Message I kinda wana make sure shes running perfectly before I start throughing money at the body again. I know the hood is not pretty but man it sure establishes it pressence when shes driving around. Kinda has a domestic-scaryness to it. LOL. Yeah I know she would look nicer covered up.

As for the power. well I originally just wanted to do something different. My Z started life as a NA unfortunately, I orginally wanted to do a RB26 swap but after waiting 8 months, I got the wrong year and got a r32 clip as opposed to a r34. so I just took my money back and thought.....well Theres more power with displacement, and technically going from a 3.0 to a 2.6 is kind of a down grade. I know the Skylines are known for their power potential but after working at a shop that imported skylines the myth became apparent. The normal RB26 block is good for 600hp but anymore is risking it. If you want a alot of power with a RB motor you have to upgrade to a 3.0 block h would cost me, It turns out its just cheaper to either go with the normal vg30dett or another inline six twinturbo motor we have stateside. where parts are 100 times easier and cheaper to come by. I wanted to "Keep it in the family" orginally but its just to expensive, and The Z is itself merely what you make of it. Its still a Nissan, It just has a different power supply. I love my Z and I hope you will all enjoy yours much as I have.
