    lol, and the DSM is much better??? Seems that every 1g I've been around required constant maintenance and was always breaking.

    in all honesty dude, they dont make alot of after market Z31 stuff. the susp is terrible on these cars. you are GOING to have wiring problems. not maybe, not possibly, you will. esp with a turbo car. and its a slick top. which is less fun. just be careful man.

    He might get more wiring issues with the Turbo (Which I will agree with 100%, you know that.) But the suspension geometry problems are GONE. We're not talking about a 2+2 NA like yours, we're talking about the 2 seater Turbo 5-speed. The whole setup is different, the only thing the same is the looks.

    OP: 3k on a Z31 Turbo in BAD condition is a good price, for one in GOOD condition, you're getting a baller deal.
