Message That when most people go to the extent of replacing turbos, they will generally upgrade instead of install used stockers. The amount of time and effort it takes to swap them is too great to risk doing it a second time because of a gamble to save some $$.

Injectors: Same deal there, but to a lesser extent. There is bigger, and newer. ("new style" 94+ injectors are becoming the common replacement for the "old style" ones).

FMIC: Our cars (Z32's) do not work well with FMIC's because they block the entire cooling area for the radiator and the A/C condenser. Most will upgrade the SMIC's.


The aforementioned notwithstanding, the economy sucks too... people that would spend money on parts for their Z's are not spending money right now. If you can afford it, hold onto them a while longer, otherwise try selling them on eBay with no reserve and see what they get for ya.

Best of luck.
