FI vs New car

You'd lose most of cost of the TT kit once you sell the Z. It might add 5-7k to your resale value if it's done right, but doing so would

You'd lose most of cost of the TT kit once you sell the Z. It might add 5-7k to your resale value if it's done right, but doing so would probably cost 10-12k. 2 years is a decent stretch of time though. At least to a younger guy. But just think about what you could do with that money to your future GTR!

Plus think about how long it will take you to complete a TT kit and then get it running properly. That will give you a bunch of down time. Why waste the money AND time. Drive your car and enjoy it for what it is.

If u plan it right and do ur homework downtime isn't so bad. My downtime was 2 weeks. Not from my fault, got some items later than expected. But if I could do it over I wouldn't change. I'm prolly still under 30k difference between my boosted G and a GTR.

You are the exception.

OP do your research through the threads here like I did when considering TT
