Message	allows us performance enthusiasts the mod the shizzle out of the various systems of the car simply with bolt-ons and be able to rely on the rest of the OEM components to handle the task. Obviously there are going to be limits, but you can make a solid 350RWHP/350RWTQ with a Z that has only had a few bolt-ons performed. A stock crank can handle over 1200HP and 1000ft/lbs of torque. So can the block. This was done on an NA differential, which is weaker than the TT diff. Stock half-shafts, stock gearbox, OEM ECU... It is just too bad that most of the people that had the money to buy one of these vehicles when they were new also thought it was too much money to pay for a "Nissan". If they only knew...... This was the demise of the Z32 in North America. Sad, but true. [ ashspecz.com ] [ agpowers@bellsouth.net ] Enthusiasts soon understand each other. --W. Irving. Are you an enthusiast?
