I still have my Z but I'm selling it very soon. I bought a truck and I love the freedom of not having to drive a lowered car every day around everything known to man.

I do miss the power of the z though, just not the headach.

Mine is doing the opposite. She's wanting me to get rid of the Z for a Porsche. I actually said no, I'm fine for at least another few years as I've put too much money into this car and still enjoy driving it every day I get into it.

I regret selling mine, I sold it to get a bigger car (g37). I still see the z every now and then and that's when I regret it the most.

I have been thinking of going back to a z, but now I'm leaning toward a (terminator) cobra or (gt) 500.

I thought this was a poll but NO. I don't regret it. Since my Z I've had an STi and I'm currently in an Evo, both of which are way more fun for me. Not to mention, both would stomp on my Z, my Evo especially.

IDK about all that, i had a Evo VIII last year with bolt ons, tune etc so i would know first hand and just my Z with these mods has takin down a Evo 8 with bolt ons and a Evo 9 with tune, intake, and MBC. I think a TTVQ Z or a RB powerd Z would plaster a Evo or STI

Then again i didnt have your mods: "AMS 2.3L Mivec Stroker, AMS GT3076, AEM Black, some bells, couple whistles - 432AWHP on pump" but i think my single turbo RB30 project could handle it lol but i do miss my Evo tho



lol sorry, back to the OP Never sell you z unless its for a GTR lol

That RB30 should make a fun car. Where'd you score that motor?

I actually got my a$s handed to me in the Nooga in 2005 or 2006 in my Z to a RB26'd S13.

Them dang Rb 240s aint no joke, the power to weight ratio is what does it, i mean you throwing a bada$$ motor into a light a$$ car, i use to have a KA-T 240sx back in the day, was my 1st car. Kinda miss it. Im getting most of if not everything from motor to custom parts from RIPs Performance in NZ, Shooting for 800hp street car, would like to take it to the 1000hp street car level just so i can go down to the TX2K Supra meets and smoke some of them since they think they have it all, i would be a total sleeper until i put the pedal to the floor, would love to see there faces lol. I was thinking about buying a Supra when i was selling my Z but there is nothing in the world like hearing a 1000HP RB Screaming at 9k Rpms lol. I was in the market for a R33 GTR but the US is REALLY Craking down on Skylines, so a Rb30 Z will have to do lol

There's a garage in the Noog that does a lot of swaps, or at least there was. I know b/c I followed the 240 to the shop and the guy was showing me all of the cars he was working on. You familiar with him/them? I don't remember a shop name or the dude's name. He was really cool and looked to be doing good work.

It would be nice to get with that guy again and do a re-match on a track, possibly get my soul returned back to me since he dominated my Z in his time-machine-like vehicle.

Power-to-weight, ah yes. One day, maybe soon, I will be doing a crate LS in an RX-7. I think that'll be my next project.

My wife is gonna be pissed.
