Hey guys!
Well - I posted a bit ago about potentially buying back into the community... I am having trouble remembering how to search my own posts, and quite frankly, "Convertible" gives me more search results than I can handle...So - Long story short:
In 2004, I bought a 300ZX TT (NA Swap). The car was my introduction to performance (AND THE ABSOLUTE PAIN associated with a VG30DETT engine...). I loved it. It kept me happy for a few years. I sold it to a friend in the navy for about $2.5K less than he sold it for 2 months later.... ANYWAYS.
I bought a Supra in 2006. I upgraded it over time, and its my main toy. Its a fast thing, a bit flashy outside, not perfect inside. I put an AEMV2 in it, a bigger turbo, some big injectors, a few walboros - you get the point. Just to be clear - the supra is my power toy. Supra story cast aside, ahem. I have had a friend in the Navy for a few years... he had a 93' Z32 TT Convertible. Cherry Red... I saw it several times... I was really interested, but it was not for sale. It WAS for sale recently.... hehehe. -> Back in the community. Well, its in pretty decent shape, too... despite his inability to wash the thing. (And insane ability to find every freaking sap-dripping-POS evergreen tree near his house to park under) I borrowed it saturday, washed it... Oh man. Well... I took pics before, but I will bring more later! So - I paid $9,000 FOR:
93 300ZX Convertible Twin Turbo (Swap) ~-20K miles on engine.
I need to look into the parts a bit further, but it has some other work too... I will discover/fix/be happy bout' when I am given keys to get digging...
SO-> At a minimum:
JWT 530BB Turbos
JWT Dual pop intake
JWT Chipped
Nismo 555cc's
??? Exhaust (throaty... but restrictive?)
??? Adjustable suspension
Full Sound System w/ Subwoofer (Custom box, forget brand)
Greddy Profec PRofec B-Spec2 Boost controller
Boost gage
Stillen Lip
Phantom Boost Gage
CLEAN/NOT RICED OUT!!! And just to set all those guys I remember from back when I used to browse a lot more - Yes. I intend to keep it rice-free. Just keep me posted on the best flowing exhaust, eh? It will be fully in my possession within the next few days. Well - here is the downside... its my wife's toy car. (Only way I can swing two sports cars with two kids!) Well - I will still get to drive it to work, work on it, upgrade it, etc... so for all intents and purposes... I am happy. She loves it. Don't judge! Hehe. So, this was a picture (dirty in photo... It is clean now, and clean pics to come!):
