So I was a member here back from 04-05. Here's my new Z. It's a DB 04' w/ 39,000 miles Touring w/Bose no nav, JWT intake and I think Apexi N1 Exhaust. Gets tinted tomorrow and springs and a DD Nav HU are en route. I look forward to moddin a different Z!

Here's my old 04' Enth. 19" Axis Hiros, 350Evo 3.9 FD, JWT intake, Nismo Cat-Back, APS Test Pipes, Hotchkis TVS, and some other minor stuff.

I traded my old 04 in for the 04 Evo and the 04 Evo in for the new 04 Z.... thats a lot of 04

AND I did it because I am moving from crappy chicago weather to fantastic san diego weather

:cheers: JP

Congrats! Yep, San Diego has some of the nicest Z weather around. Why did you get rid of the Evo? Wait, forget that question.

should have kept the evo.....j/p j/p. welcome back

I had the Evo for 4 years, drove it pretty hard, and didnt have any problems with it. Plus I would have had to demodify it for the move (Smog rules!) and do a bunch of service. I only sold my last Z because it sucked in the snow, the Evo had 68k on it when I traded it in. Needed front and rear rotors, new pads, and a timing belt. Traded it in for this Z which only has 39k, and my car payment/insurance dropped $175/mo.

I plan on doing 18 x 10 Enkei RPF1's all the way around, tanabe gf 210 springs, Black roof overlay, its at my tint guys place right now getting 35% all around, and in 2 weeks I am ordering some type of stereo setup. Eventually I'd like a 4.0 gear with Nismo diff cover but thats last on the list because I could change my path.

I've been away from Z's for so long and missed so much. Has anyone put the new GTR motor in one? How about an RB25/26? I know of the LS2 swap but I'd prefer to keep the motor in the nissan family, just curious.

Oh yeah, and I traded in the Evo with a foam front lip from home depot that cost me $10, but looked like it cost about $300, I put it on right before I went because mine was all chewed up.

Nice cars.

TwiZted · 10-12-2009, 11:04 PM

Did some work over the weekend, will post pics soon.

- Rear Wiper Delete
- Rear Bumper Tuck
- Window tints (35%)
- Claybar/2 step buff/Wax

changed the LSD gear oil but that doesnt count as a mod. ha. I also have the mirror mount for the passport on the way. Will be adding a plenum spacer, springs and black roof overlay in a few weeks.

Welcome back to the fray. You'll catch up on all the news quickly. Not sure about the R35 motor in a 350 yet, can't think of one off hand.

Good choices in cars. You can't go wrong with either one.

TwiZted · 10-13-2009, 08:09 AM

Sorry for the iberry pic, here is the rear bumper tuck and wiper delete, oh yeah, i removed the mud flaps as well.

BRONZEE · 10-13-2009, 11:59 PM

Looks good. Don't you miss the rear wiper when it's raining, or have you got industrial strength rain dispersant on your windows.
