Default Purchased my first Z Car

Hi guys and gals. Purchased my first Z car about three weeks ago. New to the Z car scene but not new to cars. My previous car was a 1993.5 Supra that i had a full swap done and was putting 495 to the wheels on 91 pump gas. It was modded up pretty good, and finally after 10 years the engine had had enough. I opted to get rid of it as at the time i didn't have the money or time to devote to fixing it, so i sold it. Couldn't stay away from the car scene, so i decided to try my hand with a Nissan this time. It's an 08 350z Nismo. Has the Nismo dual cold air intakes installed already. Looking forward to enjoying this wonderful car.

An older gentleman just happened to be trading up to a new Camaro SS the day i went to the dealership. For the price i paid i am not unhappy at all. Love the car rides like a sports car which i was used to with my supra but the cornering is much better than the supra was. Miss that targa top though.

What happened to the lip and sideskirts? Or is it my eyes thinking they're all black?

They are all black. The previous owner had them painted body color. Dont know why they would do such a thing but they did.... Im the 3rd owner of this car.
Want to get a fresh new front bumper and sides. Paint is chipping off the bumper a bit. just want to try and get a new one by the end of the year.. maybe my Christmas present to myself lol

Hey now.. Older gentlemen? I'm only 36. I guess since you're 34 I am technically older. hahaha!

The GFX were painted when I got the car. I thought it was bizarre the first owner would do that. However the car is sick either way. The car does corner like it's on rails, it's blast up and down the pig trail.

Rotary, I think he meant someone MY age.

I stopped counting when my eyes started to go.

Spoke to the first owner. He had them all painted black just for a different look he had the front and rear bumpers replaced with genuine NIsmo parts. paint labor and parts were $5K. The sales guy told me an older gentleman owned it.. guess he didnt know we were about the same age..lol
