I've finally broken down and decided to sell the Z. I'm the second owner (bought the car in 99 from Stevens Creek Nissan in San Jose, CA - a lease return). It has always been garaged, and has seen light track use (2 Thunderhill Driving Schools). I took the car to stage 2 (exhaust & intake shortly after I bought it - and then upgraded brakes, heat exchangers, etc in preparation for power. At 54K miles, the car was sent to SGP racing in Texas for a ECU swap - so that I could take the car to Stage 3 with the JWT ECU (which worked only for 90-95 model year TT's at the time), and HKS GT2530 ball bearing Turbos.

Somewhere, somehow, once the motor was pulled, and a lot of forged JUN parts made their way in, along with swain coatings, etc. I have not driven the car on track since I've gotten it back from SGP.

The car now has 57K miles on the chassis, with < 3K miles on the built-up engine. The build was done by SGP over approximately 9 months in 2001, and dynoed @ 533 rwhp/460 lbft on race gas.
