Hey hows everyone doing, I hope well

.

Well anyways I'm going to start working on getting a 1990-1996 300zx Twin Turbo. Well heres the thing. I noticed that most of the cars have it least 90,000+ miles and was wondering should I replace the engine? Or just build the engine up and replace everything. I was looking at a RB25 to swap it with or build it up. What would you guys think? I really love 300ZX's and want to know more about them

Lets start a discussion

What is your budget after you by the Z? And how much hp. are you looking for?

just do a compression check, and a timing belt and go from there. at least thats my plan.

just got a '90 TT with 96k

Well this is going to be a project car I'm looking to rebuild the whole thing. Looking to get a whole lot of performance into it. I'm into racing alot

Would you guys go with a RB25 or RB26?
And what kind of turbo would I go with for those type of engines?

RB26 but you have to fine a quality builder and expect the spend +$15K. if your are serious.

Well see im looking to invest alot into this car im basically ripping the whole car apart and building it all new.. Performance, New engine, turbo, spray maybe? upgrade internals... on the RB25 and interior everythings going to be brand new...

I was actually looking at this and its located in my location about 30 miles away.

i think if you look into dalls and houston texas you can get a better deal.

i bought a 91 NA in dallas for 4500 and a TT in ft worth for 3000 (stole that one)

What seems better...
a RB25 with about 800+ hp?
or a TT 300zx engine with about 500+ hp.. beacuse some people say they wouldent push over 500+ hp on the stock TT engine..

but they say the RB25 is the best if you wanna go faster + have more HP.
beacuse it can handle it..
