yea i got the first post lol i feel like i should win a award!

How many of us are thinking about or are for sure getting this kit? Thinking about is where I'm at on this.

$5600 for a turn-key is incredible

i really wanna get the car paid off first. Its gonna be bewteen getting a used GTR or this kit. just gonna see what the money is looking like life is crazy lol I really dont want a car payment again and the GTR is gonna be a big car payment!! so everyday its gonna be different lol How soon do you think youll pull the trigger?

You will spend the cost of this kit in maintenance for a GTR every 10-15k miles...

Depending on cash flow next week. Half down and pay over 12 months but will pay it off early. Really hoping to get the tier 3 price.

Maintenance isnt what you think. A guy here in KC is selling his GTR for 50,000. It does have alot of miles 49K but he just took it up to macarthy nissan to get maintenanced and it wasnt bad at all. I've joined the GTR forum to learn more about the maintenance. Buying new rotors and tires are the biggest expenses. That said i never buy the OEM tires or parts back on the car. Why pay 4k for a set of GTR OEM rotors when i can just get aftermarket for 2K for all four wheels. same for tires. why spend 2k for a set of tires when i can buy Nitto Invo size 285 30 20 for $282. Maintenance of a turbo Z would be in the same ball park with the GTR they are both a nissan and pretty much the same engine. At the end of the day your taking a NA car to a turbo car so id feel better getting a car that was made to be turbo'd.

the financing is tempting!!!

I'm about to write a check and send it to them....that close. I'm already going to buy their 4.2L this coming winter. So why not I say. Going for the 20g turn key set with 3" exhaust......sh*t 700hp+ might hit by Feb of next year at these prices.

yea you wont see your car again for two years!! GTM is so slow lol i guess they have a lot of volume.

if they can offer the same financing on their stage 1.5 sc and work the price down slightly (to be on par with this kit), then i'm going that route. looking for engine longevity, and a DIY install. only thing that still gets me about a tt system is i cant do a home install

I'll be damned if I have that happen. I'm buying the full engine and having it shipped to me. Going to keep the stock engine as a back up and also for number matching purposes.

why cant you?

well.. let me rephrase i guess. i dont wanna do 48+ hours on a home install WIHOUT a lift... would rather take a long weekend and knock out a sc kit. that and the lower torque on the sc kit is really pulling me that way



side note: does anyone in kc know where i can get a taco truck for the dyno day? figured that may be better than getting pizza

you get a kit?

or u still looking

:stirthepot:

You could do the Boosted Performance kit in your garage in a long weekend...

I thought with the BP kit you have to ship your car there

thats smart. because i would laugh so hard if they had your car 6 months to a year :roflpuke2: but on the other hand youd have extremely low miles!!

not at all.

Ok wrong kit then. im thinking of S&R. the shop out of florida

Yea. But BP doesn't have pricing or fiinancing like thise

and they also, from what I've been reading, include a blown engine for free after a few thousand miles. S & R that is..

Off subject but...
Seriously more SNOW! when will it ever end... though it helps me procrastinate more in finishing all the stuff on the car.

I hoping to only have about 5k on the engine before it gets pulled...:tup:

I seen that :facepalm: WHEN WILL IT END????????? So ready for Spring to kick in

I've seen a ton of roach coaches around town. Some of them have f*cking awesome food. Just have to locate them and ask. I'm sure they will show up for 40+ people eating.

Check with Chad at KC Trends. He has a coach come out for Fast Fridays but I haven'l a clue who it is.

I forget when the dyno is but is there is time, you might want to check out a First Friday's in the Crossroads District. There are usually several there and you can sample their offerings.

here is a dated (2011) picture from the PO.:excited:

Datsun : Z-Series in Datsun | eBay Motors

Seriously, it's in my home town and Ive been itching for an excuse to go down there. Picking this sucker up would be more than enough reason. That thing looks amazing.

i seriously never seen such a clean 280zx. that one is collector quality.

sooo hooked on classics right now:yum:

Off subject, but I know some of you are firearms guys...
I just snatched up a pair of new toys today (sorry spring Z mod budget)

Got a Springfield XDs 45 for CC and a 9mm Sig p226 tacops and effectively doubled my firearms collection lol

Had to tell someone cuz I'm stoked! Now to find some 9mm ammo...

Congrats, and good luck finding 9.....

poor Z. being neglected :shakes head:

Mine isn't....talked with GTM this evening and getting the ball rolling on buying the 4.2L, stage 4 turbo system, boost controller, stage 5 fuel system and traction controller.:tup:

hey now, she's got a fresh coat of wax on and an oil cooler and berk cats waiting to be equipped :)

hell yea, thats a great pickup. that reminds me, i still need to finish my ar upper


o yea, also.... EFFFFF YOUUUUU SNOOOOWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i didn't plan enough little z projects for this long of a winter to keep me entertained

make sure you take it to the shop who installed your sts turbo please! :bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl: :nutswinger::nutswinger: :happydance::driving: :rofl2: :stirthepot::stirthepot:

If you were a woman I'd punch you in the face! :roflpuke2:

Plus I'm going to do the install....probably, depending on how much of a pain it's going to be.

OMG please let GTM do all tha for you lol Why arent you goin with the FI turbo system?
