300 special edition SMZ

Has anyone heard of these special Zs introduced in 1995 that had stock 365 hp engine with larger wheels and brakes? Does anyone have pictures, I cant find any.

95-96 Stillen prepared Steve Millen designed SMZ 300ZX cars are sold through Nissan dealerships in U.S., Australia and New Zealand.

Limited edition SMZ's are Stillen modified Z's. Millen's special relationship with Nissan pretty much guaranteed that Stillen would be known as the premier tuner of the Z32 in the U.S. Millen was also racing for Nissan in 95. Pretty much raced for Nissan since 90 until retirement. Read all about him here if you care.

Nothing against the man but his co. is a rip IMO.

Yea that one on Ebay wasn't an SMZ, I know what you are talking about though. I beleive I saw a gold one on Ebay about 5 years ago before I was really into Z's, so I thought nothing of it. I think It went for 19 grand, which is an amazing deal for that car. So yes, there are still some out there, but they're not easy to get your hands on.

Yeah, here is a picture of a white Stillen Z from Car and Driver. If you would like to read the article that came with it, you could probably find the mag for sale from eBay or something. It's the issue from June of 1995.

As I understnd it is just a base TT but fitted with some of the goodies that STILLEN has for the Z32...

It is not like it has a different engine or something like that.. but still.. looks good..
