Default Just got a Z

Hey guys,

My name is Emilio, I just bought a Silver '06 Z 6spd...Jason is a long time friend and told me to join the site...I had a '09 370z for a couple of days but the payments were too high for my liking and I didn't like the way they drove... I'm 20 years old have been in the car scene since very young thanks to my dad...My first car was an AE86 Corolla GTS then I went thru a couple of 240s...I recently sacrificed my 12sec S13 and my daily '09 Mazdaspeed 3 for the Z... Always wanted one but thought I had a kid on the way so wasn't able to purchase a 2 seater...Well now the situation changed so I went traded in the Mazdaspeed and sold my 240 to sales man and the sales man sold me his Garage kept '06 Z with 15k miles and nismo goodies here and there...I'm mostly into drifting been in the "scene" before anyone even knew about it, went to drift even when I was like 13... I'm pretty excited about joining a new scene within the Nissan family and hope to learn from yall and be able to share my knowledge...Hopefully I can make my car look how I want it soon...

Here are some pics of my cars...















The Z



Thanks,

I agree about the sideskirts... I'm tempted to take the rear fins off...I don't know if I should though...I just really need wheels...

I live over more by Castroville...

Congrats. Those rear "fins" look authentic. If so, there would be drilled holes in your rear bumper so keep in mind if you decide to take it off

I know that's what the previous owner told me...I'm tempted just to put like little tabs in the holes... I don't know what I want to do...I don't really like how it looks right now...

Add the Nismo side skirts to make the kit complete. They would flow better and you would love it. I started with the front lip and the side skirts. Everytime I looked at my car, I thought there was something missing. As soon as I added the rears, I said "aha" that was it

Hi Jordan, just so you know, you normally do not jump into someone else's thread and start your own. I know you are a newbie so congrats anyway. Take your time and read the rules and guides about forum usage. This is a great forum. Welcome. I am assuming you are serving in Afghanistan so thanks for your service too

tabs like these???

You can temporarily use these to cap off the holes in your car if there are holes under those "FINS".......they are sold at any autozone stores in multiple sizes......use a rubber washer or some clear silicone under them for water protection, but if you get a good size that actually securely fastens with the ribs then im sure it will keep water out, but i doubt much would get in there from that point, if at all...........

if you ever get any body work done, you can either have a body shop later fill in the holes and repaint bumper, or local respray...

OR

you can have them spray a few of these caps/tabs whenever they are shooting your paint (say if you buy side skirts) and then pop the painted ones in and you will have these as plugs in those holes painted to match...shouldnt be so obvious and im sure 10x cheaper than filling the holes then repaint bumper..

Some wheels and sides and it will look great! Congrats. I wonder why it has the older style wheels though?
