can anyone explain this?

So, $10k on Z (assuming I would get GTM SC) will be a better buy than trade-in + EvoX's turbo upgrade?

toner123

yes because you will be in your goal. also you will have a nicer looking car imo. Like I said those cars have engine problems once you upgrade the turbo because the internals can't handle. This info came from alot of reading and a buddy that owns A STI and EVO, who is now considering in selling and getting a z to TT

I had a 450 whp STi with stock internals for years and both the 4g63 and 4b11 Evo engines can handle HUGE power. Afraid you are misinformed re Evo engines.

Ok well thank you for correcting me. Like I said I was going based off what others said and from things i read, and I made sure to include that when i put that info in the post.

You don't need $10k to get a GTM SC.
$6k SC, $1.5k install... Still plenty left for other add ons...

Would I not need an oil cooler and clutch upgrade?

theDreamer

Yes and at some point.
This car will 100% need a solid oil cooler with any form of forced induction. The clutch will need to be replaced, but not required when you first add a SC or TT. If you go TT I would advise to do it then as the engine is already out of the car.

They are going to charge the same regardless if engine is out or not. There are a few of us running around with stock clutch for a little while now with no issues. So don't let that be a deal breaker.

I would pick a Z over any car. I have had alot of dealing with nissan built cars and the motors can take alot. If money is a problem then maybe look into a 300zx. I have a 300zx and a 370z. Drag racing wise the 370z can not compair witht the 300zx. But I have only had my 370z for a few months. I have alot of time in my 300zx. Slowly I'm warming up to the 370z. I'm planning a Stage 4 GTM build for my 370z in July. So maybe then it can hang with my 300zx. But will see..... It all comes down to which car do you like better. Cause you dont want to put the time and money in modding a car and then not like it. I have loved Z's scents I was a kid, I know not along time I'm only 22. But still I will keep both my Z's as long as I'm alive they are great cars. But thats just what I prefer.....

True so add another $2k... Ok you'll be down $10k if you include everything.
I was just talking about the SC, supporting mods would have to go on both cars.
