Year to Year Changes
1991 Nissan 300ZX:
A driver's airbag became optional this year, and a new base model joined the lineup. Additional standard equipment included heated mirrors, an illuminated entry system, a cargo cover, and automatic temperature control. All except the base model had a Nissan/Bose audio system. Base models seated two, had no T-bar roof, and came only with 5-speed manual shift.
1992 Nissan 300ZX:
Optional in 1991 models, the driver's airbag became standard this year. Otherwise, the 300ZX was little changed.
1993 Nissan 300ZX:
For the first time, the Z-car lineup included a factory-built convertible, introduced as an early 1993 model. Fitted with leather upholstery, the convertible had a manually folding top and a rear "hoop" over the interior, to increase structural rigidity and provide upper anchor points for the manual lap/shoulder belts. No other significant changes were evident.
1994 Nissan 300ZX:
A passenger-side airbag joined the driver's airbag for 1994. New standard features included remote keyless entry for all models, and a power passenger seat for the convertible.
1995 Nissan 300ZX:
No change was evident in the sixth season of this generation of Nissan's Z-car.
1996 Nissan 300ZX:
For its final season in Nissan's lineup, no significant change was announced. Nissan chose to focus its attention on higher-volume models, letting the 300ZX disappear. As before, the selection consisted of base and hatchback coupes (with or without T-bar roof), a Turbo coupe, a 2+2 coupe, and a convertible with leather upholstery. Since its demise, several versions of a potential Z-car for the future have been seen at auto shows.
