Yeah was a bit gutted really as it looked and sounded fantastic in the sales blurb. Would make a great little project for someone with the time and money to make it shine though and it has an exceptional documented history.

Always something hey? ? Went to see it today and sadly it's nowhere near as good in the flesh as it is in the pictures. Needs a new interior and was a bit shabby in general, especially the paintwork and trim. Has the look of a car that hasn't really been cherished.

Many thanks Andrew that's great. Obviously a genuine car. ?

Thanks again all. Hopefully be a proper member of the club soon ?

Thanks Richard ?

Thanks Richard, much more confident about bidding on it now. Was worried someone had just dressed it up to look like the turbo. But yeah, it does look good. I've wanted one ever since I saw one in a Nissan showroom 30 years ago so hoping it lives up to the dream.

Thank you all for the replies, really appreciate your insight. I didn't realise the later cars didn't have the boost gauge. It's a 1996 car so definitely towards the end of the production run. @Andrew G, yes, that's the one on Car & Classic.

Hi, I'm about to bid on a 300ZX which was imported from Japan a few years ago. The car is advertised as a completely original 1996 Twin Turbo but I'm a little suspicious as there is no boost pressure gauge on the speedo. The car does have the intercooler inlets on the lower front bumper and the VIN plate codes do suggest it's a turbo model. Has anyone else encountered a turbo model that doesn't have the boost pressure gauge though? My understanding is that it was standard fit in all sales markets. The car was converted from km to mls when it was imported and all I can think is that the dashboard was replaced at that time, with this glaring oversight not noticed. Still, I'm a bit suspicious.... Any thoughts? Thanks.
