The history of the Nissan 300ZX Z31 began in 1983
Nissan introduced the third generation of the Z family with the Z31 index in 1983. The company replaced the predecessor's inline six-cylinder engines with new, more compact VG-series V6s, which allowed for improved weight distribution of the car.
One of the features of the Nissan 300ZX Z31 was the turbocharged VG30ET. Nissan notes that this was the first production Japanese turbocharged V6. The body was distinguished by a long hood, a short rear end, and semi-concealed headlights. The drag coefficient of the early Z31 was 0.31.
The Z31 generation was produced until the appearance of the next Nissan 300ZX Z32 in 1989.
