Unless you happen to find a great deal on all the parts the general concensus is that youll spend more money trying to build a turbo car than you would having bought one.

asking the same questions as you are now . . . i say go with a N/A. Thats what I did, and it's true about them being slow, My list of mods can go on for days, and i barely break low 13's(only cause i'm auto). But as far a being reliable, they damn sure are. My only issue so far with the car has been the transmission, a N/A auto can't take much power gains. As far as working on them, they can be a bitch, but i still try to do all the work myself. Examples are . . . Plugs took almost 45 min.(yes because you have to remove some lines from the intake), water pump actually only took me less than 2 hours! When you do find one, i recommend you replace all hoses and lines you can, because of the tight space they tend to crack and get brittle. Other than that they are great cars, usually last until the mid 200k's *with proper care* As far as doing a twin turbo swap on a N/A. DON'T DO IT, it can cost as much as buying a Twin-Turbo by itself.

For local go to Fever . . . But if you want a really good mech. call Harry over at Ztuner. He really knows his shit. I spent like an hour over the phone w/ him on what next stages of mods i should go with.

If you can actually turn a wrench I say get a z31 turbo. They are going pretty damn cheap nowadays, most cases cheaper than n/a z32's.
getting old though, hence the "turn a wrench" comment.
Plus your dad can be like "your Z's da shizzle like mine was" or such.
