Mostly unmolested 2002 stripper So, this is my first LSX car. I'm hoping to keep it a daily driver for a while, but I would like for it to be a nasty daily driver. I won't really drive it daily, but I want it to be reliable as if I did.
I've been reading the forums for a while, so hopefully with the knowledge I've gained here, and some from experienced outside sources, I won't screw it up too much. I think the only mods done so far are some aftermarket fogs, and a flowmaster. Nothing that can't be undone.

nice find....th are getting harder and harder TO find in good shape.
info on the car...mileage, transmission, etc...
if you want good relaibility its hard to beat a mile H/c setup. spend the money in the right places and you'll have killer power with near factory reliability.
go with a smaller cam but GOOD heads and it will make great power

It has pretty high mileage (127,xxx), but they don't appear to be abusive miles.(if that is possible in Texas) A4 trans seems to be in good shape.(shifts good, and no slippage) It has definitely been driven, and is not perfect, but I think it will be nice with a minimal amount of work.
I don't really have a whole lot of additional info atm. Just got the car yesterday, and haven't had a lot of time to conduct any in depth inspections. I need to fix a small coolant leak around one of the hoses today, so I'll check the block, heads, rearend, etc. while I'm doing that.
I plan to start small, but there are definitely some heads, cam, intake, etc. in the future.

Pretty good find.
Is it a B4C (check the RPO codes on the driver side door) car?? Also see if WU8 is there. That will tell you if its a true SS. If Im correct that is one of the few ways to get a stripper in 02.

bet ur *** its faster than a 350Z, why even ask lol 350z's with a supercharger can barely stay with a bolt-on/tuned and well driven LS1 car. Dont get me wrong those nissan motors are very nice I daily drive a 3.5L altima and they are great cars/engines, but no way you can compare it to LS1 or LS-anything kind of performance
