:drama::drama::drama: More to join the group if i may

I'm in :drama::drama:

don't know how i forgot that, glad you're paying attention

we got more popcorn than GTM does turbos -_-

You guys throwing around 25k - 40k on performance parts are big pimping. I'd just LS swap mine and call it a day for half price.

I'm sure I would get tormented for having a half breed and would feel bad... until I punched it.

If someone wants to get philosophical about it, a car required to get to work could be considered an investement as the end result is a paycheck (as an investment is always in the pursuit of profit). The government recognizes this for businesses by allowing depreciation and mileage allowances.

A pleasure car is another story.

If the government stayed the F*CK out of people's business they'd have a lot more money for things like TT's and such. :tiphat:

I am not local, I SHIPPED my car to GTM. He is going to SHIP it back when they are done. I am located in Bellevue, Nebraska. About 5 miles outside of Offutt Air Force Base, if you want to get technical.

LS swapping is actually really expensive, you need to buy a jazzed up one to make it worth it, and the swap kits themselves are usually 3-5k and install is gonna murder your pocketbook. it ends up costing 10-30k all said and done to get the gauges and power-steering, and wiring, and exhaust, and drive shaft, and mounts, engine and transmission + work to bring them up to the performance level, bigger clutch and 5-10k in labor. If you DIY it yeah can save a lot of money but it ends up coming down to not that many people can actually DIY that.

Not to mention the $40K number came from Ill including the amount he paid for his Z ($22K) since GTM is in possession of the entire vehicle. I wouldn't expect a typical FI kit installed on a 370Z to push much past $20K.

That's what I was thinking. Pre owned TT kit is about 6k and another 1k if you want to revamp the turbos. 10 psi stock block is the better option then doing the swap, cutting, and worse of all re-sale of the car.

I've got connections to make it happen. However, I'm not sold on the idea yet.

Ok. That makes A LOT more sense. I was thinking that better do 9sec in the 1/4 for 40k.

sooooooo it seems 99% have had issues with them and 1% have had success with them. hmmmmm

I think it's majorty of people that have problems with their communication the time it takes to have parts delivered. Once they finally receive everything, is is as expected it should be quality wise. Few people, few that I know about anyways, have had quality controll issues, cracked manifolds and defective parts on delivery, but it gets sorted out majority of the time.

Such mods are expensive. What do I regret from this? Getting an EBC and a proper tune from the get go. I want more power. Why? It's fun, and it doesn't involve wreckless driving either. It feels good and sounds so cool, so I don't regret any of it. In fact, it's pretty rare I mash the throttle in 1st and 2nd.
