as above. was just surfing the net looking for interesting zed "stuff" and came across this. didnt know there was any limited edition versions in 1991 and 1995 known as the SMZ 300zx :confused: ! cant find any pictures or much spec about it. has anyone got one of these?

was trying to find some info on the version R 300zx..........dreaming this could be my next car!

info here m8

 

Exterior modification on the SMZ include a tall rear wing, new front air dam, side skirts, rear facia, and ducted air cleaner panel (the body panel between the headlights). Inside the car, carbon fiber cladding was found on the door handle surrounds, center console, and gear shift knob. Razo aluminum pedals were added as well.

 

Engine modifications included a new intake manifold and air filter, a free flowing cat-back exhaust, and an extra 2-psi of boost. These changes resulted in 365 bhp @ 6500 rpm and 332 lb-ft torque @ 3500 rpm.

 

Yokohama AVS tires and wheels were specified (255/40ZR17s up front on 9-in. rims and 275/35ZR18s on 9.5-in. rims on the rear). Rounding out the suspensions upgrades were stiffer springs and larger anti-sway bars.

yes, nice they are too, only available in the states though

Really would love that bodykit. That car looks very nice. Good colour too. ;)

looks lovely gotta say gaz... hows the pooch doin mate.. lol.. still mad??

 

you'll be happy to know i'm looking after the car Gaz, bumpers in bodyshop, lights are sparklingly clean and ready for the new 100w bulbs, seats are going back in tomorrow after a full black leather retrim by a pro (red piping), new rear spoiler is in the bodyshop ready to go on also, as will the car be when its drivable for the finishing touches to the bodywork... wheels have been fully refurbed but might put 18's on it yet, not sure...

Body kit is a standard Stillen front spoiler and Stillen Type111 side skirts and rear bumper, Spoiler is also Stillen type111 all as fitted to my verry own car (see rides)

 

Chris...

I'm pretty sure I saw one of those whilst I was in the States, looked exactly like that although at the time I had no idea of the pedigree. Very nice indeed. Would love one... in fact I'd love to keep my own zed, but since I can't even manage that I think the SMZ is probably a bit out of my league, even if you could get one here.

so what's the craic with the intake manifold? anyone got any pics/info on that?

Where these all swb targa models ?

Not sure if its the same car as the STZ but steve millen (founder of stillen) also made a GTZ a SWB-TT with larger tubbies, intercooler, injectors, ect.

0-60 IN 5SECS AND A 1/4MILE OF 13.5 secs, the GTZ had no bodykit as such

just a slightly lower rear bumper, taller spoiler and air vents behind each wheel.

just been reading about it in a book :D :D

Love the wheels who are they by? I know it says Yokohama but not found any more information on them after a quick look on google.

I think the tyres are Yoko's but the alloys are another make.

Same wheels as I've got on mine!

 

They are by Gewalt, dunno what the model name is though.

Same wheels as on this NSX as well but they are the Yoko's mentioned in the SMZ spec?!

 

These are very similar to the wheels on my car, but mine don't have the bolts around the edge, and are a lot deeper than these.

Only avalible in red white and blue there was one repainted yellow pearl for racing though .All swb tt targas you also got smz jacket thrown in with the price.
