That is the nicest body kit I've seen on a Z32.

Clean!!!! the Z32 is my dream car. I was about to get one after selling my 370, but I didn't want the hassle of a project car (FI cars break down often, especially when they're 20+ y.o.). Then I looked at FD3S RX7's, thinking maybe an LS V8 swap because the rotaries are torqueless and unreliable. Again, didn't want the hassle of a Frankenstein project car. I don't got time to be working on cars....

btw, what's the hp and how quick is it in the 1/4?

I haven't taken it to the track yet, but the original owner who built it said it'll run mid to low 10's. It's putting down 622whp on 25lbs of boost. It has a fully built stage 2 Z1 long block w/ GT675rs turbos and methanol injection, tuned by Z1. No corners cut. It's a beast :)

What I heard is that Z32's aren't as popular with regards to building the motor as other FI'd Japanese cars of its time (R32 Skylines, Supra MKIVs, etc.) because the engine bay is very tight (V6 vs. inline 6). I heard that's the reason why the Z32TT doesn't have a strong aftermarket support as say, an R32 Gt-r or Supra TT.

I also heard they have problems laying down all that power e.g. wheel hop, losing traction, etc. even if you can pump out some serious hp. In other words, it's hard to get them to go faster than 12 sec 1/4's although the hp and torque mathematically sets it up for 11 sec or faster.

This is just what I heard.

Yep, all good points ^^ The engine bay is tight! Before I added decent tires (currently on r888s), it would swap ends in a heartbeat. It would break loose in literally every gear. Good tires and a traction control system are definitely in store at that power level.
