Seen at The Markets at Shrewsbury. This confirms that Yellow Pearlglow is my favorite Z32 color.  It appears to have some Stillen parts on it.

That is so 90s it hurts. Too bad it’s not rocking the fenders and 3-spoke wheels!

...That might actually be a good thing now that I think about it.

why does that look like the front wheels and tires are significantly larger than the rears?

Those are 90's tastic wheels... oh the BILLET wheel craze... they are 6 spoke, with three behind three, and the back three blacked out.

It at least needs the wheels... I say go all out and own the ‘90s aesthetic!

Oh, I see the hidden spokes! That reminds me of Abflug’s design for the Mk IV Supra.

I kinda have a soft-spot for the AB-Flug Supras

Hell yes, I loved kicking ass in Midnight Club II in that car!

True Nissan 300zx Stillen  are going for many, many dollars now.

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > daender 07/02/2018 at 22:54

3 spikes are my favorite the remind me of the Yokohama wheel in  GT2. They had the best color selection

Not a fan of the tacky aftermarket bits but it’s fairly clean.

I thought pearl glow was paler:

I would love to have one of these but I don’t trust myself to like working on a car notoriously annoying to work on. I wouldn’t mind PAYING people to do things to it though..... unfortunately i’ve had a lot of bad luck with Japanese import mechanics in my area. German cars and American cars..... great shops here. Japanese? Absolutely horrible.

This Z is my high school dream car. I remember seeing one that looked just like this and wanting it badly.

It was actually a Stillen Package, factory backed

Yes, parts of it. But all the black pinstriping is added as are the pod gauges. The front lip is black and the b-pillar should be black. Most of the nose panels have fake vents - these go through but I’m not sure they should. Regardless, they’re very much non-functional.

In fact, on the topic of parts that are painted colors they shouldn’t be - this car has likely been resprayed. And is not quite yellow pearlglow. Probably something cheaper and easier to get right I suppose.

I could do without a lot of it, though I do kinda like the nose panel.

It turns out this car started out as a Diamond Black Pearl car (732 ). I think it was resprayed something close to Yellow Pearl glow (EH7) , but a little too dark as you said. It exhibited the behaviors of the pearlglow paint though , and looked pretty good in person.

Haha! Thank you! I’d all but figured this out. Given that the door pillar is yellow and wasn’t from factory, I’d guessed that it’s definitely been resprayed and not quite in the right color.

It does look good, and it’s far cleaner than most Z32s these days :)

Look at me. Picking subtle differences in rare paint colors I’ve never seen in real life. World’s biggest Z32 fan over here.

And here, I’m just disappointed that I still haven’t seen Yellow Pearlglow in person...

I’ve been there with certain cars, picking subtle differences; it’s quite fun!
