A nissan Z commercial heritage.

Just thought I'd take you guys on a stroll of over 40 years of Nissan Z commercials. Fun to see how the different commercials reflect the times for automotive enthusiasts.

That's the first one I actually remember seeing (I'm still young), but it's pretty cool being brought back to the past.

Neat to see the evolution in commercial advertising too.

The TT commercial is probably one of the best I've seen. Gotta love boost!

Those were all great ones, heres a few more blasts from the past but from some well known Z racers and race cars...

Does anyone remember a commercial from the 80's or 90's for Camel Lights cigarettes with "Blitzkrieg Bop" as the background music footage of what i think was a Nissan GTP ZX-Turbo Prototype or perhaps another race car tearing *** around a track?

Someone needs to replicate the black and gold theme on their 370Z.

Retro-sweetness.

I swear I remember seeing the 300ZX commercial where the guy is dreaming on TV -- presumably a false memory if it was pulled? Anyway, great ad.

This was the one I remembered from childhood. I saw this and ran to my dad to ask him what a "Z" was and could we get one.

The 350z commercial is awful! I love the rest. Got goosebumps from the 300zx TT one.

My friend had a Limited Edition black and gold 280z back in the day, that thing was sweet! He used it for work and would strap crap to the roof. The car quickly died as at the time he didn't understand what he had. I loved that car enough to end up with a 280ZX. That was a very fun car. Once I got the car bug again after my Jeep fever (Still own one) I came back. I love Z's they are unique cars. Thanks for the commercials, it brings back many memories!

you're welcome guys. Nostalgia is an awesome thing. The first Z commercial I remember was the black and gold one. I was in my single digits.
