But do these kits really behave reliably, or does making the conversion also buy yourself a future of leaks, problems, parts, and fixes? I'd rather dump $80k in a GT-R than spend $30k more to get my Z to 500 whp with appropriate accessory mods only to have it be a 'shop' car getting fixed rather than a track car being driven.
Thoughts?

I think you have answered your own question. 370z stock block was not designed to be blown. All components are stressed when aftermarket parts are bolted on. My stock clutch started to fail withing 8 weeks of going forced induction. Clearly longevity of motor will be compromised. If you can live with size of GTR that would be much better investment. Very few people are will to build 370z forced induction car properly. I count myself in that large crowd as I will run stock motor until it blows and they build up motor truly built to handle forced induction.
