240Z that won the 3,800-mile 1971 East African Safari Rally, and its appearance clearly draws from that race-winning vehicle. The key modifications are largely suspension-based, as the newfeatures custom KW Safari suspension combined with custom Nismo parts – adjustable upper control arms, outer tie rod ends, front & rear end-links, rear mid-links and rear traction arms – to raise its ride height by two inches.
As for the powertrain, Nissan says the engine is tuned by AMS for “400+” horsepower. It also features a Nismo clutch and flywheels, Nismo cold air intake, Nismo heat exchanger and Nismoengine cover. The 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 breathes by way of a Nismo Track exhaust system with 2.25-inch stainless steel piping. It’s worth noting that this particular build is fitted with a manual transmission, something the production Z Nismo does not offer.
Interior modifications include Recaro Pole Position seats with custom inserts, a harness bar and four-point safety harnesses. If you really want to get into the Z Safari mood, Nissan says it’s going to sell a Seiko Safari Z watch that pays homage to the original 240Z rally car – only 240 will be made.
