mtcookson Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Yup, 1988 only. Was all white, even the wheels and had Recaro seats... tried buying some of the Recaros out of a junk yard SS but the assholes wouldn't let me... probably a good thing though because they were pretty weathered.

rags Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 A Shiro in the JY??? Did you happen to see if the CV axles were still there? The Shiro had a VLSD R200 and the CV axles are very rare. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racinjitter Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 A Shiro in the JY??? Did you happen to see if the CV axles were still there? The Shiro had a VLSD R200 and the CV axles are very rare. Joe The original axles are rare as you said, But anyone who knows about the j30 rearends and its ability to swap inner cv joints onto z31 shafts, they are just over priced. the shiro springs are worth something to z31 guys too Not to anyone who knows about http://www.z31parts.com . Jason makes great products for the Z31's. He has a lot more parts in development/testing stages right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pdfflyer Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 The US Shiro edition model was available with the pearl white exterior paint, recaro seats, 5 speed, T25 Turbo, A/c, and no other electric options only in 1988. The Shiro included special white wheels, suspension, the low end heat controls, and various other weight savings. No electric seats or windows, special non-adjustable electric shocks. Other white Z cars were sold in 1988 but there were likely non-turbo models, or 2+2 models. The US Shiro models were never available before/ after 1988, about 4,000 were sold.

Racinjitter Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 No electric seats or windows, special non-adjustable electric shocks. Out of all 3-400 shiro's that I have seen ALL of them had power windows. I think you are referring to the california edition, which did not have power windows.

Administrators BRAAP Posted July 4, 2007 Administrators Share Posted July 4, 2007 (I can’t believe I’m actually about to admit this publicly...) I worked as a new car salesman on the Nissan lot at Quaid Auto Expo in Riverside California back in 1988. (Whew, now that is out of the way, that wasn't so bad... ) As for the limited edition '88 ZX turbo, every dealer supposedly received one of those cars. They were all Pearl white and some of the features that made them different from the rest to the ZX line for ’88 were the wheels were painted body color instead of the typical grey color, the splitter, or lower portion of the air dam, was also painted body color instead of the typical grey color, the very firm yet simple lightweight Recaros seats, 5 speed, analog instruments. I put something like 30 miles on our dealerships car in test drives/joy riding bad Paul. There may have been a couple other special little trinkets, but I don't recall them. The springs were a little stiffer and it had the now so coveted LSD. The engine and Turbo were the same as offered in the standard ZX Turbo cars, though the ’88 model year did receive some revisions over the ’87 model year in regards to the engine and turbo. One of the highlights while working there was going to Anaheim for the unveiling of the Nissan ’89 model year line up. The Maxima 4DSC, the 240-SX, the Access, and even a sneak peak at the Z-32 with some great video footage of the suspension test bed for that Cray super-computer designed multilink rear suspension, (hack hack gag gag… ). Within a month or so after that show, we started receiving the 240-SX. What treat that was back then. Ah the memories.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much easier to come clean now that you've turned red, isn't it; you know we won't pick on you! <> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
