I was searching the web and i came across this post on a site.

Throttle body modification:The throttle body modification isn’t going to be the biggest gain in hp in the world, but the best part is, it’s FREE! In case you missed that, yes, its completely free! All you need for this modification is a metal file or a 10mm wrench (depending on what year 300zx). All you have to do is simply remove a nut or a bump of molded aluminum that is sitting right by your throttle cable. This bump or nut is preventing your throttle from being able to open completely. By allowing it to open completely you’ve increased your air flow which increases your horse power.

is this true?! if so is it safe?

sounds like bs, I've not had the TB's off my Z32 but I highly dount there is anything keeping them from opening all the way I'll make it a point to look, could have been directed at the Z31's but I douby that as well i don't recall anything keeping the TB from opening all the way, some people pport the intake manifolds on the Z32's but I've heard that it's really not worth the effort and that the stock manifold actually flow pretty well
