IDK if you have modded a engine like that before. but one thing that they always say is. nothing is 100% bulletproof, and if you want reliability. keep it stock or very basic bolts ons.

most of the time with good parts, tuner, INSTALLER. you will be fine. but i need to be able to take it to a Nissan dealership anywhere in my state, and not worry about getting something fixed. all they should be able to work with OEM parts.

Yeah I have seen that most people who go FI start to have engine problems, suprising how many people actually deal with issues from FI, but most of which arent documented.

Test drive one though..and I would go with the touring over a base. The base seats are a bit too firm as a DD.

I had a '10 Roadster, it bit the dust, but that was because the dealership I bought it from owned it prior and bagged it. I wanted a Roadster over the Coupe as its just a more fun car to drive..but no roadsters were available.

They gave me a '11 coupe and its nice, but I couldn't keep it stock - main reason is because the stock sound of a Z is..well not for everyone. Once you do the mods though it comes alive and well is just that - a muscle car

Buy 2011 or 2012, touring with sports package and you'll be set, as for color its your choice.

X10 Mods make everything good.

Did you install the crank pulley yourself? If not how much did it run you?

FALSE! Tuning/Abuse is the cause of the FI problems. I know of no direct problem from any of the FI kits on this forum caused by the kit itself, or hurting the engine within its safe realm.

Well those are undocumented ones.

Most people wouldnt like to tell you it messed up their engine, because going FI in the first place is a big deal for a lot. But then again owning up to your mess is something a lot of people dont have the guts to do, even if there is no factual (tuning,abuse) reason why it happened.
