Is it a Suburu? What the ???? I love that statement. It just about sums it up.
However, I'd love to have the 4WD units and an extra 150 horses to back it up in our Z's. I'd pay 45K for that !!!!

Kinda scary knowing your car might not have these things. Yeah, XS engineering is a awesome shop.

The re-welded cars are more troublesome, who knows if they did a good job lining everything up or not.

stupid government
People can drive around in 500 dollar CRXs and yet the retarded government somehow thinks a 50,000 NISSAN GTR is somehow unsafe or unroadworthy? The feds are actually willing to spend money on going after a few car enthusiasts driving what amounts to a perfectly safe vehicle manufactured by one of the largest car manufacturers on the planet. This country has some serious prioritization problems, what about dealing with the 100s of thousands of gang members and felons, or the millions living in poverty or 50 million living without health insurance. Seriously this country has issues.

Hey ZRAYGO if you can't play w/ the big boys get out of the game. Oh yeah you did after soiling your pants when you clould'nt handle what XS gave ya what you coud'nt give yourself.
You post your the 1st for to install this and that, but in reallity your the 1st to sell his z after a little spin out accident and to top it off you let go for nothing.Thes are all signs of a mangina.
SEEMS LIKE WITH YOUR BUDGET YOU SHOULD KEEP TO RC CARS.

Umm sell Z after spin out!? I spinned out with traffic all around me. I managed to keep the spin in the same lane which was lucky for me. No way I would sell my Z for that though. Although it did make me more careful afterwards though. I hope that Zraygo really didnt do that. Anyway, can't we all get along.

Well... I always thought he was a criminal for what he charged for used Skylines -- this proves it.
We can still get GT-R32's in Canada -- can't import a car newer than 15yrs old from the build date... if it was never originally produced for North American markets. Right now you can pick up a GT-R32 for about CDN$22-27K depending on what aftermarket parts are on it.
