The single biggest problem with owning one of these cars.....what do you do when a part that would cost $10.43 breaks and you have to wait on one to come from Japan for $211.13? Sure, if you can afford one then you can probably afford the parts, but who wants the aggrevation of having to wait on just about ANY part that you would need for one? And God forbid you get into a fender bender or something. Collision repair places are always having to get more parts to repair unseen damage. Even off of the seen damage, how much would it take until the insurance company declared it a total loss due to the cost of parts, even if it were what would be considered a rapairable wreck on a car sold here.

That may be true, but show me a link or source where you can get one
totally legal for 30K. If so than I am wrong.

Its nice, but not worth 100,000 nice. I loooove that Ztune though, its worth the money. On the texas plate, you can get a car registured and insured(i think) but its still not legal depending on where you are. In indiana i know that you can get cars there easy cause by the steal mills theres no emitions laws cause the air already sucks. I think thats how it goes.

In the eBay ad (first post), they said it's a 3.0L RB36DETT. WTF is an RB(36). 3.0L? Thought they only sold the 2.6 and then a 2.8 Nismo

The engine is an RB26DETT. Various companies do offer stroker kits to punch it out, the only other ones I've seen are the 2.8 liter kits, but I wouldn't doubt there are other kits available.
