Thanks! Yeah, although I was lucky enough to find the NISMO and people literally swarmed to my garage from other states to get to the pile first, I really liked having the shell to pull from and reference. Tips to consider are:
  • Of course you want an intact, undamaged block and trans
  • You get all the wiring
  • Look for a shell that has enough damage to make it unusable for a dismantler or rebuilder. Rollovers are ideal. Rear end and front collisions aren't hard for a rebuilder to put together. Side impact and rollover are very structurally disruptive.

I guess I'm going for a sleeper attitude. I've been talking to a lot of Z owners and they've said test pipes are obnoxiously loud, but I'm taking their advice. Thankfully the cats were super cheap, and Kinetix has a good reputation.
