Be careful, they might pistol shoot you.

Ok - as for the yellow z I had last year the master cylinder in the clutch dropped continuously even with only a few thousand miles - so Nissan bought it back.

As for my child - lost her in first trimester so thanks for calling me a "troll" or full of "bs"


So I can provide pics of my gtr if you all need proof but all in all some of you guys are being flat out pricks.


Can we get back on track o the post. I see on average 10-12 370z around Knoxville regularly.

You can get the fortune kit if you buy from veilside Japan and pay or air freight - comes out to about 13k before install and paint

If you want to waste money.

LSX for the win.

Hahahaaaa... you took the words right outta my mouth brother... I had a 93 Rx-7. The 13b alone can be modded to get 500hp without going to extremes. In puerto rico, they have the fastest street legal rx7 on record. 900 street legal hp. All on the 13b. In PR you will find 2/3 of all Rx7 specialists., The rx7's and the old skool corolla's are like the unofficial national classic sports cars of pr. Lol.

The drawback to the Rx is low torque to hp ratio. But... boost and handling capability keeps the car crazy fun.

LS1 (not even going to get into the LS2/3/6/7) stock block/crank can handle 1000 HP. Doesn't take much beefing of the tranny to get there either.

500 crank HP is a baby cam, intake and exhaust away ($2000-ish). 500 WHP would take some decent heads (probably $1000 for re-done 5.3L or LS6 heads), a different cam, and intake manifold ($400ish). So we're up to about $4000ish to get to 500 WHP in a 15 year old motor, and it'll do it reliably.

I don't think there is a better performance bang-for-the-buck out there, except MAYBE the 2JZ-GTE...and the platform it rides in costs a fortune.

You rotor-heads need to get real lol...the concept was neat, but its such a terrible motor to mod and actually depend on...oh, and lets not forget that the putting an LSX in the FD IMPROVES the F/R weight distribution since the 13B is a veritable boat anchor
