Sold my convertible a few weeks ago. Had a deposit on an immaculate Pearl white metallic Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo.
Very happy with it. Been lightly uprated and running around 320bhp. So it's not shy. Very expensive Veilside exhaust system and even more expensive 18" Rays Split rim wheels.
Very happy with and it fookin shifts like anything.

RYM Racing ECU higher boost (not sure how much) and the complete veilside system.
It's only an aproximation due to information gathered. It could be more, but 320 seems realisitc.

Yeah correct, there are some real dogs about. Quite lucky with mine, although mine still needs a few little things done to it to make it mechanically perfect. But these are relatively small.
Overall, I love it.

Some updated pics if anyone's interested and some further info on it.
Car's a JDM Manual Twin Turbo
It's running 1mm boost jets, 15PSi boost (right on the limit for the ICs really. They can cool safely at that pressure. Standard Turbos can cope with 17PSi), 340bhp Veilside Evolution exhaust system, IMPUL racing ECU. No real plans for this. Probably a large FMIC to replace the two corner ICs and maybe some hybrid turbos if these ever die. The hold boost very well and don't smoke.
18" Rays Engineering 3 peice split rims 8" and 245s at the front and 9" and 265s at the back. OE 99+ Rear lights and panel, series 3 boot panel with spoiler removed. Clear wing indicators and clear bumper indicators with filter removed. That's it really for the bodymods, thinking about sticking a Renault Laguna rear wiper arm on it of all things. Maybe a light window tint.
Interior is pretty standard, but has a MOMO Race steering wheel and a Double DIN Kenwood UH with some Pioneer uprated speakers. I'll find my way round to getting a few subs in the back maybe.
Plan for easter time is to get it retrimmed similar to this...

Not particularly good or flattering photos....

I dunno...random pictures. I've just fitted the private plate that I had on my Astra. Currently, I have the small front plate on it.
Interior is not mine, it's what I'm having done around easter time.

in the top photo it has no plate- maybe he swapped
When that photo was taken, the car wasn't even registered in the UK, it had just gotten off the ship from Japan.

I can appreciate them, but they're a bit too chestwig-tastic for me.
