Or, just take the $25,000 and get a used GTR and finance the rest, but then the challenge is finding one that doesn't have transmission issues and/or has not been destroyed.
In the end, I've decided just to keep the car as a daily, leave it where it's at, and fingers crossed Nissan gives us a factory turbo updated 370z where you can just do bolt ons/ecu tunes. Otherwise, there are other platforms to consider.
Best part: with this whole "virus" thing, there's going to be some great used car deals to be had, so I'm keeping my eyes open.

Well,
I will say this. How people spend their money, is completely their own affair. As with anything there are pitfalls in life. It is not how you fall, its how you get back up.
Your consideration to spend the equivalent money on a used GTR35 (at 50k prob going to be a CBA) with questionable history and very expensive to repair parts is your choice.
For someone who looks at the $$$ first (what im guessing from your post) then you are making a sensible decision to keep your car stock, to later trade it in for something perhaps more modern and perhaps faster.. Thats a great idea.
My choice, was a personal one. I i like this car like a Ed Bolian (VinWiki) likes manual Lambo Merci's. When you love your car, you are willing to make different financial decisions..
Me personally, I have enjoyed turning wrenches on this car just as much as I have driven it. It is a hobby I enjoy. People have different motivations, but this one is mine.
What im trying to drive home is this: I made this thread to share my account. I love reading other people's stories, so I thought Id share mine.
I hope you Z gives you the same enjoyment as mine has.
