I bought my z a week ago from a dealership. I got a great deal cause they didn't know what they had, they had no clue what the "nismo" exhaust was, or the titanium shift ****.
Well I pulled it out the garage for a nice spin in our 65 degree dallas weather and thought about all the Z's I test drove before this one, they weren't quite so "bummpy". I got out and looked at the wheels, and in the back round I saw red! Then I saw 5 letters stamped onto the spring and shock, NISMO!!! All the way around. Nismo shock and spring set. Needless to say (though I'm gunna say it anyway) thats a item scratched off my to do list (and my wallet).
Just though I'd share my joy.


PS
I know someones gunna rip me for not checking the springs before I bought, but my time was spent on known issues aka tire feathering, and paint dings. I drove the car and it felt great.

 

Haha, that is great.

 

There is a God!

 

Lucky!!!!

 

 

so how do the nismo springs make a difference in the ride? i am a noob at this stuff

 

its a lil rougher ride in town, but on the highway at high speeds its great. It also lowers the Z's stance a little bit (20mm i think). I have not got a chance to autox it yet, but when I do I'll drive my frends stock Z and report any pros/cons. I like it, just felling the road a little more makes the Z feel more like the "sports" car it is. It more than anything comes down to relegation of funds personal likeings, and girlfreind/wife (usualy don't like the choppy ride). IMO I don't think it grabs the turns much better than the stock, but its always cool to have Nismo on the car and in your signature.

Sorry- I tend to ramble-crap, I'm becoming my dad AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

 

What dallas dealership, and how much did u pay for it?

 

No sways, I got it at Sewell lexus by Love Field, got it for 18,700, its got 30k mi. The end of the month is the time to buy a car, saves 100's - 1,000's.

 

not too bad, I bought my 03 track with 30k miles on it a while back. It came with nismo exhaust and suspension and I payed a lil over 24k for it. So, sounds like you found yourself a heck of a deal there!

 

the fact that the new 06' just came out prob didn't hurt either.

 

I love my Nismo sway and suspension. I had an 05 35th ann. for two weeks while I was waiting for my Z. My 06 with the Nismo suspension and 19's handles WAY better. Feels like it's on rails.

 

Gosh.....Idiots!!!!!

 

I'm gonna file this under the "funniest **** I've ever seen"... lol

Thanks drifto, made my day...

 

You are one lucky dude. I had the delear install my S-tune suspension,sways, and exhaust when I bought my car. I paid 37K for it. But they did throw in the LMGT4's and S-03's for free..

 

Yeah well they still made money on it, trust me


my friend just traded in his heavily modded evo for a new benz
his car had everything you can imagine, standalone, jun built engine, exhaust 450hp+ basically 15000 in parts alone. Of course he got screwed and they only paid him $18,000 for it

somebody will get a great deal there too, if they realize what they have....

 

You guys are lucky, here in Sweden we have to pay 30 - 40,000$ depending on the condition of the car. Norway and Denmark are even wore though, in Norway a brand new Z was about 85,000$.

 

What year was the Z that you bought?

 

Nice job!!
