Well, three options......
1. Rock it like you don't even care
2. Repaint, getting the engine bay, door jambs, and everything remotely visible
3. Go back to white or a close color. (BMW Alpine White is UH-MAZING!)

Hi Ricardo!

Welcome to the forum... These guys here are amazing... They know their way around a Z so shoot them questions and you won't be disapointed (just make sure to search around before you do... people don't like to reply over and over again to the same stuff! ;) ).

Good luck with your project.

:naughty:

:chuckle:

Not really... 200 miles apart. Not that much but given that Portugal is 500 miles long (north to south) that's a bit... :)
He is much closer to another NICO member: Sky...
Or at least I think I saw him around here. I know he is for sure on the 300zxclub forum...

Hi,
this car was sold NEW in Portugal (European Version) in 03/04/1997, and it's all stock... it doesn't have airbag, it has Twin Cam, Hicas; it's diferent from the US versions, Lol... :yesnod

I will put a photo of the others 300ZX's owners that I know here in Portugal... :cool:

I'm not there :( And I think Sky (Lúcio) isn't as well...

I'm sure there are a couple more missing but in the end, I think there should like 50-100 (closer to 50 probably including imports and 99% would be TT) on the road in the country...

Now, regarding the year, I don't know in what year Nissan stopped bringing the z32 to Portugal but could it have been in 96 and this one took a little bit longer to sell (acquiring a 97 plate)?

Hi Vitor,
I think this one took a bit longer to sell (must have arrived in Portugal in 1996) and acquired a plate in 03/04/97... :yesnod

Welcome! If you check the plate with the VIN on your door jam, it will have the date of production.

If you have any questions just ask! Tons of experienced guys on here that will answer just about anything you come up with!

Euro don't have plate on the door jam.
for example EURO VIN number JN...U...3000-3400 is year 91'-92'
"date of manuf." is on the seat belt.
EURO >94 have 1-2 air bag and new style rear wing..., electrical HICAS .
