welcome to the site...we arent all innocent here....but we usually dont attack on you unless something rediculous is said like, how can i spend 100k on my car....or start being a dick to those who are being helpful, cause we like to stick together like family...lol. you did choose a great site and a great car....loved mine...but as i learned you prabably have or will...the z32 can turn bitch on you in a second....and then be both expensive and hard to repair...the only reason im not getting another one, and instead probably picking up a 240z in the near future.....

Yeah its already started to suck down most of my income but with little to no obligations other thn rent and the dog i cant think of anything better to spend my money on. that and i dont have to depend on it for a daily driver so if something big goes down i'm not totally sunk. i wouldnt mind having a 240 too they are nice cars

you really think people would be that big of a car **** to give me crap for wanting to mod a car thats not forced induction? i understand that the tt will produce bigger num for less money but i like my na and for right now if i want to get started in racing then na class would be the place to start wouldnt it? 
sorry that sounded bitter i had to be to work 6:45 this morning.

its your Z, so you can do what you want to it....to an extent. i think you know what we would not be happy with
but some think that modding an n/a isnt very beneficial as compared to the TT. i say go for it...see what you can accomplish. i still wish i had my n/a so i could do some extra stuff to it. but thats another story

****...i remember that...sorry bro, i lost money on something....i definatly dont remember where...but instead you traded it for a TT...it kinda worked out well no?
i truly only wanted the front end...but for the price the sides and rear might as well...then when we were workin it out....boom something happened...i cant remember what though....im really drawing a blank....

haha, yea im glad i had the TT, but as i look back, i would have been better in the long run with my n/a
so, zkruser. if you ever go TT, make sure its a solid TT. but you can be happy with an n/a

haha...yeah we had a fun investigation on that TT, that guy was shady....i hated him, after speaking to him once i called hima D-bag and never picked up the phone again...i knew he was FOS.....man he pissed me off...i think even if i did buy the kit you still woulda gave the NA up for the TT...dont lay that on me i felt bad enough backing out of the deal, especially when people backed out of 3 other dealls with me the following 2 months about exhaust systems...bastards......

i knew i shouldntve gotten it one i had gotten up there. i didnt know about the lifter tick or the oil leak(which i didnt find out about until later anyways) plus a few other things. i did go in looking for somewhat of a project. but when it came time to deal, i was too big of a ***** to back down(1 because it was FAST, and 2 because i had just driven 6 hours and was under stress of going all the way for nothing). what i wish i would have done was fix the safety boost and let him feel 11psi probably for the first time. and then say no thanks.
i learned my lesson from this tho. next TT im droppin fat cash after lots of investigation.
