So I was planning on selling my 2006 350z enthusiast with only 28.5k miles. Apart from the nismo exhaust the car is completely stock. So I found this guy sellin his 1994 Supra with a single turbo all modded up
Here's a list of what he has (including prices I guess):
NEW MOTOR WITH 200 MILES 4000.00 PLUS 1500 INSTALLED
POLISHED GREDDY T78 TURBO KIT PRICE 4700.00

VIPER ALARM SYSTEM 1000.00
ALPINE DECK,KICKER SUB AND AMP 500.00
CM 4PUCK STAGE 3 CLUTCH RATED 600 WHEEL HORSEPOWER

THE CAR NEEDS NEW CARPET AND TO MAKE IT PERFECT NEW PAINT JOB THIS CAR HAS NO LEAKS NO MOTOR OR TRANS ISSUES

So after talking to the guy he said he would sell the car with everything for $25k or he would sell it for $17k but would take off all the mods and replace the engine with the stock twin turbo engine with 115k miles

So to the people who have modified their 350z's and hopefully driven a modded supra, which do you think is better?
My stock 06 Enthusiast w/ 28.5k miles and nismo exhaust or the modded single turbo 1994 Supra mk4 for $25k (or $17k with stock TT)??
If you guys could give me reasons why you choose one over the other id really appreciate it (but please don't say things like because the Z is a chick magnet or because the supra looks better)
Thanks for all your guys' help!

You have problems with your Z?
In all honestly i love(d) the Supra but it seems that it is a money pit, you already have the Z with low miles, just keep it

Keep you Z.
Get some fast&furious dvd's and watch e'm instead of
buying a Supra.

step one- reach into pocket and take out a quarter (or any other coin)
step two- flip into air and call heads or tails
step three- repeat step two until you reach the conclusion you want.

What is your goal in owning one? To win race wars?

Just keep your Z and stop looking into for sales sections.

I had a 95 Supra TT converted to a single with a T-78. My boosted Z has almost $20k in it so they are both money pits if you want them to be. If the Supra has all the supporting mods (forged internals, fuel system , etc.) you can make huge power with that turbo. At the same time you can make big power with the VQ if that is what your goal is.

Just depends on how much you want to spend. I love both cars so either way you are good in my book.

Do you want a reliable thats semi new car or an older car that will be prone to breaking thats faster.

I've recently been contemplating the same thing... I want something different . It seems every little douchelord has a 350z these days that they rice out and are causing a sterotype. Oh and my z is already tt'd

Do you have a dd already? Do you have the cash to fix if either car breaks because of mods? Also did the guy have the Supra modded at a reputable shop?

brian2193

Well the main reasons I would want to sell the Z is because around where I live I see at least 3 - 6 350z's daily and maybe 2 - 3 370z's so I would want something that isn't seen much and also because I want a 4 seater sports car. I'm over the 2 seats. I mean ive seen people convert their Z's into a 4 seater but it didn't look so nice and the back looks extremely cramped

brian2193

Oh yea but I'm not looking into American muscle, I prefer imports

bb17

Well it sounds like you know what you want, so why ask this forum?

brian2193

Just to see what people think. Also maybe they can tell me about other cars I might've forgotten about

Problem is your driving around in a stock Z. Its the same over here, there's Z's all over the place. Modded Z's are numbers are a lot less here. Every time I drive around I'll see atleast one or two, always stock though.

Nearly 20 year old Supra -are you nuts? Unless you are a very experienced mechanic, it would be foolish to buy such a highly modded car. While it has a new engine in it, it's not a stock setup so it could turn out to be a maintenance nightmare.

The Supra is my favorite car, hands down. If I could have, I would have bought one instead of the Z I just bought. However, everyone here has made an excellent point- it's an 18 year old modded car and you aren't sure of the history of it. The only Supra you should sell your Z for is for a bone stock Supra so you know it hasn't been horribly abused.

brian2193

Ok well I guess I'll stick with the Z cuz in all honesty I wouldn't know how to fix the supra if it were to breakdown. But can anyone give me advice on some basic mods that would make the Z better? Like maybe some eibach springs or nismo headers, etc? Thank you guys for helping
