Hey everybody, ZfrkS62 asked me to post a little something on the 300zx shiro edition in here. So I'll do my best to do it justice. Well first of all I do own a 1988 300zx SS (shiro) edition. This is the first gen 300zx body style or Z31 body style as 300zx enthusiasts like to say. You can see my car in another thread I have posted on here at
http://www.motorworld.net/forum/showthread.php?t=33405. Heres the history of the car:
In Janurary of 1988 Nissan Held "A White Sale." As part of that sales promotion, Nissan issued a special Limited Edition of the 300ZX Turbo SE Model - Called the Shiro Special Edition 300ZX Turbo SE. Refered to as the SS Edition, this car was painted in a special Pearl White paint (Shiro means White in Japanese). the Special Shiro Edition had the following as standard equipment:
- all Shiros had identical options, none were different
- VG30ET engine (turbo)
- 5spd Overdrive Transmisson (standard)
- two seater
- t-tops
- black interior
- cloth recaro seats
- exclusive pearl white paint
- exclusive 16 inch wheels (white in color)
- exclusive "european" air damn
- analog dash (digital dash was available on non-SS cars)
- non- adjustable, very tight suspension
- exclusive viscous limited slip rear differential
- only 1002 made for use in the U.S.A
- reportedly only 75 made for use in Canada
- Canadian cars had special ID plate just below shifter on center console
Pictures of what the car looks like can be seen in the my other post which I have given the link to above.
