Yeah, do a little search. I started out with CAI and grounding kit, kinda wish i had done exhaust first or maybe even wheels. Cause wheels to me can make a car look so much better.

Think you obsessed now? Wait till you finally get one, then you'll spend 100% of your time thinking about the Z.

Read the new "Winter issue" of 'Sport Z" mag, p. 36. Performance Nissan race team talks about do's/dont's regarding modifying. And also read the post by Zland.

Know what you're doing before you do it.

Thumbs up

Bone Stock Dood!

LUV IT!

And listen to everyone else: 90% turns into 100% once you get it. I have mine in storage right now and I still find myself going out to see it when ever I get a chance. It esp hurts after I see a show on TV with one or I play a video game with one. Spring: come fast please!!!

I heard from a "shrink" that 99% of thoughts are useless anyway so it leaves you 9% more for some other useless stuff .

Every time I get out of my Z and lock it, I have to look back while walking away. I don't know why...but it's kinda compulsive. I think I just need a lasting memory to tide me over until I come back to drive it.

Hopefully you won't think about it 100%....I mean, aren't we men supposed to think about sex something like once every few minutes?

I do the walk away and stare every time I lock my car and leave it to go anywhere. Sometimes I stop and just stand and back in the silverstone glow of wonderful 'Zness.'

haha, i do the 'walking towards work while looking at my car' thing too. I've only had my car about 3 weeks tho.
I used to search this forum and think about the car a lot before I got it, and i thought once i had it the itch would go away. Now im on this forum more. Taking it for a spin during one of my 15 minute breaks seems a little absurd...but less and less absurd.

I always look back at it too...and its funny, even though i've owned mine for a couple months now, i'll see one pass me with the xenons blaring and i'll be like aww man look at that z, it looks badazz and then think to myself hey thats what i look like too.

Btw i've got the mod bug bad but am going to buy a daily driver first so i can store this baby

I'm also guilty of doing the "look back while walking away". It's kinda like the way I "look back while walking away" from a good looking female.
