I've been watching this commercial every once in a while for the past 15 years, and every time it gets to the last line, the hair on my neck raises straight up.
Simply not true. Was played many times. I remember it being one of my fave commercials at the time. Don't know where you got your information. I even have it on one of my old VHS tapes recorded between shows. Once again, I saw this ad MANY times in the early nineties. Maybe you're thinking of the Apple ad which Scott also directed which did only run once. Funny, but I looked up the commercial and it's like clip/paste with the same phrasing. I guess someone wanted it to be true.
FYI - this is before CG in commercials. They actually jumped the Z over the camera. I saw the behind the scenes making of at Chiat Day in 1990. I also had the 2nd Red Twin Turbo Z in the Sf Bay area - they only gave each dealer 1 twin turbo Z per month. It won sports car of the year 6 years in a row and was faster than any Vette or 911 at the time. My custom plates were 911SREZ - on a frame that said Porsche Substitute (making fun of there is no substitute ad.) 16 years later, my G35 is =.
Sorry but the truth is the Liberals at the time thought it encouraged speeding even though it was a DREAM campaign. Chiat Day also had another great ad pulled that year with 2 bunji jumpers - one with Reebok shoes and one with um - starts with N... jumps off a bridge... one rebounds.. the other... not so much with the tag - fits better than your ordinary athletic shoes. All the networks refused to play it but fox ran it in prime time in the Simpsons. I worked at Chiat/Day in 1990.
@DSelbyEsq - Sorry no. It aired once on the super bowl to be replaced with a crappy ad of a silver 300ZX being offloaded from the boat dock by crane and then after Nissan cancelled the Z in 1996 or 1997, they made an awesome Barbie and Ken ad driving a toy Z (no longer sold?!) to Van Halens song "She really got me now." Chiat Day gave each band member a Z in order to use their song was the rumor.
I know it doesn't seem right. But imagine if Nissan made a new 300zx. i know its called the 350 & 370, but WHAT ABOUT A NEW 300ZX! anyway still, im happy with my 1993 Babie.
@Nfordmann Same here man! I just don't know what it is. I also get chills like crazy when I watch this video. I think Nissan should continue doing commercials like they did this in the past.
I had a moment like this sort of..I used to have a modded twin turbo 300zx with about 400 hp at the time and I was racing a 350z supercharged and it was neck and neck but the turbo lag finally went away and the twin...turbos...kicked...in and I pulled away lol

