Ok /o/. I should have $5k in the next few months. I sort of have

240sx.
Just as unreliable (plastics, wires, hoses) but cheaper and easier to fix.

How is it shitty? If you like the car just put your 5k into making it nice instead of buying a car that's just as shitty in a different way.

>>15821687
You should just get a Maaco paint job, and buy an Ebay turbo kit if it isn't turbo (upgrade head bolts too) or if it is tarbo, supersize that bitch and upgrade the fuel delivery system.
You'll love yourself for it.

It's shitty enough that it may be cheaper to just buy another car. Hell even another z, I've been looking. Also I may have a small issue with the title. It's a weird situation.

>>15821716
If I was gonna turbo. I'd go all the way and put the vg30dett in it. Which is also a small possibility.

For 5k you can afford a couple good shitboxes. If you are up for putting in a bit of work, you can find C4 corvettes that need some work for like 4k not just corvettes but other good sporty cars that need a bit of work for less than 5k. If you are patient and are a bit mechanically inclined you can easily get a good sporty car for cheap. You can also buy another Z car for 5k pretty easily. You can find older turbo versions for around that much if you look hard enough. You don't have to stop at 5k either. If you are willing to finance, you can use those 5k as a down payment on a new or used car at a dealer. You will in return get a better/newer car, and build credit if you keep up with payments. If you want something used, you cna easily go to a used dealer, find a nice 8k car you want, and use the 5k as a down payment, and end up only owing 3k which is easy as fuck to pay back.

Whats wrong with the title? What's wrong with the car?

>>15821716

Right. Never turbo an n/a vg30

>>15822087
You dont want a vg30dett from someone who owned one.

Look at some manual 330ci. You'll be surprised at how much more powerful it feels than the NA Z32.

>>15822087
It's fine to turbo the NA on e85. That higher compression makes good power. We've been doing it more and more at the shop. Did one the other night NA with supporting mods (turbo) did 570 whp.

Wrong
I love mine, enough to have spent the time and money and extreme pain of rebuilding it entirely

I make 580hp on 20psi
I will never sell the car

But yeah, it's gonna make you want to die

My reccs for upgrades: maint, coilovers (powertrix makes "affordable" models), wider wheels and sport tires (I have 295 rear, 275 front), then forged pistons (rods are stock forged on the DETT), TARBOS, injectors, intercoolers (yes, two, side mounts a best), bigger rad, oh and a new ECU for all of this, plus a full exhaust (3" to quad tips), and a dyno tune.

$14,000 later and here we are

Prolly not even still there. Got busy with army stuff.

So I bought the car too hastily cause I was excite about it. And I didn't check the title enough before hand. I bought with a bill of sale. The guy I bought it from wasn't the name it was sold to on the title. Now I've done several Vin checks over a period of time and the car isn't stolen or anything bad with it. But the paperwork I have for it may not fly. It's an Ohio title, and I'm going to reg it in california or Colorado. Depending on how things go. So there's a good bit of complications with that.

And as far as the car itself goes. It's a lot of little things. That I also didn't see when I had on my rose coloured glasses
