to its predecessor, the 280ZX. The newer chassis had the same wheelbase and MacPherson strut/semi-trailing arm independent suspension, but it handled and accelerated better than the 280ZX.

The newer Z-car had a drag coefficient of 0.30 and was powered by Japan's first mass-produced V6 engine instead of an inline 6. According to Nissan, the V6 engine was supposed to re-create the spirit of the original Fairlady Z. Configured as a turbocharged single overhead cam 3.0L V6 (VG30ET, used in 300ZX Turbo), the Z31 platform had electronic fuel injection (EFI) and was rear-wheel driven. Even when saddled with an automatic transmission, the 300ZX was one of the fastest cars on the market in that era.
