depends on how many OEM parts needed to be replaced after the motor was received. it is possible to get a front clip for less than $3k. if you luck out and everything is good to go, $4k could give you an extra large chunk of money to spend on modifications. it all depends...just dont get a lemon motor, that will set you back a little bit, trust me...i would know.

Re: 90 n/a

Sure, Jason... dis the NA just 'cus you got a TT now. Remember where you came from, boy!

I never mis-lead him. It's not cost effective at all. But why not mod the NA as much as possible? It's what he got. Cost effective mods? Modding in general is stupid and a waste of money in the long run...

Re: 90 n/a

lol well as much as I hate to say it, I'd stop modding an n/a after about 1K dollars worth of parts, becuase like I said earlier, you really won't hid n.e. thing better than 14s w/o nitrous

By the way guys... what are some visual differences between the 2 seater, and 2+2 seater z32 models... I can't really tell the difference, so I was hoping you guys could show me the way

Re: 90 n/a

2+2 is a little longer... you can tell after being around them awhile. On a 2+2 the fuel-door is on the side of the wheel-well closest to the rear bumper while the Coupe's is closer to the driver. Generally stock 2+2's don't have a wing I think. And if you peer inside... alas! Rear seats!

Coupe



VS.


2+2



As you can see the 2+2 is a little longer looking and the difference between the fuel door location... personally I would much rather have a TT 2+2 than a TT Coupe. I love the longer lines and with right fascia and wing it looks better! Plus it's better for cornering as the longer wheel-base stabilizes cornering. I'm sure Coupe owners will disagree on the looks though...

BTW... I have those Siena's!

Are the turbo intake manifolds different? What are the differences? As far as I knew, they were the same manifold as the VG30DE?

Cheers,

Re: 90 n/a

I'm assuming that they're different, becuase the difference between turbo and n/a performance is like night and day...


yea Jorgey, I do see the diff... I actually like the 2+2 a lil' better

Plus it would be sick if you did the TT swap. TT 2+2's = Sex!

Yuh, I'm pretty sure the Plemums are the same... Jason may know for sure.

no the plenums are identical i am pretty sure. there may be a different coolant routing system underneath but that stuff should be removed anyways.

2+2 Twin Turbos are sex because of rarity here in the states. thats the only thing that keeps me keeping the 2+2.

BTW: the only thing that sucks about owning a 2+2 is the fact that aftermarket side skirts look like poop on them without a rear bumper. this is a big problem from me but to others who like the aftermarket rear bumpers, it may not be.

Re: 90 n/a

Well it depends what you are building the Z to do. If you are setting up for drifting then you are better off with a NA 2+2, better more predictable powerband and longer wheel base. If you are setting up for all out numbers and speed then a TT is the setup for you. If you want turns practicality and speed, then you want a TT 2+2. But if you want a non-limo Z for speed and handles corners well too then any of the TT coupes will do. But if your like me and you like your car then stick with what you have.

Re: 90 n/a

well my plan was actually to get a nice 2+2 with low miles, and than eventually do a TT swap, cuz I can always use as much space as I can possibly get
