After the success of the Z31 300ZX Turbo, the Z32-chassis Nissan 300ZX Turbo appeared in 1989 for the 1990 model year with a splash. As compared to the base model 300ZX, the twin turbocharged (TT) variant was upgraded with Garrett AiResearch parallel twin-turbochargers and dual intercoolers. It produced 300 bhp (304 PS; 224 kW) at 6,400 rpm and 283 lb⋅ft (384 N⋅m) of torque at 3,600 rpm, with power sent to the rear via a 4-speed automatic or 5-speed manual transmission. Although nearly identicial to the base model 300ZX, the Turbo 300ZX has a slightly different front spoiler with the inclusion of louvers for additional air flow. The Z32 300ZX Turbo was available in a T-top body style only (removable roof panels) although the JDM version, known as the Z32 Fairlady Z, was available as a coupe or as a T-top. With the exception of the Fairlady Z in Japan where it continued sales until the year 2000, the Z car series went on hiatus from 1997 to 2002, until the 350Z was launched as part of the Z33 generation.
