Hi. Let'me introduce myself. I'm 22 years old, i'm a recent lawyer. There are only 3 Z in Brazil. They come here only by particulars importations. Nissan doesn't want to bring it here. Don't ask me why...

So, the car is black and manual. I still don't have much pics:

nice, what did you pay to import the car? just curious.

Pheonix · 08-17-2009, 10:39 PM

Nice 3000 GT! I always was a fan of that car.

the VR4 was WAYY ahead of its time. Only problem was the belly bulge, major fatties and alot of weight reduction had to be done to make them quick. Nice cars, I liked the looks of the stealth a bit better though.

Yeah...they always did weigh a bit too much...but man...the styling for the time was beyond anything else, imo. Whenever I see one, I always wonder what it would have evolved to had Mitsubishi kept producing it.

who knows? maybe the rumored turbo-diesel AWD 5th gen Eclipse, may just be a new incarnation of the 3000GT!

congrats on the purchase.

damn, I almost forgot 3000GT's existed. Those cars were the "Nissan GT-R's of the early 90's."

That car was hella fast considering it was heavy.

Welcome and Congrats! Nice 3000GT.

Brazilians taxs are extremely high. We must consider the shipping costs too, what is very expensive.

So, the final price here in Brazil is about $ 121,000 . I know it sounds ridiculous, but unfortunately is true.

That is really true. Wheigt is the 3000-GT principal "problem".
