purchased this car from StreetRacer434, Mike http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15857&highlight=300zx

Its in pretty good shape for being about 20yrs old, im really excited about getting it going, Mike told me all that it needed was a clutch http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17242&highlight=300zx

its gonna need some new tires, some dry rot, mostly on the front tires, but it was sitting for a while so...anyway its in really nice condition the paints good interior just needs a lil cleaning and only 94k original miles on it, im really excited on my recent purchase and hope that everything goes as smoothly as i hoped it would. took a couple pictures with my phone so they arent the greatest but here they are!

Thanks for the sites Ramathorne, that z31.com is very informative and easy to look through!

As for modding, first i need to replace the clutch, tires and do some basic things (oil, complete chassis lube, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, brakes, blah, blah, blah....you get the idea. after that, cone filter, upgraded piping and larger throttle body and go from there.

I do have some questions about boost controllers, it is my understanding that they help maintain smooth operation of the turbo and allow for certain adjustments. i looked around on the web and wow was i in for it, there are sooo many to choose from. How do i know which one to get/works best with the car, etc?? I dont want to spend too much and i dont need to be able to guide missles with it(or do i?!), any suggestions? and for the love of god please dont say google...
