HELP ME HERE Well recently i am depress with my babe is not as good as used to be. It is going to have 120.000 milles. I travel a lot in the highway so that is way. It still goes to 120 milles but take it so long to get there. Also, the other problem is that it burning oil (i think is the rings) ,the car shakes (must be the mounts). And the main PROBLEM is Too SLOW to start. There is a lost of power before 4000 rpms. Actually i don't know what to do!
Maybe rebuild the block of the 420A
But i will like to change it for another car! Maybe a Gs-T 97 or a Gsx 95.

if you think getting a 2g turbo is going to help your reliability issues, you have another thing coming. They are just as bad as the 420a, if not worse.

And the main PROBLEM is Too SLOW to start. - as in starting the engine? battery or starter. - as in getting moving?
There is a lost of power before 4000 rpms. - so maybe you meant slow to start as in slow to get up to 4000rpm. Could be lots of little things. Try doing a basic tune up with new plugs, wires, fuel filter, air filter and see what happens. 120k is getting old and I'm sure she's going to start to show her years, but she's got a ways to go imo.

If you have some emotional attachment to it, then keep and do a rebuild. If not, upgrade time baby; 350z imo . It depends on what your current options are really, and what you can afford.
nothing like driving with the windows down and the music low: i love hearing the turbo spool, swwwhhhttt!!!! thanks for www.kaptainmyke.com for the sig hosting

Hey, guys thanks a lot for the support! I apreciate all the information. I think i am going to sell this babe. But my problem is that "will i get something better than this???". That is the only thing that holds me.
Anyway in response of a post:
