Message	Hey, first post. I have been tossing around the idea of a ttz or a 3000gt vr4. I current own a NA DOHC 3000gt. So far has been 99% problem free for 2 years with 145k on it now. Anyway, on the 3s forums, their opinion (including some z owners) z's are much harder to work on and a little less reliable. I know any forced induction engine with so many more parts wont likely be near as realiable as an NA, but i wouldnt plan on driving it hard at all. Just briskly :). Also, don't all TT's (vr4's included) come with stronger internals? So, if driven.....mildly........(most of the time) will this contribute to reliability much? 3000gt comparisons (from experience, not book knowledge or rumors please) would be the most helpful. thanks, and sorry for the long post.
