Message	beautiful car man..i have two of its previous generation turbo versions blown in my garage as we speak. i learned the hard lesson twice that these engines are very finicky to poor tuning , gas , boostspikes in cold weather, loose wastgate hoses, check petit racings website for all the general fixes to get the car reliable. keep it stock , dont go over 13psi, 93oct or better gas, premix two cycle oil in gas.ect..ect...When you do get a rebuild which will be soon...get the Atkins two piece seals. ...but damn man, gorgeous car.i loveit, ...but you just cant beat the torque of a twin turbo 300zx snappin your neck as you change gears ; )
