Thumbs up My first 350Z

hey everybody... I recently got my 2003 350 Z in December so close to a year now...I got it from the dealer...it already came with 19 in rims nitto tires borla exhaust and intake...it drives good...but i'm looking to have not only a fun car but a reliable fast car that I can daily drive...i'm thinking of getting a GTM rotrex supercharger in it...GTM is only like 20 mins away from my house...but I was told that my 03 Z is a DE motor which they said it was a "throw away motor" can I have any comments on that please? I only rev up to 6500 RPM and I would like to rev higher...i'm use to reving like 8500 lol my Z already has looks so I just need power but at the same time have that daily driver reliability...please let me know what you guys think...

thanks

"Throw away motor"??
I've had my 03 Touring for 10 years.
When does the "throw away" start?
My Z runs better than new at 82k.
You keep hitting those 8,500 revs,yours
will be throw away pretty quick!

don't even plasti dip it. you'll just end up making it more ricey. the car will look better without the grill altogether.

I actually did came from the Honda world which I still have now but my good motor blew up... Is it possible to swap it for a 370z vq37hr and use the same stock 350z tranny? Or can this motor alone make pretty good power?

I was actually thinking of getting rid of that grill to add the detractable or however it's spelled license plate, to hide it and show it remotely, where can I find those?
