When the time comes to increase the power in your GT-R, I might suggest taking it to a different shop than the one who put together your 370z.

Potential to sell with salvage engine: zero
My time spent thinking about it: priceless
Decision to get out of it for another ride: no brainer

New ride to be delivered next week...
I am so much happier

These numbers are way off. But, I must say if you can afford to step up from a stillen supercharged 370z to Godzilla then more power to you. However, just so the community knows.

Low mile used engine: 1-3K
Labor to install, back to stock: 1k
Recoup the cost with selling sc parts: around 4K
Post salvage reliability: unknown (who cares, sell it)
Potential to sell with salvage engine: zero issues, nobody would know its not the original engine.
My time spent thinking about it: priceless
Decision to get out of it for another ride: no brainer (because i get GTR)

And check the oil. At least every time you get gas. Don't kill another motor with neglect.

just curious to warn others. I went out of state for my tune. all parts I installed myself.

spring time cars and coffee we have about 15 GTR's typically. at least 5 or more there at a time throughout the day including a Nismo.
