What a difference 52 years makes juxtaposition of Nissan 240Z Safari Rally, 1971 & Nissan Safari Rally Z Tribute, 2023. For this year's SEMA show Tommy Pike and his South Carolina-based team have created a replica of the East African Safari winning 240Z based on the current Z34 generation Z. KW Safari suspension and NISMO suspension parts raise the coupe's ride height by 2 inches, providing room for the 17 x 7.5-inch prototype NISMO Safari wheels with Yokohama GEOLANDAR M/T G003 tyres.  The Safari Rally Z Tribute features an AMS-tuned, 400+ horsepower, VR30DDTT engine

It is equipped with a trendy turbocharger and captivates fans with its overwhelming straight-line speed. In Japan in the early 1980s, Skylines and Silvias spewed flames and raced around Fuji Speedway and other places. Its power is 570bhp

The works Porsche 956 on the first row of the grid withdrew early, and Kazuyoshi Hoshino, driving the March B5G Nissan (No. 28) that qualified third, won the race, which was shortened to two hours due to bad weather. Although bad weather was on their side, it was the first time for a Nissan car and the first Japanese to win a world championship race.
