Ethan84,

Long time no talk too. I still have my z however I got 82k on the odometer. I remember that proud day when I took delivery in Sept 2002. Now it doesn't get driven much, it just sits in the garage. I remember we all went down to cape may to make that first 350z movie. Those were good times.

Any recent pics?

Sure! This one was taken in June of this year.


Crawford Z in Nashville, TN replaced my front rotors & pads all around. Rear rotors were re-surfaced. Actually this was the first time I've had to touch the brakes believe it or not! Considering how aggressive the stock '03 pads were, it is pretty remarkable that I got almost 50,000 miles out of them. Those miles include a few track days when I first got the car and plenty of fun drives over the years! Pads were pretty close to the wear indicators; but the rotors weren't warped; no vibration.

I also recently put on a new set of Michelin pilot super sports, replacing my Hankook Ventus V12 Evos. The pilots are unbelievable and every bit as good as the online reviews suggest. Insane grip but also more comfortable. I had all 4 TPMS sensors replaced as well; I think the battery was starting to go on one as I was getting periodic TPMS warning lights despite good pressure. Also impressive that the sensors lasted so long...

I love this Z and have no plans of getting rid of it. Finally obtained a decent garage to store it (along with my other Z) in July of this year. The garage came with a house above it (I'm told... :-)), so that's nice too.

Congrats and enjoy your new ride. Treat it well and it will make you smile.

Opps... joke is on me. I didn't realize how old this thread is. I was wondering why your car looked so new. LOL

Congrats on enjoying it for some many years. I still have my 1973 240Z.

ethan84ae

Thanks Sonny! It still feels like a (basically) new car!

Congrats Ethan. I'm 3 years behind you with my bought new in 2005 but have the same feeling you have about it. I drive it a bit more depending on how raining the winters are here in Nor Cal so I've got about 66k on mine now. My 94 Honda Civic is for the rainy days(235k miles and going strong!). Keeping the Z for life...my son knows it's going to be his some day.

My son has his eye on my car too. Of course he is only 2.5 and thinks every car is a Nissan.

Can't argue the effort put into this thread, and he's kept it going...

Epic.

Great to see, mine also is an '03 but I've only had it for 5 mos. and I STILL LOVE IT lol 95k mi.

If you were still in NJ I'd say we should meet up to shake hands lol
