    Brought my GTP home, and omg does it feel good again to hear boost and see smoke from a 35mph roll
    Not saying my Z can't do that but its fun in a FWD v6
    Unfortunately seeing lots of burnt coolant out of the exhaust made me annoyed i didnt change the head gaskets when the motor was out

    Question, What head gaskets should i order, i remember someone telling me to get (thicker) ones????

    ZZP is selling the N/A gaskets too.

    N/A ones are cheaper than the supercharged ones for some reason.
