Looking for a classic Japanese sports car that pays homage to your high school or college days full of video games, digital displays and other genius electronics straight of Japan, Inc? MotoeXotica Classic Cars can help. We are pleased to offer this awesome one owner 1984 Nissan 300ZX Turbo 50th Anniversary Edition. This one-owner, garage-kept car was made in December 1983 in Nissan's Shatai factory in Hiratsuka, Kanagawa, Japan.

We were fortunate to purchase this pristine 50th Anniversary 300ZX from the original owners daughter. The car was willed to her upon her fathers passing and has fond memories of him purchasing the car new in 1984. She believes she knows where the original paperwork is for the car, but has not come upon it to date. It does comes with 2 sets of wheels and tires, both 50th anniversary wheels and one set of black come with the car.

Dressed in Light Pewter Metallic over Thunder Black, (code 365) the car's paint and trim are in overall excellent order with a few minor imperfections seen upon close inspection. The graphics denote the turbocharged engine and that this is an anniversary edition car. The glass panels, including the optional T-top roof panels, are in very good order, clear and intact. The car's lights, including the semi-popup headlights, are in good order. This car rolls on newer tires surrounding the original factory 50th gold wheels. The wheels finned, five-lug wheels are in good overall condition and each one is surrounded by a radial tire, size 225/50R16. The original gold wheels are available.

The car's bodywork is straight and solid overall, the engine bay is tidy, the battery is in very good order, the cargo area is good order and the bumpers fit tightly to the body.

Under that hood with the scoop on the driver's side is a 3.0L SOHC V-6 engine with a Garrett T2 turbocharger mated to a Borg-Warner T5 five-speed manual transmission and backed by a R200 rear end. Driver convenience features include air-conditioning, cruise control, power steering, power four-wheel disc brakes, power mirrors, power windows, remote hatch and fuel filler door releases, rear window defroster, rear wiper and a rear wing.

Inside, the black interior (code T) is in overall as-new condition. The black leather seats with anniversary logos are in near perfect condition and have air bladders within the bolsters to keep driver and passenger in place on curvy roads. The matching carpet and headliner are in similar condition to the seats. The fuel gauge is inoperable but the instrument panel, replete with digital readouts, in also in very good order, as is the factory two-spoke steering wheel. The Anniversary edition 300ZX was the only Nissan model to receive cruise control and stereo functions set into the steering wheel; equipment drivers take for granted today. The inner door panels, mirror glass, center console and shifter are all in good condition. Completing the interior is a factory AM/FM 80-watt stereo with cassette and eight speakers. This model has an extra audio enhancement, Nissan's Body Sonic system, meaning those eight speakers were built into the seats, allowing driver and passenger to feel every bit of bass from their music.

The 1984 300ZX 50th Anniversary Edition, released to celebrate the automaker's half-century, was a turbocharged two-seater coupe. All 50th Anniversary Editions came equipped with a digital dash and ancillary gauges including average mileage, G-force and compass readouts, in-car electronic adjustable shock absorbers, Body sonic speakers in the seats, cruise and radio controls in the steering wheel, mirrored T-tops, embroidered leather seats, embroidered floor mats, 16-inch aluminum wheels, rear fender flares, flared front fenders, a 50th AE logo badge on the driver's side front fender and grey cloth indoor car cover with 50AE printing. The only option available to the 50th Anniversary Edition owner was the choice between an automatic or a five-speed manual transmission. Five thousand, one hundred forty-eight AE models were produced for the U.S. market and of those, only 3,712 came with the manual transmission.

Unlike its predecessors, the Z31 featured a V6 engine, a single overhead cam engine available as a naturally aspirated VG30E or a turbocharged VG30ET. The W-series engines featured redesigned water jackets for additional cooling and fully floating piston wrist pins. The 1984 to 1987 turbo models featured a Garrett T3 turbocharger with a 7.8:1 compression ratio. Finally, these engines were equipped with self-adjusting hydraulic valve lifters.
