    As the title states i have gone crazy. Cant live without a 300zx so ive gone out and purchased 2.!!

    Have some big plans atm, so i need some opinions

    To start off with...

    Car one
    1990 Manual TT, Targa, 2 seater (fresh respary) RED, no rego

    Car two
    1990 Auto NA, hardtop, 2 seater RED, no rego

    FACT 1
    End result must equal to a TT manual with total HICAS delete and replacement of NA rear end and engine bay conversion etc.

    FACT 2
    weight is of importance

    QUESTION 1
    is it easier to convert the NA to a TT then it is to convert the TT to a NA rear end and power steering pump conversion etc?

    QUESTION 2
    Is the weight saving on the hardtop justifiable to sacrifice the freshly painted TT?

    QUESTION 3
    will it be harder to get the NA converted to TT Road worthy?

    QUESTION 3
    Have i "actually" lost the plot?

    1) Resprays can be done anytime, slicktops are hard to find. Not to mention lighter and better handling (supposedly)

    2) Yes. Converting the NA to TT and keeping roadworthy will be a furious battle.

    3) you own two zeds, you tell me.

    Drop everything into the slicktop, because slicktops are better.

    I'd take the resprayed targa Zed, but then again I've bought two targa top Z32's.

    Whatever you pick, getting there will suck.

    I did the TT swap into a NA slicktop. Easy.

    But having a TT converted to NA may be harder to sell than just a NA.

    But a TT slicktop is worth more (to some anyway) than a targa.

    Chose the straightest car and use that.

    My nana drives a silver car.... Just saying.

    Red is the colour of passion isn't it? A zed is a passionate thing. He got it right regardless :)

    Tt the slicktop.

    Don't talk, just listen.

    You won't regret it. Placing an auto na into the respray targa body on sold to a fresh p plater for summer will reward you with some extra coin. You've missed the schoolies window, so aim for the daddies Chrissy gift to their spoilt daughter.

    Done.

    Oh and it's not silly. You're just a collector. One of every color and kind would be awesome.
