Ok guys i have been looking around a little bit and as of right now i think im going to let my 1990 300zx n/a auto stick around for a while. I finally got it running good and have no problems. i recently installed the JWT pop charger. Since im going to keep it around what should the next thing or things be that i do to her (thats worded weird) much appreciation.

Glad to hear that you are going to keep her. After the intake you are going to want to look into getting a better exhaust system. Headers back. Most people will reccomend HKS Hiper cat-back exhaust. Then after exhaust go for the ECU upgrade. You are planning on keeping it N/A right?

im not sure about keeping it n/a now i came across this website http://www.osakajdmmotors.com/

realisticly* how hard would it be to do a tt swap including auto to manual transmission? and having it look good. (i have seen some auto-manual swaps that look really ****ty.

im not by any means a mechanic but i have alot of common sense on where things go. this is my first 300zx but my second nissan (240sx) the motors on that website seem like a good price and they include everything i would need including the transmission to do the swap to manual.

TT swap is the way to go if you are looking for power. I have heard hit and miss stories about buying shipped engines. Most people are happy but every now and then there is a lemon. As for difficulty I'm not too sure, but I think if you are able to find a good write-up or a video you should be able to do it just fine. Take you time and mark it all out. Also, it is going to cost alot of money to swap it all over. Its not just the engine and transmission that you would have to buy, you need all the small parts that are never listed. New ecu, wire harness, fuel pump, 3rd pedal, etc.
