T-top and exterior changes
CarExpert and Carscoops report that Nissan unveiled the Z Kaze concept at ZCON in Phoenix, Arizona. CarExpert says its custom T-top recalls the roofs fitted to many Z32-generation 300ZXs sold in the 1990s, while Carscoops describes two removable glass panels separated by a central support beam. 13
CarExpert describes Pacific Teal paint, widened arches, bonnet vents and carbon-fibre aerodynamic parts inspired by 1990s tuning. Carscoops identifies a front splitter, side skirts, rear diffuser and spoiler, while CarExpert reports a lower stance and suspension incorporating Nismo components. 13
CarExpert reports that the concept rides on restored, out-of-production 18-inch Nismo LMGT2 wheels sourced used for the project, measuring 10 inches wide at the front and 11 inches at the rear. Moniteur Automobile also identifies them as restored period wheels rather than modern replicas. 12
Engine, cabin and plans
CarExpert and Moniteur Automobile report that the 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 has an air-to-air intercooler, Airinx air filter and Supreme SP exhaust among its changes. Carscoops says Nissan did not disclose a power output for the modified engine. 123
CarExpert reports white leather across the seats and parts of the dashboard, doors and centre console, with carbon-fibre console trim and Bose speakers in the front-seat headrests. Moniteur Automobile identifies the audio system as Bose Personal Plus. 12
Moniteur Automobile reported on 25 September that no production project for the Z Kaze was planned at that stage. Carscoops reported that the concept was scheduled to appear at the Japanese Classic Car Show on 3 October after its ZCON debut. 23
