I've been eavesdropping on the site for a while now, trying to decide on my next project. Some time next year I will be buying a Z. I have just about wrapped up my current project and will be needing a new one. I already have a Titan and an Armada, so I might as well stick with Nissan. I have been extremely happy with them so far. Here are some pics of my current rides. Hopefully I'll have a Z to park next to them soon.

Thanks man. I haven't decided on color yet, but I'm thinking it will be white or silver. My favorite color is the blue, but I don't think I want that much attention. My biggest decision right now, is whether to go FI or NA. I have never owned a real sports car, so I think a full bolt-on Z will have plenty of power for me. My fastest vehicle to date was a 6.0 Silverado, so it's not gonna take a lot to impress me.

Thanks Triple's.
Alchemy, I looked at your album. Great looking Z! I know if I get any color besides the blue, I'll end up regretting it. There is one question I wish I had asked before I bought my Titan. So, I better ask it this time around. What are the weak links on the Z? I have only read about the need for an aftermarket oil cooler. If I decide to build a 400 RWHP supercharged Z 6MT, what supporting mods will be necessary to keep the car running strong for years to come?

Yeah oil cooler and some people have trans probs, myself included. Im starting to get a grind into 3rd and 5th. As far as FI Im no expert but I believe the car can handle that kind of power no prob.

Thanks man, the new 5.0 is another option I was considering. But, there are too many of them where I live. I definately think they are the car to beat right now.
