Looks like a solid body :thumb
So what are your plans for it?
Straight line race car? Daily driver? AutoX? Show?
We’re not very patient :ahh

Oh man i have soo many plans for it, i have a stage 2 clutch on the way, im inthe process of getting a decent exhaust (not a fart can, dont think itll sound good on a V6). got my seats torn out , the driver seat has a tear so its gettin repaired.then comes my body work and hopefully some new paint this spring(midnight blue). the car is really solid not much rust , workin on gettin new wheels. i want to take it to the valley for the 1/4 mile ,then up to synapse to the dyno.

Ehh ordering the stage 2 seems like a waste if your not doing an NA2T setup anytime soon. As far as aftermarket and OEM shit. Maintenance stuff get from advanced auto, napa , nissan thenselves etc… other than that, head over to [Z31Performance.com](http://Z31Performance.com) a lot of guys over there and im pretty sure you would be able to find anything you need
And aftermarket is a rariety with these cars, a lot of stuff is custom made by forum members.
Either way, the body looks pretty solid… Do a Kouki front end conversion :tong

im new to the z, what does the NA2T (not sure what that is) setup consist of. because its either NA or 2T. but if it means a conversion to Twin turbos, i dont want to do that

Well dont exspect to keep it NA and make power, you spend spend thousands upon thousands of dollars just to make over 200whp when you can do an NA2t really cheap and make more than that :tong

and like I said before that stage 2 isnt going to do much of anything except cost more money.
