Thanks for the welcome fellas!

I'm wanting a Nismo, 2013+ for the stitch weld, but I honestly love the 2009 front bumper. I'm also partial to the 40th anni, such a clean set up. and NEEEEDs to be manual. I test drove a few autos (available on the lot) and they almost changed my mind on the Z altogether. Which is funny considering I work for an automatic only transmission shop.

It will take daily duty for awhile, the SpecV has a stupid lope profile.

If I am able to get a block to build, I want to set it up for low compression for twin turbo set up. I know the spec's motor was my own fault for not holding headgaskets (boost plus high comp) but I wanted to try something different. Lesson learned.

Eventually, long term I would like to do a wild highway run car that can handle HPDE duty. I eskate to work, or ride the bicycle in, and carpool with the brother, so theres no worry about down time if the motor goes, or during install. But knowing these can get beat on by owners, I tend to like to have a motor to drop in upon receiving, or for when going full boost.