Ridley Scott directed this superb commercial and I'm looking forward to his new science fiction film "Prometheus" starring Noomi Rapace, Charlize Theron and Angelina Jolie.
One of the most beautiful cars ever made; its styling trumps both the 350 and the 370. I've wanted one for 20 years. Back in 1990 I got to ride in a black twin turbo, and the person driving really pushed it to the limit... I was hooked immediately. I've also ridden in an Aston Martin V12 Vantage... twice, and as impressive as it is, I would rather have the 300. A. it's more practical & B. I wouldn't be afraid to park it somewhere. I really wish Nissan would bring back this body style.
It is truly depressing to drive anything else after you have driven a Z32. I have driven countless Mustangs, 350Z's and even a few Mercedes, but no car feels as good as the 300ZX. By far my favorite of all the Z Car lineage.
Damn!! I remember first seeing this commercial bout 20yrs ago, and my friends and I looking at each other in shock at what a friggin amazing commerical that was!!
they promoted this commercial more than once n the first time they promoted it was during a superbowl. n i know this because wen i saw it during the superbowl i baught it u dumbass
Excellent commercial. I am an original owner of a 92 TT, manual (27k original miles)...one if not the best car I have personally owned. I also bought a new 03 350z....not the same in the least...I just sold it for an Aston Martin Vantage....and that still doesn't give me the same satisfaction as the old Z32!
Great cars indeed and I always admired them since they first came out (I do have a dealer brochure from mid-'89, prior to the turbo being introduced). I remember this commercial when it debuted during Super Bowl XXIV (49ers vs Broncos). In fact, I was also very fortunate to see the very jet used in this commercial in person (a Hawker Hunter, wasn't owned by Nissan though) as my father's company was doing some work on that jet at the time.
Idiot below me "3L V6 not built to last" what are you a red neck that's drives trucks!!! I mean c'mon that car was way ahead if it's time and still is. This baby has 300hp and does 0-60mph in 4 to 5 seconds, I mean that's way better then some sport cars today. If your gonna hate go comment on a smart car video.
@TheCottonTop This mentality is exactly what holds many American car enthusiasts back. Not a fanboy, I like all cars, but if you knew about this engine, not just a 3L V6, but for its time multiport injection, DOHC, Coil on Plug, variable valve timing, not to mention the twin turbo thing... back when lots of american cars were still trying to get off OHV carbs or throttle body injection engines.
@Tygur This car was so far ahead of it's time. I would kill a man if it meant I'd have a factory brand new 300zx twin turbo. Okay maybe not that far, but it's tempting haha
@TheCottonTop have you owned one? no, probably not. These engines can hold 1000bhp in them with just forged internals, unlike your miserable modular V8 which needs a lot of reinforcement to the block just for it to hold 900+bhp in
@hjorgan67 - Sounds awesome!!! I didnt know that... I plan on getting one soon from junkyard as project car and ordering a TT engine. I plan to make it only an exhibition car and gut it like a fish making full use of power to weight ratio. :D
@AAAnomalyyy - Most recently on I-5 between Bay Area and Palm Springs... had her up to 130... briefly... [someone in a Lexus or something thought they wanted to drive fast] I must confess no airborne adventures to date. The top end acceleration [say from 80 - 120+] is unreal in this car.
@adamjacques1 SAME HERE im 17 i got my license and its that time to start thinking of what car i want and i seriously seriously dream about this car its monster for street drag also <3..300Zx
@adamjacques1 Well put, I feel the same way about my 93. Its been in the shop for a week now and I get it back tonight, I've missed it more than any girl, more than my kids, more than anything, while its been gone. I got sick to my stomach every time my mechanic would tell me it was going to take longer than expected. (Getting new style injectors, and my mechanic has to manufacture the plenum himself since they keep sending him the wrong one)
im glad i had the chance to have one. it maybe not have been a TTZ but it was a Z for sure. sadly i was only 18 when i got it and now i had to sell it. didn't expect how much money was needed to keep it running clean. i do plan on getting another one when i sell my S14.
Ok, so I bought one, a 92 Twin Turbo Z. Man it hauls, mostly stock but it has a JWT upgraded ECU as I discovered today. Probably around 360 HP. It's so sweet.
Yeah, I remember this commercial, and I remember going: oh that's so stupid, it can't outrun a plane! Well, I guess I was like twelve.
It'll be your last one too. Start with an N/A because without any driving experience, you'll womp down on that gas the first time and first gear will propel you right into a tree. Don't make a rookie mistake. I bought a 91 N/A 2 seater and kept it that way for a year to get a good feel for it and then swapped out for the VG30DETT once I was comfortable. This is NOT, I say again, NOT made to be a first car for someone.
i did get an N/A i bought it 2 weeks ago... TT r too expensive for a first car... plus they cost much more to maintain... so for someone my age wudnt b smart... nd its not like i dont have experience its my first car but not the first car ive ever driven... lol how much did ur swap cost?...
The engine itself (out of a 95 with the new style fuel injectors before the 96 model when they dropped the HP down to 280) was $1,200, then I swapped the T25's for GT30's which ran me another $2,500, but luckily for me, I have a friend with the time and patience to do the work out of his garage so he didn't charge me anything. So all said and done, $3,700, but keep in mind that's - andy labor cost a shop is going to charge you, which won't be cheap.
@BlueIceLS1 thats great ur lucky most shops will do they swap for like 6-8 thousand dollars :/... maybe one day ill swap mine or jus buy a tt then ill have 2 z's :D lol... but yea z's r awesome... mine might not b turbo but its still decently fast :D
@BlueIceLS1 I think your mistaken they never dropped the HP of the Z32... you might be getting confused with auto Twin turbos which had 280hp compared the 5speed which had 300hp
@707umair I'm not sure of the specifics of the UK / Canadian / Australian / Japanese models, but in '96 for the US models, Variable cam timing (NVTC) was dropped and factory HP dropped to 280 on the twin turbo models. They also introduced OBD II electronics, and the driver's seat back rest no longer included adjustable side bolsters.
SuperBowl 1992, I believe. I threw a party for this super bowl, and the commercial aired that day. We were all screaming! There was a tradition back then that the super bowl commercials would only air ONCE.
Wow... I look at this commercial and makes me remember my Z...
Some people think this commercial was stupid, because of the plane. But... That feeling that when you are on your Z that u r unstoppable is priceless :)
@bmylowie well they still do 350z and 370z. but they stopped making the 300zx in 96 in the states due to poor sales... which i can't believe why no one wanted these cars and now everyone wants a 300zx. luckily i just got my 91 TT in nov of 09.
@makugx Im not sure about the supra... but i was specifically talking about the Z32... they've even said it the reason they stopped production was because of low sales... its been proven...
@aspireeripsa haha 240s are cheaper but not any better. most 240s in existence today have been raced to shit with destroyed suspensions. I'm still waiting on the money to buy myself a 300z that's in top notch condition. the maintenance is going to be a bitch though over time :P
I have this car - this exact car, silver 1991 twin turbo 5spd charcoal leather interior. All original and perfect. Yes, I'm bragging. I get a woody every time I drive it.
@hjorgan67 ok man i have a question. it looks like a beautiful.... well it is a beautiful car and all but how would you recommend it as say a daily driver and all. im thinking about getting rid of my current truck and wanting to get a good fun car that will also be the daily driver. so what would you say about this car????
@xxXsledgeXxx - A few things on the 90s Z - when you sit in it, you will instantly understand where the modern sports car cockpit was born. In terms of fun... let me put it this way, I've proposed to my WIFE that we sell the Z. She won't let me. She currently uses it as a commuter - although not heavily. This car cost $43K in 1991 - so maintenance, although very reasonable for a car of this caliber needs to be factored in for anyone considering it (or any 20 year old car) as a daily driver.
@hjorgan67 you're damn right about bragging, because you sir got a great taste in car and knows how to appreciate them. I'm jealous and 1 day I'll have 1 too!
To this day, I still tell friends about this amazing & awesome commercial. It is one of the bestest of all commercials ever (and Super Bowl commercials too)! So glad it is posted on YouTube!
5 guys tried to catch that Z

