remember that engine is ****ed... if your timing belt breaks you usually bend valve and score pistons. its nice and clean but just think like your buying a shell with a blown motor.

i say get and slap a rb26 in it lol

I can tell you one thing about Z32's... they suck duck *****!

I used to own a 92... runs great when it runs, but once one thing breaks, something else will follow shortly. Its basically a Nissan badged BMW, nothing works right once it goes bad.

And for the $, I'd say 2J an S14 (or S13) with an R154 tranny. Now that thing would fly.

people put sr20s in z32s also. if you got the $ for a project car go for it.

DO NOT BUY FROM OSAKA.
Terrible. I've heard countless bad reviews and my friend Andy got his motor from them, took 6 months to get the problems resolved. sadly the new replacement motor wasn't all that great either.

The RB26 won't fit with the two blowers.
You're better off putting an RB25 in it.

Mia culpa, that should have been RB25 not RB35.

i would buy that car for 2 grand max. i think 3500 is too much. if he was closer to me i would take that thing off his hands and build it up.

i think you would be better off finding a non turbo Z to do a rb swap because TT owners always seem to want more than their worth

That is seriously true, one guy found out I used to own a Z, tried to sell me his STOCK TT, wanted 20K for it...

I've never seen so many people at one shop laugh along with me. Never...
