Nissan 300ZX Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1983–1989) — First Generation
The first-generation Nissan 300ZX blends sports-coupe styling with a touring focus. If you are considering one today, condition and maintenance history deserve as much attention as the version you choose.
Nissan 300ZX engine choices include naturally aspirated and turbocharged gasoline V6s. Naturally aspirated versions deliver power progressively, while turbo models accelerate harder as boost builds. Manual transmissions give you direct control over gear selection; automatics make frequent stops easier. Both send power to the rear wheels.
