Question need help, 92sc400-98sc3?

Alright guys, I'm sure this is been asked before and I'm sorry, but I'm getting nothing too good on a search, so currently I've got a nice 92 sc400 black with tan, spent a couple grand on it so far, body kit, wheels, brakes, new leather, some engine crap, anyway, the things starting to get old (160,000) miles and I know it'll run forever but I'm 18 and run the thing to the ground so I know i will have expensive probs sooner or later like it or not. So I was wondering, a 98sc300 has possibility? I want something as fast as my sc now if not faster. Do they have torque converters for 98sc300's? I know turbo's a thought but I don't know if there's such thing for the VVTI engine. Any ideas? Or would I be better off spending the same money on a 96 or so low mile sc400? It jsut agrivates me seeing a 350z passing me over the weekend and that was the last straw. So if anyone has a sc300, 98 or newer, can someone compare it to a 92sc400?

VVT-i turbo is the way to go, you can run a larger unit with the variable valve timing...
