M30Z

The M30Z although being exceptionally rare is one of Tommy Kaira's best known cars.

The model is based on the awe inspiring Nissan 300zx sports coupe - previously voted in the Top Ten list of Car and Driver and a model which still has a fanatical following in the US, UK, Japan and Australia despite its production being discontinued.

Part of the original Zed car lineup, the model has been referred to as Nissan's first true Junior Supercar. From this impressive starting point, Tommy Kaira retuned the engine and added its own performance component upgrades to produce a truly jaw-dropping driving experience.

Even within Japan, the M30Z is rare and examples typically exchange for between 1.5 to 1.8 million Japanese Yen. Most owners of these cars have elected to professionally store these cars off the road since they are already a collectors item.


Typical M30Z models have the following modifications:



Tommy Kaira body kit with refashioned front bumper lip and unique Aero rear spoiler (with central signature panel). Metal decals on the front and sides and M30Z decal above the rear lights. Some cars come with a pinstripe flank detail running the length of the car.



Tommy Kaira wheels as in the picture below - lightened and forged but, like the JDM 300zx wheels, designed to redirect cool air onto the braking components. Brakes have uprated brake lines, larger cross drilled and vented Discs and upgraded V-Spec Calipers. The suspension is modified with Tommy Kaira anti roll bars, springs, dampers and other components (originally sourced from Bilstein)



All M30Zs are Japanese Twin Turbo editions and have remapped ECU electronic management systems. Induction kits are typically HKS modified units and Side mounted "Super Cup" intercoolers are employed. The customised Tommy Kaira exhaust system has a high-flow sports cat system and signature squared-off tips. Baseline output is 350 Bhp although many cars are running higher than this. ALL Tommy Kaira models have a stamped identification plate from the factory and a Green valance along the top of the Engine.



Interior seats were sourced from Recaro with added lumbar support and decals were added along with a Tommy Kaira steering wheel. Manual cars have a TK shift knob, Autos have the Power/Hold switches. Three extra 52mm gauges are found in the central console incorporating either Exhaust Gas Temperature, Boost, Voltometer, or Oil Temperature measurements. The standard dials are replaced with all red 300Km/hr TK dials.
