Default Does anyone know who owned this Z?

There is a supercharged Z for sale at a Nissan dealership in New England. I'm trying to see if anyone on the forum may recognize it and know the previous owner. The dealership isnt thrilled to give me his info because I doubt they want me to know they traded it in for some crazy low price. Any info would help.

i dont know... but if its really supercharged, id 100% get the motor checked out by a professional Z shop in the area if they will allow it... get the tune and motor checked out... cause be a hack job. other than that looks awesome on the outside. but honestly be wary... they arent going to cover that motor EVER no matter what happens so cover your self and spend the money to have the install/tune/motor check out.

well... it is a stillen supercharger so its not like there is much they can do... now that i relook at it. i believe they cant be tuned and have some sort of a locked ecu or something that makes them really safe, but doesnt make much power lol. anyways GL on finding the original owner of that car.

Inskip is where we held our 1st annual T350GZ meet. Seems like a good dealership to do business with. They sell on the show rooms floor stillen parts, so if it is a stillen SCer, I am sure they know about the condition. +1 though on getting it inspected by someone other than the dealership to make sure everything is on the up and up.

Carfax would have his name. I actually live in the same city as the dealer.

I believe the title has the owners name. I have the carfax and no luck there. Naughty240 any chance I can convince you to stop and take a look and give me an enthusiasts overview of condition? I'm looking to get back into a Z and this lloks like a solid platform to have some fun with.

As far as the forced induction aspect I would not be much help. Im an autobody tech so that is the only area could honestly help in. If you are serious Im sure I could find some time.

I would inquire about the warranty though. Like you said you dont want it to blow up. Im not even sure who in RI could be able to give the inspection it needs.
