I bought a non-sport z and looking to buy a SC as well. I've never heard anybody say we needed to upgrade our VLSD.
As no one touched on this... doesn't a base non-sport Z have an open rear diff?

correct, only cars equipped with the sport package or the nismo have a VLSD.

Ricardo, the GTM SC kit is pretty popular on the forum and should give the extra umph you are looking for. My main thing with going FI though is that problems are to be expected. A few members on the forum had very bad experience while others seem not to go through as many issues. As for me personally, I would use the money to go FI and apply it on a GTR without losing any warranty.

Cool website boss man

Thanks Ricardo, the current Z generation wins hands down in the look department over cars that cost twice or even 3 times as much. I admit catching myself checking out the curves on the car at times One of the huge plus with the Z is the value to price ratio, it almost doesn't get any better than this and yes why go for a more expensive car when you can go with one that offers excellent performance at a mighty reasonable price.
Enjoy boosting your car and post up pics when done

<off-topic>

Dude, please use spell-check or slow down. With minimal mistakes an average human can still read sentences and comprehend. That **** looks like some crap my 13yr old daughter would text to someone.

</off-topic>

OK, on-topic........If you think going F/I is a bargain, you are in for a surprise. If you go with GTM, you can purchase a turn-key it and be OK for a while. However, you must think supporting parts, maintenance, and "oh crap" funds with any F/I build. If you put my girl's income with mine, we still don't make 6 figures. I have a budget that I call "fun money" that supports my hobbies. I also have a credit card specifically for that "oh crap" moment. Hope you have fun with your Z.............

LOL......I got a CC with a pretty good limit on it just for a possible blown motor incident. That will give me a reason to go with forged internals.

<side bar>

When I get outta this hell-hole, I'm gonna look you up dude. Most definitely when I am on post-tour leave.

Ricardo,

I have a hard time believing that your company is bringing in 250k+ if you don't know how to structure your sentences correctly. As for your website, (I'm a designer and developer) you should probably change the copyright date.

Ricardo/GrandPa,
I surely hope you are well into your 70's, if you are calling me "kid"...

- Reading & Writing.. It's "fundamental"... So you really should get on that..

I look forward to your "I blew my engine, now what do I do" thread...

GL!

Not trying to be a ****, but there are plenty of people that are much more wealthier than we are while still not being able to form a simple sentence in english...

I work with C level execs that can't spell for **** but pull in millions of dollars each year. Do a few misspelled words dictate ones success, I think not. Maybe it signifies laziness, but not success or their level of income.

If the dude says he pulls $250K a year, so be it......

This is off topic but these two statements are why the thread went south:

The value of $10K to one man may differ from another. For the guy that has a family and household to maintain, spending $10K (whether he has it or not) may not be viable at that moment in time. My wife and I just had twin boys (not asking for any sympathy or anything...lol) and I'd love to boost my car. However, I now have to think about the two additional mouths I have feed in addition to diapers, clothes, medical coverage and college funds. To me, the $10K is better invested into my sons future at this point in time. Could I have purchased a more expensive car than my Z? Yep. Was it feasible at the time? Nope. It’s as simple as that.

I know many members on this forum that have the means to purchase more expensive vehicles but happily purchased a 370. In addition, we all mod our cars within the means available to us. So, I don't see the merit or value of the two above statements......

Sorry for the rant........
