Hi, I'm completely new to the 350z community and I'm am looking to buy one. My difficulty is deciding between the DE and HR. I have a few questions, 1. Which one can more of a beating for lots of races, drifting around, and track days. 2. Which one is better for modding such as air intake, exhaust system, turbo/supercharger. And finally 3. Which one is going to last longer as far as being driven hard, miles, and transmission? Thank you so much! Please remember I have no clue and want to learn. I am 19 so keep that in mind with my speed demon, drift everything, be loud phase.

Compared to the DE, the HR burns less oil, has more HP, and has a better transmission that can take a beating.
If you want more tuning opportunities, options, and fine fine tuning, the DE is better with it.
Most people choose the DE motor because of cost and availability of parts. They can both take beatings but the DE is all around cheaper.
From what I hear though, don't go with the rev-up.
The most important question here is, will this be daily driven or a weekend warrior?

One item not mentioned is the HR tends to run hotter than the DE. When that happens the ECM intervenes by pulling timing and if temps go beyond 240 deg F, you may go into limp mode for circuit racing. Be sure to take some professional driving lessons to help you learn how to properly drive the Z.

spot on. Don't wanna get someone else's problem that ends up costing over twice what you paid for it. Just ask some of the recent threads
