: Ok as some of you know i have been posting about getting a new car/truck but i just cant get one with out selling my 93 N/a Z, i just love it so i guess i will keep it but i need to make this thing fast, i want it to be fast enough that i can keep up with a C5 and make Turbo Civics shit... (i lost to one today, damn it was fast). but the thing is the car has 97K on it and its a auto, i want NOS and this one guy i know told me he can make a custom supercharger for my car with out taken the AC out so im all for it, but i dont know if my engine can handle the power, if i do all this stuff with the body and engine stuff, and then the engine blows... ill be out of a car forever, i wont have the money, im only 17 and i just quit my job and now im looken for a new one so money is hard to come by, even for gass, so do u guyz think my engine can handle it and ect. also what about putting a sentra engine in the Z and turbo the crap out of it, i saw a Z that did this and it mad mad HP and saved weight big time. : later guyz Z's are getting cheaper to buy as they get older and they are thus becoming more accessible to a younger crowd. This is great, except for one thing. Many people who go out and buy a Z fail to realize how maintenance-sensitive they are and how expensive they are to fix. The fact that they are getting older only amplifies this issue. Go ahead, ask me. I've got a mint 1993 Twin Turbo w/ 35k miles on it and the turbos just went out, most likely because the seals went bad from sitting still over so many years. You're 17. Deal with the fact that a C5 can roast you and just enjoy what you have. Give it a basic Stage III upgrade and drive it for what it is: a GREAT car. If money is hard to come by, then you need to get your priorities straight. Going fast is a hell of a lot of fun, but it's not worth getting yourself into debt at that age. Plus you won't think it's so fun when you're sitting on the side of the road because a mod you put on caused an issue with the car and you don't have the cash to get it fixed. My advice is take care of your life first. The Z will be there for you in it's current form and by the time you're ready (and able) to pay for speed the 2003 model oughtta be out and ready to mod like a wild man :-) Again, this is just my opinion. I'm not trying to bash on you because you're 17, but try and think about this from a different point of view.
