Message	>seeing my friends $2500 "rebuild" transmission strip the 2/4 band after only 15k, I've heard this story a thousand times. Antihero How to have a good time with your 300zx: Don't buy from AMS because it's shoddily "designed", cheaply made knockoff garbage. Ash makes good stuff, but don't buy from straight from ASH if you can't deal with him going MIA. Buy his stuff from SpecialtyZ. Don't put injectors in that aren't 95+ style Nismo or Injector dynamics Do your timing belt when you are supposed to with oem stuff. If a wheel doesn't proudly declare where it's made, you shouldn't be putting it on a 300zx, and if ebay is the best place to get it, that's concerning. Yes, I am talking about those XXR's. Don't put on a FMIC that isn't Tom's. That ebay "apollo style" one causes a ton of lag and lost horsepower. Check my classifieds. My Z is for sale.
