"300ZX GTi Type R", fact or fiction?

[Doobs too]

Please can you lot help me with some info.

I'm a keen Nissan man and I want a 300ZX. I've seen one at a very good price but I am a little suspicious about the add. For a start the model the vendor claims it is (see topic title) is something I've never heard of. Admittedly they do say it was a limited edition, one of only 25 made! I thought they were Twin Turbo or not, and that's it. If anyone knows any details I'd be greatful if you could enlighten me.

where is the advert, i've never heard of a GTI one, sounds a bit dicky to me.

Get one.

Why would a Nissan have a *Honda* Type R designation.

Sounds like a car with stickers to me.....

That sounds like complete horse poo, I'm 99.99% certain that "GTI Type R" is some kind of fantasy in the sellers head.

Sounds rubbish to me - Nissan have used monikers like GTiR for some of their cars, but a google search for "300zx gtir" or "300zx gti" doesn't turn up anything, so I'm doubtful...

Hmmm, never heard of it either. May be the vendor can shed a little more light?

Good luck with your Zed shopping though
