I Love the Z32 and I am considering getting one in the relatively near future.Could a built up Z32 NA come close to a stock TT? would the cost to build it up be more than it would to just get the TT? I would be more than happy with about 300Hp either way, but the turbo it seem needs more care/caution not to damage the turbo system, especially with a used, but hopefully not abused car. I'm sure this has been discussed, but I wasn't sure how to search for this info.

get a TT. It will cost way too much to get 300 NA. Any money that you would have from that could replace almost every wear item on a TT IMO.

Also any extra babying (taking care of) that the TT needs over the stock NA will be worth it.

Get a Twin Turbo. There isn't a whole lot of maintenance difference between the two.. other than the obvious, turbo/intercooler and the bunch. But as far as "care" for the turbo system..... oil changes, letting the car idle for a couple of minutes after running it, and letting it warm up as well.... I don't see how the care is so hard? I am the owner of a 1990 Twin Turbo and lemme just say, I LOVE IT! If you really want to learn A LOT about the Nissan 300zx (1990-1996) check out:http://www.twinturbo.net and read through the FAQ and use SEARCH to look for answers to any questions you may have... I think you'd be very happy with a Twin Turbo in the end.

when I'm going to look for one real, maybe I could get a TT veteran to check some out with me. when my fiancee's car dies(hyundai accent , won't be long I suspect) she'll take my G20 and I can get my 300zx. I'm already scanning the local papers :ylsuper
