In Janurary of 1988 Nissan Held "A White Sale." As part of that sales promotion, Nissan issued a special Limited Edition of the 300ZX Turbo SE Model - Called the Shiro Special Edition 300ZX Turbo SE. Refered to as the SS Edition, this car was painted in a special Pearl White paint (Shiro means White in Japanese). the Special Shiro Edition had the following as standard equipment:

No options; all are identical
- 1002 made between 1/88 and 3/88
- part of "Nissan White Sale"

According to the factory sales brochure, there was also a special Maxima offered at the same time. It was white (not pearlescent however) and featured a front spoiler. Mechanically I believe it was identical to a standard Maxima, and it wasn't a limited edition.
