Z update!

Ok well i sold my 1988 300zx N/A 2+2 4-speed auto. Im gona miss it, and all its memories iv had with it, but i must go on. I sold it for $3000. I still have its pictures in my profile if any of you wana take a look. So thats the update on that...

Wed. i bought a Z for $4800 with the same exterior color code as my old Z, burgandy. Black near perfect interior, basicly perfect all around with 130k miles pamperd all its life with 1 owner. It had a t5 warner tranny or whatever its called installed recently,.its a 1989 300zx GL, now heres the trip, I took a 1 hour 45 min trip to a car shop that specialized in HONDA tuning...gay!!! I dont know why i went there in the first place..but it turned out VERY VERY well...because they gave me a engine they have no use for..a VG30DET from a Japanese 300ZR, im like WHOA [censored]!! i bought it for $780 and all of it totaled to 1,200 with labor charges, i got it back today and i cant belive how much power it gave me!! 230 stock HP, they said it was a direct fit. I took it for a drive around the block and i can feel the power!! YYESS!! THE POWWER!!!! its weird since im use to driving my Z with only 165hp now its suddenly 230...

Heres my problem! DOES ANY ONE KNOW HOW TO TWEAK IT? This month or next month im adding mods such as intake, exuast, more boost...blah blah blah. Will aftermarket cam shafts make a difference? will the 240sx throttle body fit? the engine looks kinda different from the old N/A...oh wellz ill just have to find out..

NOTE FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO DO TURBO SWAPS: ** Make sure your mechanic knows what hes doing, or your gona to get screwed in the ***** I got into a fight with them because they were being stupid. but yeah IM SOO HAPPY NOW!!
