Message	and I am a Z32 freak and have three VGDETT's in various forms of completeion along with a new wiring harnes. I only need an ECU and a few sensors and I'll have a running motor. The Busa V8 had crossed my mind but at $20,000 less ecu and harness it's just not cost effective. Plus I'd need one built to handle boost so add another $5-6K. You get the idea. Plus this will be a nice way to rebirth my old Z, I'll be using the longblock from my burned car as a starting point for the build. Who knows, maybe my ITB version 2.0 will be fitted to the Champ Car. Rob'Z
