so I got my 1990 300zx n/a at 2yrs ago fresh out of high school now I realize my car is s***. I've been deliberating what to do with it I need not hp and torque! I know tt is the number one way but I need help deciding if I should get rid of my car and buy a tt stock 300zx or keep it and get a vg30dett swap. Please I need help. Is keeping it and swapping engines worth the trouble?

so why swap it?

tt swaps aren't easy, nor cheap. if you really want a tt, sell the n/a and buy a factory tt.

I meant to say I do need hp and torque. Lol

So another quick probably annoying question
Say I want to build my z for strictly drifting, is turbo needed at all for drifting? And if not what exactly would you recommend upgrading.? I've searched but found very miniscule answers.

Stop. Sell that car. get something different. There is a reason that car is almost never selected as a drifting platform and it ain't the lack of a turbo. It's a fat pig. here is one that appears to be very modified with lots of power and he can get it sideways, but look at how slow it slides. It takes a lot of doing to get one sideways and a lot of power to keep it there and in the end it's rather underwhelming.
