i'm definitely a jap car guy... if and when the motor blows up it will get another Nissan engine, probably RB25DET.

I love American cars, but I don't mix the two

Very nice car. One day, I'd like to have an example of every Z car. That'd be one sexy garage.

Very nice. What's the turbo based off of? (i.e. T3/T4, T88, KKK, etc)

the turbo isn't based off anything exactly. Holset is a british company originally, they make turbos for diesel applications and tractors, marine applications, whatever.

The diesel turbos work very well on regular gasoline application. The turbo I have is capable of up to around 35+ PSI and starts being very efficient around 15psi. Very popular with datsun and mustang guys as well as some Mitsubishi folks too