@indarkened
The engine itself (out of a 95 with the new style fuel injectors before the 96 model when they dropped the HP down to 280) was $1,200, then I swapped the T25's for GT30's which ran me another $2,500, but luckily for me, I have a friend with the time and patience to do the work out of his garage so he didn't charge me anything. So all said and done, $3,700, but keep in mind that's - andy labor cost a shop is going to charge you, which won't be cheap.

@BlueIceLS1 thats great ur lucky most shops will do they swap for like 6-8 thousand dollars :/... maybe one day ill swap mine or jus buy a tt then ill have 2 z's :D lol... but yea z's r awesome... mine might not b turbo but its still decently fast :D

@BlueIceLS1 I think your mistaken they never dropped the HP of the Z32... you might be getting confused with auto Twin turbos which had 280hp compared the 5speed which had 300hp

@707umair I'm not sure of the specifics of the UK / Canadian / Australian / Japanese models, but in '96 for the US models, Variable cam timing (NVTC) was dropped and factory HP dropped to 280 on the twin turbo models. They also introduced OBD II electronics, and the driver's seat back rest no longer included adjustable side bolsters.

SuperBowl 1992, I believe. I threw a party for this super bowl, and the commercial aired that day. We were all screaming! There was a tradition back then that the super bowl commercials would only air ONCE.

Some people think this commercial was stupid, because of the plane. But... That feeling that when you are on your Z that u r unstoppable is priceless :)

they still do its called the 350z

i believe it was because by the end of production in 96 they were going for about 55K+.

Have you ever heard of a 350z or 370z?
Seriously, where have you been?
koalarock 2 years ago
@bmylowie well they still do 350z and 370z. but they stopped making the 300zx in 96 in the states due to poor sales... which i can't believe why no one wanted these cars and now everyone wants a 300zx. luckily i just got my 91 TT in nov of 09.

@707umair you got a point there. but let me ask you something THATS A BIT OFF.
how come toyota stopped producing supras long ago when they're still so wanted and bought and traded and used, etc?
makugx 1 year ago
@makugx Im not sure about the supra... but i was specifically talking about the Z32... they've even said it the reason they stopped production was because of low sales... its been proven...

@aspireeripsa haha 240s are cheaper but not any better. most 240s in existence today have been raced to shit with destroyed suspensions. I'm still waiting on the money to buy myself a 300z that's in top notch condition. the maintenance is going to be a bitch though over time :P

The commercial was only shown once in America because stupid Americans complained that it was promoting speeding.

@hjorgan67 ok man i have a question. it looks like a beautiful.... well it is a beautiful car and all but how would you recommend it as say a daily driver and all. im thinking about getting rid of my current truck and wanting to get a good fun car that will also be the daily driver. so what would you say about this car????
xxXsledgeXxx 1 year ago
@xxXsledgeXxx - A few things on the 90s Z - when you sit in it, you will instantly understand where the modern sports car cockpit was born. In terms of fun... let me put it this way, I've proposed to my WIFE that we sell the Z. She won't let me. She currently uses it as a commuter - although not heavily. This car cost $43K in 1991 - so maintenance, although very reasonable for a car of this caliber needs to be factored in for anyone considering it (or any 20 year old car) as a daily driver.
