Question please help me buy this car

hey everyone~ this is dave from MD

I have a few questions about the 300zx
as you can see from my login name that I basically play around with Hondaz
But because of some insurance issues I must sell my beloved S2000. So I came across a 1993 N/A Z with Magnaflow cat back exhaust system and a pioneer 6-screen headunit (black/tan). Itz an automatic and has 57000 miles in it. So here are the questions:

1. He wants 14,500 for it. Is this a good price? the car is in good condition (few dings)

2. I hate automatic!! How much for a manuel transmission swap?

3. Whatz the difference between a N/A and a Turbo? I want to get twin turbo but will that be possible? Is it worth it?

4. I've found out that there isn't much mods for N/A 300zx (hell all the body kitz are for 2+2 and not any for a coupe) So what are some mods you can do to a N/A 300zx?

If there are otherz who are trying to buy a 300zx and have concerns like me please inform me of you concerns too. I'm sure I'd love to hear em.

I suggest you not get it...if you want a TT just get one...but the insurance problem will probably stop you from doing so.

14.5 is way too much...he's smoking crack. Auto...eh...dont get this car.

Mods for a NA Z...


Intake
Headers
Exhaust
ECU
Cams
Clutch
Flywheel
Underdrive Pulley

then...

Port/Polish Heads
Stronger Pistons and Rods to raise compression

and not be neglected...

Suspension work...either spring shock combo or coilovers
Sway bars
Strut bars
Polyurethane bushings
Brake work...plenty of options in the brake category...
TT Brakes
Skyline GTR Brakes
Brembo's
Stillen's

Look around on the first 5 pages in this forum...there's lots of good info and you would have found your answers had you looked...

Other sites of interest...
