| this isn't all of it (which is the sad part). Probably about 15 years of collecting. What I'm still wanting to get: - Special Criminal Investigation Cabinet/Game for my man cave. - A few of the japanese 1:24'ish scale models - A Z32 300zx R/C car (and make it look like mine) Without further ado, I'll try to explain what everything is as I post the pictures: Several books, the rarest being the "enthusiast companion" which has been out of print for the better part of 20 years. Also the Japanese SCI video game, unopened, and the unopened CD soundtrack for it (and the video game brochure for the cabinet)


The 1990 N/A Z32 brochure... when I bought it, it was supposed to be sealed and unopened, but wasn't, so I overpaid for it a LOT (paid $50 for it). Lesson learned.

A few models, the rarest being the 1:12 Hasegawa Kit. I have two - this one, and one that is unassembled. They are of poor quality (IMO) when assembled. This one was missing a few parts.


The unopened packet is the promotional 2003 Z33 Brochure, unopened.

A few magazines (I have many more...)

A very...VERY rare, unopened, factory sealed Z32 slot car set.


Very rare (and $$) "I love fairlady" Choro Car set...

Motormax in box set of 4 Z32's... the box is in "ok" shape, but it's all "new in box".


One of the Hasegawa boxes...

More Choro cars and others...

Only 2 or 3 of them are Z32's...

A few of the slot cars New in package (there are several others) but the rarest is the #17 in the top middle. VERY rare and usually can't be had under $100.

Lightning Z32's... pretty common as far as collectibles.

These are quite rare as far as finding them new in the package... both have a Z32 in them.

Majorette (made in Portugal) collection. These loose (without packaging) are rare as it is, but in the package are even harder to find.

More common ones (DARE one is harder to find these days)

Closer look at one of the majorette ones

Common Matchbox/hot wheels... the purple and the maroon Z32 has about 13 different variants, of which I'm still missing a few...some are tough to find but are all pretty common and in the sub $5 range. 


This one is pretty rare (I've never seen another for sale)

Jada (common, but oddly expensive) in US version and Canada (french) versions.. the blue ones and white ones weren't available individually. The Dairy Queen color changers I have these new in package in US version and Mexico (spanish) versions. I have the complete collection for both (#1 to 12). I've never seen another one new in package, let alone the complete set (and in spanish!).

Rare japanese variants...

TOMY battery powered Z32's.. I have the red one and police (black/white) ones too, not pictured.




Unpunched #37 (England/UK market) Z32... The #37 is common in the UK, not so much in the US. Unpunched ones are VERY rare.

Nissan "collector" stamp and a "fake" note..



This was one thing I regretted selling many years ago, and thankfully Bernie (NoVA) came to my rescue and sold me one of these. This is something I'd love to have Mr. K sign!! 
Hand painted picture of my Z32 by a forum member on here...

Some of my "out of package" Z32.... some in "played with" condition, some multiples, some rare.







The GIGANTIC Z32 photo... the glass broke in the move, so I have to get things fixed... I have a Black, red, and titanium kets underneath it on the matting.

More "not in package" slot cars, etc..


#1 of 300 of the Cutaway I helped Shin Yoshikawa do for us on tt.net... FYI, he still sells these! Link: [ http://www.kaiartintl.com/nissan_300zx_twin_turbo_drawing ] 

My Z at MSR Cresson along the final turn (CCW 1.7) before it had the RB26DETT in it...

Oh yeah..

I bought this in "non working" condition from a guy that tried to fix it, and supplied a parts car for it too, but I haven't fixed it yet. I picked it up because I had never seen another one. 
There's more, but I got tired of typing, so there you have it... I'd love to see some of your collections too!!!
