I thought you wrecked that car? Remember, i bought that kit from you. Sold it along with the car though.

8.5PSI? You really need to consider that the engine may not last long after you buy it, cause there is no way that motor is built for that amount of money!!!

I thought you said it was a PE kit? Eveyone seems to have a greddy they are a dime a dozen. Also don't do it, they want way to much for an 03 with 50K+ miles and it's not even a built engine. That could be a time bomb waiting to happen.

Dont do it. You dont know how the car was treated by the previous owners, and being on a stock block its trouble waiting to happen. Not to mention the price is way too high, those mods dont justify the extra 10k on the price...03's for for 16-18k now.

I didnt see the Volks, they average teh price out but the weak system doesnt increase the price at all. Its still a bad idea for someone who doesn't know what they are getting into.

Why dont you consider buying one from one of the members here? At least you know who owned it, what was done to it, and what the condition is. There's a lot of nice TT 350Z for sale here.

It is a good deal any way you look at it, ... if you can get them to 23K, then I'd say do it. But do you have any money (Cash) to pay for some tuning and posibly engine management??? B/c you'll need it!

Have a competent shop do a compression And leakdown test on the motor. Did you check with the Z guys in the Utah area yet?? They may know the original owner, and why they got rid of it....
Even if the motors on it way out, the parts and custom work alone make it a good deal. Pull the trigger, ... BUT have our wallet ready to make the car 100% if somethings wrong...
