1995 300ZX Twin Turbo Specs & Features
This generation is known as the Z32 and includes the 1990-1996 models.
Turbo models came stock with a rear spoiler that changed in 1994 from
the "duck tail" spoiler to the one in the photo above. Turbo models also have
vents in the front air dam for the intercoolers. Besides the speed and fun factor of
a turbo model, an additional benefit is their 4 wheel steering system. Though it
moves the rear wheels only the tiniest bit, it helps the car in cornering.
(Yes I am aware the front wheels are on backwards in the photo - that's how they were when I got the car. If you didn't know, there's your free lesson for the day.)

Thanks to the following sources for the information on this page. I compiled it all here because I wanted
a centralized location where I could find any detail I want without searching the web every time. Some numbers were
different from source to source, and in that case I went with the number that occured with the most frequency.
