I am looking for a JDM vg30et. If anyone has a hookup give me a rough estimate. I found one shipped to my door for 695. ---

not much is new really. I just got back from spring break in daytona beach. I have mainly been trying to build my samurai up. It’s currently lifted and running 31"s locked front and rear. I don’t really have time to work on shit since I go to PSU. As for the Z I officially said fuck the red one and had started parting it out. My dad then gave me his blue 88. The 88 is from Texas so it has no rust and is a pretty good candidate for turbo. I am pretty much gonna take my time on this project and try to do up a little better than before. It was kinda thrown together before. I am not looking to build some crazy 11 second car. I just want something that isn’t a suzuki SUV to cruise around in. I figure I know my way around z31’s pretty well and it can last me until I get my z32TT(what I have wanted all along). ---
