Interesting way to advertise a shop. Sounds like he is experienced. Thanks

I have had my Z aligned multiple times at 3 different places. the last time wiht Jeff..... I was happy with every alignment, but Jeff corner balanced and spec'd it out for less money than the previous two shops did. it took him 4.5-5 hrs to do it.

He is a different character, but he is an enthusiast at heart and will do a good job for you

Thanks for the info guys. Just waiting for Z-season to start, drive a couple of weeks,
install my camber kit and on to allignment. It kind of s**ks to have to wait a couple months for a test drive on my install.

Did you just bleep out "sucks"?? Nice! ..... And greg that car is sweet and the milage is crazy but ive been around those a lot and worked on them a little, in fact ive got a motor for one in my garage, but I think the only color to get with those is black... They've got black seals for the hatch and doors and t tops on the car and to me it looks a little silly with any color thats not at least dark.

That's way overpriced for a 90. Nice, though.

But I bet the value of the car will go up being that I believe it will become a collector like that of the RX7 and Supra, and with only 7xxx miles on it you will have a hard time finding one with less

the Z32 twin turbo is a nice car, but still a half step or more behind either the RX7 or Supra. The RX7 is timeless. The body style is still beautiful today. the supra, well, just nothing else really like it.

the Z, looks like a 90's car it doesn't have the timeless look of the 7, nor the seeming-less unlimited power potential of the supra. I think most Z collectors will look past the Z32 in favor of the older Z cars. I say all that, not to bash the car because I do like it, just that I don't think it will hold a special place as a collector car

Long time no see, guys! Coming back to MN in a couple months to see my fiance.

Planning on giving my soon-to-be wife my WRX, and buying my buddy's R32 GTR. I'll be able to bring it back with me to the US in 2015 as a collector. I'll keep you updated over the years. He's doing a Fairlady interior conversion. Gonna see how far he gets before I take it off his hands in a couple months.
