    Yea very happy with it. 4 grand ya can't really complain. Just gives me an excuse to replace all the shit stuff with items iv dreamed of :) engine doesn't miss a beat. Need to replace the exhaust as it's a cheap aftermarket bolt on. Does sound good but it's just too loud and the big cannon on the back looks tacky as. Suspension would be next as it's too low and very stiff. Then il upgrade the cooling system as a standard 20 year old radiator can't be performing at it's peak. Then il do the brakes as I like to stop quickly as much as I like to take off quickly :) then it will be cosmetically upgraded inside and out.

    You are definitely on the right track. I'd be looking at the cooling system first. There's not many easy ways to kill a Z32 motor but over heating is definitely one! As part of that I'd be doing a plenum pull and by-pass the coolant hoses that run under it. These are prone to failure at this age. Take it to a good local Z mechanic who knows what to do, these are common procedures that you can research and learn about from this site (read through the tech section). The other thing you might want to consider is a 100,000km service. This is important if you don't have the maintenance history of the car. The most important part of that is the timing belt......one of the other fast ways to kill a Z motor if it breaks. Otherwise play it by ear and good luck. You should find nearly all the information you will ever need on the site somewhere. :zlove:
