Default Buying a Z, couple questions.

i am buying a Z as soon as i can find one. Anyways, i am going to be adding a bunch of stuff as soon as i get it. ( have about 15k to spend ) after reading a bunch of posts here i have come to a conclusion i need a enthusiast model since it has HIDs and LSD already and i will be upgrading bunch of stuff anyways. How much should i expect to pay for one? i found a black one with 13k miles for $24,500. Is that a decent price?

Is there a estimated date that the APS Single turbo kit is coming out?

Will adding 19inch wheels/tiens get rid of my feathering issue?

also, should i be looking for only a 04? or are 03s ok, i know first year production cars arnt that great =p

also, can someone give me a couple good parts sites, so i can start looking at what i should get.

Thanks

Also, selling a 04 black 6spd G35 w/ 8k miles in VA if anyone is interested!

HOLY CRAP, 15k?

No it wont get rid of your feathering, only camber or toe bars will. Although that is in question because no one seems to know the dynamics of feathering.

Enthusiast is good choice; I'd stick to 04s or later.

Try to get at least an '04 if not an '04.5
There were actually some changes between the two.

The price you listed isn't too bad . . . haggle more.

I hear the APS single turbo is releasing in June.

19s won't address feathering, but I've had good luck after the laser alignment and about 10K miles.

Stick to 04+ . . . not too many changes, but it addresses a few of the irritating TSBs.

As for parts . . . a few vendors on here are great and I've even used these guys since they're authorized dealers of all their brands (very important for warranty issues).

$15K should get you a good bang for the buck (APS turbo kits) and some rims. I have about $16K in mine and need to put about another $4K to complete it since I went the Greddy TT route (prior to APS releasing their kits).

Hope that helps.
