I have read a lot on this forum even before taking delivery of my 2013 370Z Sport in July 2013. I had a 2003 350Z and wanted a 370 in a bad way.
I finally got one and gave the 350 to my younger bro.

which by the way is an awesome car. It's a bit more fun to drive then the 370.

I wanted to boost my 370 and even invested in a complete Stillen SC kit (yeah I know

) a month after I purchased the car. It was only then that I really started reading all the threads about FI.

My conclusion as it applies to me. Purchase a GT-R. Yes it is 65 - 75 K more expensive than a stock 370Z. Add all the FI mods and headaches and that 65 - 75 K turns out to be a lot less. The GT-R seems to hold it value as well.
I have sold my FI kit to a forum member here before I installed it. I purchased a LTI, CBE, and springs. I will keep my 370 as close to stock as possible and sell it in a year and upgrade to a GT-R or possibly another car like a 2014 Vette, M3 or 911.
By the way the car is my toy. It is something I always wanted and I now have a few bucks and can afford a toy. It is not a DD.

I enjoy the forum and I am sure there are many FI success stories out there.
Good luck with the repairs Cosmogirl I hear you hinting at the GT-R, thus my motivation to respond.
