F.I.ing my 100k+ g help

I would like to go F.I. on my new 2003 g35. My question is my is, well the car has 104,000 miles on it I bought it from the orginal owner. He gave me paper work showing an oil change every 3000 miles and all schdule maintance, also he had anything done that the manchic said to have done. Is the engien safe to boost or should I just spend my money on a rebuild right away. Also its a 5at non revup.

I never regretted going FI, but IN MY PERSONAL OPINION, if i had 104k miles on my car I won't do it, heck I wont have a car my self at a 104k, my G will be let go way before it gets near there I'm 03 with only 29k miles on it only

it all depends on the compression and leak down test. if everything looks good then u are good to go. If not, it's best to get internals or a spare block in the garage when it blows.

i would worry about the tranny mostly. as pharmD said the compression and leak down test is important as well, if those are good then you SHOULD be golden. but you never know when you go FI on a NA car that was built for NA

As for buying a high milage g I'm ok with it because it's in mint condition and it's been well taken care of. The best part is I only paid 7k giving me plenty of money to rebuild and go fi
