I've barked up this tree for the last 2 years. I've learned two
things, both are money pits if you plan to mod them.
But the Z is dirt cheap in comparison.
In the end, **** happens, and if it does you'll be much happier in a Z, heres how I've done my math.
Blow your trans in your Z? $1500 form a wreckers, $7k for a built one, $12k for a quafi sequential dogbox.
Blow you trans in a GTR? $12k for a rebuild, $25k for a replacement if you blow the housing. Junkyard ones are hard to come by.
Blow your VQ37VHR? $2500 from a wreckers, $10k for a built 4.5.
Blow your VR38DETT? $15k from a wreckers, and built ones you won't really need unless you're joining the 1k hp club.
Same applies to suspension and brakes.
Unless you need AWD, the Z is lighter and cheaper in the long term.
