The Nissan 300ZX was part of the third and fourth generations of z-cars produced by the Nissan Motor Company. Z31 (single) and Z32 (twin) were the sports car’s chassis designations.
The car features a V6 naturally-aspirated engine with a 3.0 liter fuel capacity. The 300ZX name followed the naming scheme initiated by former Nissan Motors USA president Yutaka Katayama that started with the 240Z. The “X” in the name supposedly signifies luxury.
The name was used in all of Nissan’s markets, except in Japan, where all Z-cars were referred to as the “Fairlady Z”.The car’s design followed closely after the car that it replaced, the 280ZX. Two special editions, the 50th anniversary edition to commemorate Nissan’s 50 years in 1984, and the Shiro Special in 1988 were manufactured with performance and luxury upgrades.
Estimated Price Range for Used Nissan 300ZX: $1,000-$10,000
Estimated MPG for Nissan 300ZX: 16 City/22 Hwy

The last Nissan Z300ZX units were manufactured in Japan up to August 2000.

Other awards given to it were “Import Car of the Year” by Motor Trend, Car and Driver ‘s “Ten Best” list for 7 straight years, and Automobile Magazine’s “All-Stars” cast from 1990-1994. Even after production of the 300ZX was stopped, it continued to earn distinction among automotive publications.
