Message I get that this is common wisdom, but at this point, on a 25 year old Z, any part that's less than 5 years old is kind of a value add imho.

On a 2 year old car with 20k miles, the turbos were perfectly fine, and they are fine on all the comparable cars. On a Z a car with 3 year old aftermarket turbos is a hell of a value add compared to a car with 25 year old oem turbos. If you look at a Z with stock struts at this point, chances are they are shot and need immediate replacement. etc etc etc.

How to have a good time with your 300zx:
Don't buy from AMS because it's shoddily "designed", cheaply made
knockoff garbage.
Ash makes good stuff, but don't buy from straight from ASH if you
can't deal with him going MIA. Buy his stuff from SpecialtyZ.
Don't put injectors in that aren't 95+ style Nismo or Injector dynamics
Do your timing belt when you are supposed to with oem stuff.
If a wheel doesn't proudly declare where it's made, you shouldn't be
putting it on a 300zx, and if ebay is the best place to get it, that's
concerning. Yes, I am talking
about those XXR's.
Don't put on a FMIC that isn't Tom's. That ebay "apollo style" one
causes a ton of lag and lost horsepower.

Check my classifieds. My Z is for sale.
