Default Potential buyer here!

http://houston.craigslist.org/cto/2948217880.html

is the Z i'm thinking of buying.
This is also the car I am going to be getting into the car world with as well, so I do not know a lot about cars.

I have a few questions. For one, this guy is getting a tuner to change to remove the engine light due to the removal of the cat. This is because his exhaust runs all the way from the engine. He also set the rev limit higher. My question is, why would you do that if the VQ35DE engines have a redline of 6600?

i think every exhaust runs to the engine im no expert then. some people want it to pull a little longer i guess thats what the higher redline is for nissan bumped it up 2 times on later 350's

Exaggeration aside can someone explain the need to extend the rev limiter?

Welcome. This is the New Owners forum for, well, New Owners. Why members find this confusing is beyond me.

Im in the market for a Z (for ages now, still couldn't find my perfect baby) and I would never buy a Z that had that many lights on it. It looks cheesy imo. It instantly drives me away.
