Thanks guys...it's been great.
 

Ouch, sorry to hear that man. I was expecting an absolute MONSTER once your car was done.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

Don't quit, hang in here!!

damn, sucks to hear that.... stick in there!!

Good Luck with whatever you decide man.
but the first time i sat in your Z i felt like a little kid in a candy shop. (it didnt even have TT when i saw it)

That would sound better coming from a girl...:icon8:

Sad story...

Um...so can I have all your parts ? LOL

No, serious...

Too bad it isnt comming from a girl..... Sorry man. If you had a Ferrari maybe a girl might say that to you

My Z is one of the few things in life I haven't got tired of. I'm use to getting cars every 2 years, hooking them up and getting bored and selling them. I got the 3rd Z in NM in '03 and through ups and downs of modding I can honestly say I still love it. I can say there were at least 2 times where I was frustrated and ready to bag it but a few days later I came to my senses. I'm just saying give it some more time and hopefully you'll come to the right conclusion. Would hate to see you leave. Jason

Thanks man. I'll keep that in mind.

So alex its not like completely conclusive then right?

not yet...still deciding...

I am apalled at a six figure sum put into a Z33, a few "supercars" come to mind for that kind of money...but I can also sympathize with you and your love for the Z...all is not lost!
Have you considered a more robust drivetrain, like an RB26 or even the (gasp!) 2JZ? Your Z would live on, make stupid power while being bulletproof, and even earn brownie points for being "different" if that's important to you! (and I know it is:icon38: ). Although I'm sure RB's in Z33's are like SR's in 240sx's nowadays

I've heard/seen too many horror stories with boosting the VQ35, yet folks continue to boost?!

man with all that money you've spent in there Alex , imo that you should keep this car man this car and you have been through alot of headache and trouble . but you know what? it's always turned out to be nice in the end when it done right . good luck to you .

Also your the tallest asian person i know that drives a Z. You dont want to lose that reputation

aww.. sorry to hear that (although I'm relatively new... but whatever). But hey, just keep the Z stock! and mod some other track car or whatnot. Sides, we gotta do that meet at SFSU :)

ChiShi

*edit, ^ how tall are you? just curious :D

stick it out!!! SELL ALL THE PARTS And put a RB26DET or a FULLY BUILT SR20DET!!!!!

Ditch the VQ go RB26dett

I'm not a fan of RB's. I like VQ42DETT's......

hey alex...i like how you have two threads, one showing the possibility of you ditching the car and this thread that hints at a stroker kit.

i'm not gonna repeat what Bing said, but to sum it up, you didn't invest the money you did to go fast. you did it to be different and try things others have not tried. by parting it out, you'll have abadoned the reason for building the car.

in the end, it is your money, and 10-15k is A LOT in anyone's book.

if it was me, either get the car back up and running (nothing additional) or build it back all the way up. i wouldn't sell it.

best of luck bro.
