Stunning 1 owner 1990 Nissan 300ZX twin turbo! The 1990 Nissan 300ZX smoothed out the sharp edges of the previous generation model, resulting in a sleeker aerodynamic appearance. The pop-up headlights were gone, replaced by fixed headlights that slanted at over 60 degrees. Lamborghini would later use those stylish headlights, under license, for its Diablo supercar. Air intakes were built into a lower apron to help with cooling the V6 power plant (located just behind). The car featured bold ‘Twin Turbo’ badging at the rear, distinguishing it from the less powerful naturally aspirated models. Also, the 300ZX Twin Turbo was offered only as a T-top model in America. It’s easy to see why Car and Driver described the interior of the 1990 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo as one of the most beautiful and efficiently designed sports car cockpits of that era. The instrument panel is well laid out with gauges that are clear and easy to read. Various controls are mounted on easy-to-reach pods surrounding the wheel, reducing the risk of distractions while driving. The sport bucket seats, extremely comfortable, came covered with fabric or premium leather as part of a $1,000 option package. The non-turbo versions got a 2+2 seat configuration, but the Twin Turbo variants were strictly 2-seater coupes for the American market. The Z-32 300ZX Twin Turbo got the same 3.0-litre V6 that powered the naturally aspirated model. It generated 222-hp at 6,400 rpm even without turbos to spool things up. That was more than the power output of the previous-gen 1984 300ZX Twin Turbo. For the 1990 300ZX Twin Turbo, Nissan introduced a potent ‘party trick’ in the form of twin Garrett Turbochargers and dual intercoolers that dialled things up several notches. It pushed the peak output to 300-hp, placing it ahead of cars like the C4 Corvette, Acura NSX, and the Porsche 944 Turbo. Call319-462-1129 with any questions!
