Nissan Fairlady Z (Third generation)

If we have to narrow it down, can we all agree on a 88 Shiro Special as the “showcase” for the z31?

Hey what’s up I wanna contribute to this as best as I can. I’ve had my 84T for about 8 years now. I’m pretty familiar with the Z31 platform. If I don’t respond on here than you can follow my IG. @KnineliveZ

I have an 84 Turbo Z31 GLL (digital dash), 87 Turbo Digital Dash, and 87 na digital dash! I would love to help contribute whatever I can to bring the z31 into forza!

Considering that there are numerous copies of the same vehicle for other models, i would love to see a 50th anniversary AND a shiro special. I cannot choose which one i like more. I would be happy with any version. It would actually get me to start playing the game again. I got bored of it quickly. No z31 and no sw20 mr2 either, i was rather disappointed.

Please add the car I would love to see more z31’s in video games as it is often overlooked because of the z32. Sincerely a some guy with a 1985 z31

I would like to also input and say that the Z31 has SOOO many options and folks willing to have their cars scanned, copied whatever is to be done to have them created. I would say though i would like to see the 87-89 turbo model put into the game. Shiro would be the best option

If we get the 84-85 with the bodykit options to turn it into the AE and the 87-89 with the bodykit options to turn it into the SS or the 86 by changing the headlights and tail lights. Then everyone with a Z31 will be able to recreate their car in-game. Make them all 2 seaters, the 2+2 owners will just have to suck it up

Bro, no, either 84 50th ae or 86 turbo gll (digital dash) but preferably the ae

A Shiro, or a 50th anniversary z31 would be great to have, here is a photo of my shiro

The Shiro featured Moon Glow pearl white paint, tinge of purple flake, with a very subtle touch of green flake. Truely the most beautiful paint when the sun begins to set and the light hits it just right.

A race car z31 version to feature would be The legendary Paul Newman z31 300zx race car

I was a young guy playing forza motorsport 2 when it first released, wishing the z31 would be recognized for the amazing machine it truly is.

1984 50th anniversary edition would be sick too. I own #3495/5148

I’d pay extra to have louvers to add to the rear window! :heart_eyes: I’ve been dying to have the z31 in a proper game.

I’m all for this!
I’d love to see an 86 turbo and an 87-89 turbo available and hopefully an 88 Shiro as something special. I’d pay good money for these in game!
Here’s my 88 turbo (not a Shiro)

recirculating this to the top for fresh eyes. If the idea is to use something from the 84-86 2+2 range, I can provide my 85 for scanning\in-depth reference pictures, etc as it is mostly stock.

I own a 1986 turbo GL z31 300zx completely stock
I would love to see 5 different cars added
1984-1985 “Zenki”
1984 50th anniversary edition
1986 “chuki”
1987-89 “kouki”
1988 Shiro special edition
If I could pick one it would be my car but any would be amazing to see!
It would be very cool to get one car that had customizations to change the minor differences between the facelifts.
