1988 Shiro Special on BAT

[Mike]

Saw this today on BAT.  Looks like a decent condition 1988 300ZX, if you're into these cars it looks like a well-kept ride.

This 1988 Nissan 300ZX Turbo shows 89k miles and is one of about 1,000 Shiro Special Editions sold in the US. The car is powered by a turbocharged 3.0 liter V6 paired to a 5-speed manual transmission and remained with its original owner until purchased by the seller three years ago. The Shiro Special was only produced in 1988 and weighed 125 pounds less than a standard 300ZX Turbo by doing away with many of the electronic features. It was equipped with Moon Glow Pearl White paint, Recaro seats, conventional suspension, analog instruments, and a viscous limited slip differential. This example is sold with a clean AutoCheck and a clean North Carolina title in the seller’s name.

Being a 240Z guy, I don't pay enough attention to the later Zs, so this is the first time that I have ever heard of the Shiro Special Edition, very cool, Mike! 

The only thing that I'm not so crazy about are the white wheels, but overall a very nice car.

I remember seeing a car like this in the Nissan showroom in 1988 when I was buying parts for my '71.  It would be fun to have if I had a bigger garage.

Shiro's are actually pretty rare cars. They are also unusual in they have the viscous limited slip rear differential. However if you buy a Shiro rear end be sure and get the half shafts as they are unique to this car...
