1988 Nissan 300ZX


The Z31 generation of Nissan's 300ZX got a light styling refresh for the 1987 model year, slightly softening the creased lines of the original.

The 300ZX continued the evolution from sports car to grand tourer that the 280ZX had first really leaned into. For 1988 the US version of the 3.0L SOHC VG30E V-6 was rated at 165 SAE net horsepower, but since it was the Turbo version that was expected to carry the performance banner, this was more than enough to compete with the lower-spec V-8s in cars like the Camaro RS.


This immaculate Platinum Mist example was photographed in October of 2025 using an Olympus PEN E-P5 and an M. Zuiko Digital 12-45mm f/4 PRO zoom lens.
