I have always been a fan of 1jz vvti engine, its got a nice torque curve and fits the IS so much better than the stock 1g.

Don't think the wallet can support the turbo 2GR setup at this stage although it would be a monster Plus I have access to 1jz vvti half cut


How much do the 2GR-FSE cost these days ?

!!!11!

I'd also love to do a 1uz AE86 or an A70 supra. In the unlikely event I keep my MA70 it'll get a 2j though.

You will regret it if you get the 370z, that is for sure.

the thing is... there is a manual NSX for 50k too...


i have looked at every exciting car under 50k today i think. and really the 86 GTS is the only one i really want.

S2000 is amazing, but i want that back seat.


i cant live with the GT climate control knobs..\\\if someone could put the F20C into the 86.. i would give them my money.,

Not for me actually, some one here says why buy a 3 years old technology (granted he was trolling), but at least the 370Z had 3 years to work out all the bugs, kinks in the system, and actually I'm enjoying every minute of it.

It's not for everyone, as the 86 has a greater advantage weight wise and it is a ready platform for mods, tracks but if you are not really into that sort of thing the 370Z is definitely worth considering, budget permitting.

I am glad you are enjoying your 370z, I am sure its not a bad car but personally for the money I would rather have a R34 GTR and still have change left over for some tasty mods.

If you can not wait, then my suggestion would be to get R34 GTR.
