About the Nissan Fairlady Z Twin Turbo (Z32)

The Z32 Fairlady Z Twin Turbo was one of Nissan's most advanced road cars of the early 1990s. The VG30DETT, four-wheel steering on many versions and a low, wide chassis gave it serious performance and a grand-touring feel. It also packed a lot of hardware into a very tight engine bay, which is why buying one cheaply is rarely wise.
