1986 Nissan 300ZX by Brandon Miller

This unique 1986 Nissan 300ZX, owned by Brandon Miller, garnered attention and praise at the 2021 SEMA Show. Opting for a naturally aspirated powertrain, Brandon drew inspiration from the iconic S30 Fairlady Z432R. His choice of color, Safari Gold, pays homage to this historic model, breathing new life into the less adored Z31 generation. The standout feature of this build is the bespoke RB engine swap, renowned for its meticulous craftsmanship. Brandon's 300ZX sports titanium headers and Kevlar velocity stacks within a shaved engine bay, showcasing stupendous detail. Brandon's creative approach earned the car the title of Best Show Car at the Pit+Paddock x Meguiar's SEMA Show Ultimate Build. Praised for its build quality and aesthetic precision, this 300ZX became an instant favorite among enthusiasts. Photographed by Drew Manley for a special edition poster series, this 300ZX stands as a testament to innovative thinking and the awakening potential within the Z31 lineage.
