Also 300zx computer, turbo rebuilt and so on to try get 300hp at the wheels. Vt brake upgrade on the front but gotta do a bit of saving before any of this happens. Next thing I plan on doing to it is setting it up to dose for the cruise.

Yea 300zx computers plug straight into series 2 rb25det looms. Then you get it chipped and tuned as rb25det ecu is hard to chip and 300zx ecu can be tuned like a link ecu etc. So saves alot of money as a 300zx ecu is only about 200 bucks.
