It’s not everyday that you see a custom off-road Nissan 350Z, much less one riding on 30-inch tires and a lifted suspension. The real star of the show is its VQ37VHR 3.7L V6 engine making 328 hp and 276 lb-ft of torque, mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission.

Limited to 50-units worldwide, the Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign quickly sold out and many that have hit the market command a hefty premium to its $1.1-million starting price. Powering each GT-R50 by Italdesign is a NISMO-tuned, hand-built 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V6 generating 710 hp and 585 lb-ft of torque, thanks to larger turbochargers as well as high-flow fuel injectors.
An extremely rare 1999 R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec in Midnight Purple II recently sold for $220,000 USD on Bring a Trailer, and this isn’t a vehicle located in Japan, but rather one already stateside. Only 282 examples were finished in this color from the factory, and this particular vehicle has 95,000-miles on the odometer after being imported in 2022.
VeilSide’s Nissan Z, called the FFZ400, is set to make an appearance in an upcoming Fast & Furious movie as Han’s (Sung Kang) 400Z. Aesthetically, the vehicle has gotten a complete overhaul, including a new front fascia, large side skirts, and wide fenders, while a spoiler appears to be rising up from the rear hatch area.
First unveiled several months ago, the Nissan Z GT4 made its public debut at the 2022 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, but in a unique livery. The colors you see were inspired by Nissan’s past vintage racing heritage with the front hood displaying the number 23, the automaker’s exclusive number, found within a rising sun circle harking back to the very early racing liveries of the 70’s.
