Since the 350Z came out...

2003: If you wanted Leather or Automatic, you HAD to get Touring or Enthusiest. If you wanted Brembo's you HAD to get a track model and get cloth seats and no bose. If you wanted a roadster, you called your friend with a hack saw...

2004: Same as above but you could get a vertible... If you wanted NAVI you had to get Touring...

2005: If you wanted Automatic w/ Leather and Brembo, you HAD to get a 35th Anni... If you wanted 300HP REV-UP motor, Brembo & Leather, you HAD to get a 35th Anni... If you wanted Vertible with Leather & Brembo you HAD to get grand touring...

2006: Pretty much same as above but the 35th Anni was replaced with Gran Touring... Same Wheels, Same everything, just dont get the Gold Ring Emblems you can buy on our site for $18.75 each...

FYI: I generally sell the 35th / 06 wheels on ebay for $1500 shipped when they are fresh off the car... Ive seen wheels alone go for 900-1100 from other sellers...

Three Stratford people in one thread?!?! Sorry but this is blowing my mind lol. We need to meet up or something. Its great to see more and more people joining the forums. When I first joined it was like pulling teeth just trying to find people from the same state. And about splash being the worst, I've always thought of them as one of the best. I've never run my Z through there but if I absolutely had to I would choose splash.

It's ok with regular tires. With the low profiles and projecting rims, unless you drive it onto the rail yourself you are taking a big chance. The last time I was there I saw them drive a Hummer in. The front wheels caught but the rear ones climbed over the rail and then into the groove. The projecting metal parts, such as rivets are set at 5 3/4" H. Anything below that can get damaged. I was going to make a claim against them (I had two police reports backing me up), but then realized how much I would lose going to court. It wasn't worth the time and aggravation. With the '06's getting those rims I would suppose that there will be a few damage claims coming up. Not everyone has the time to wash by hand. Perhaps we 3 could get together at the Milford hand wash. I'll bring the pretzels, as long as you bring the beer. Jamiera, you can bring the honey-dijon dip if you like.

I thought the '06 Grand Tourings came with a different set of wheels? 5 spokers with little dots on 'em? And off-set?

*This is the wheel with the indentations. The 35th wheel is what is installed on all other Z's. I copied this from the 2006 Z catalog:
http://www.nissanusa.com/vehicles/ModelAttributes/0,,126264|31001|,00.html

*RAYS® super lightweight 5-spoke 18" x 9.0" (front) and 19" x 10.0" (rear) forged aluminum-alloy wheels are available on both the Track and Grand Touring Coupe models. The 5-spoke aluminum-alloy 18" x 8.0" front and 18" x 8.5" rear wheels are standard on all other models.

YES!! Isn't it crazy. And three women at that. We definitely have to meet up. As you can see I joined in 8/04 because I just knew I was getting this car one day. It took me a year and some months but it's mine Yea Splash is good for my Sebring but not the Z, I only want my paws on it for now. What color is your Z??

That did puzzle me a wee bit. I am glad you clarified that, in as I did remember seeing a handsome young guy in a silver Z at that red light. But then again, because of old age, my eyes and mind could have very-well been failing me. LOL

June

ps. so Mister, is it a yes or a no?....is it beer, pretzels and dip at the car wash, or do we have to twist your arm?
