But for resale value's sake, why not got with an FD RX-7. You could also probably get it to weigh much lighter. Unless money is a factor, which it typically always is, I can see why you'd go with the 300zx.

I don't know much about the 300zx but the aftermarket for the RX-7 seems to be pretty unlimited. I've always loved the RX-7 and would love to do one of these swaps.

+1 for going with a different chassis.

Are you 100% decided on going through with it?
I've seen the videos of the twin turbo LS# FD's running 9's, it's sexy but if i had an FD i'd probably go for a 3 or 4 rotor

The initial cost is much higher for the FD, no problem finding one with a blown engine but still alot more for a body compared to the Z32. The styling of the FD is much more modern and the final product would probably look better than the outdated but timeless Z32 too but i'm not a big fan of it's size and not building it for the rest of the world anyways.
