1990 Nissan 300ZX Coupe - Red - 249,241km - 3.0L V6 Automatic, RHD

Overview

The Z32 300ZX represents a pivotal moment in Nissan's sports car lineage. Launched in 1989, this second-generation Z-car brought a quantum leap in sophistication, technology, and performance compared to its predecessor. The 300ZX was the first Z to feature a fully independent double-wishbone suspension, advanced electronic driver aids, and a potent 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged V6 option. This particular example is the naturally aspirated variant, powered by the 3.0L V-angle six-cylinder engine paired with an automatic transmission. Right-hand drive configuration confirms Australian market origin. At 249,241 kilometres, this is a genuine, well-used example that has clearly been driven and enjoyed rather than pampered in a garage.

The exterior presents in honest condition befitting its age and mileage. The bright red metallic paint holds reasonable gloss across the body panels, with the characteristic 1990s Nissan finish showing minor stone chipping on the bonnet leading edge and light weathering consistent with three decades of use. Panel gaps are even and straight, with no evidence of major accident repair or panel replacement. The iconic pop-up headlights show oxidation and cloudiness to the lenses, a common issue on Z32s of this era and easily remedied. The factory alloy wheels are sound and matching, wrapped in serviceable tyres. The interior trim shows age-appropriate wear to the seat bolsters and dashboard, with the grey fabric upholstery displaying creasing and minor soiling typical of a well-used driver's car. The instrument cluster is clear and legible, with the odometer reading a genuine 249,241 kilometres. The engine bay reveals a standard, unmodified 3.0L V6 installation with light surface corrosion on fasteners and hose clamps, consistent with age. All major components are present and accounted for. This is a genuine, unrestored, honest Z32 that represents excellent value for enthusiasts seeking an affordable entry point into Z-car ownership.

The 300ZX has become increasingly collectible in recent years as 1990s Japanese sports cars have gained recognition among enthusiasts and investors. Comparable examples in similar condition have traded between AUD $18,000 and $28,000 depending on specification, mileage, and provenance. This naturally aspirated automatic example sits at the more accessible end of the Z32 market, making it an attractive proposition for buyers seeking Z-car authenticity without the complexity and cost of turbo ownership. The automatic transmission broadens appeal to those seeking a relaxed cruiser rather than a hardcore track tool.
