Old school member checking in. I still have my z however I don't drive it that much. It just sits in the garage. It has 77k on it. Took delivery on it Sept 18. This was the first brand new car I had ever bought and will probably be the last. Do any of the old members remember when we made the first 350z movie that was filmed down in Cape May NJ. I also remember when everyone was getting the grounding kit for their cars. Ahh the good ole days.

 

Originally, delivered @ Michael Jordan Nissan, Chapel Hill, NC
VIN #00254
Silver KYO Touring Edition 6 speed manual
MFG date 07/02

I am the 2nd owner, purchased at Leith Nissan, Apex NC 2010 on my birthday, Sept 12
Odo on delivery 88,000

Won 2nd place Z33 Triangle Z club 2011 in Apex NC!
Odo now at 105,100 miles.
Still a daily driver!
I love this car, it has fulfilled my college days dream of owning a 240z that I could never afford. The funny story is I went to the dealership to buy a Versa and test drove this Z, I could not sleep that night, had to go back to buy it the next day.

 

Original owner with fond memories of the pre order process. The car is #49 and currently has 15,400 miles on it and still looks like the day I bought it.

 

Not surprised it still looks like new. That's hardly any mileage. What spec and colour is it?

 

Touring model with all options except navi. Chrome Silver exterior.

 

Anyone remember the Z Book that Nissan sent all the pre-orders? How about the DVD titled "The Run" and of course, the Z trading cards.

 

Hopefully this pic will work:

Those will be worth something to a serious Z enthusiast in years to come.

 

I purchased a 2003 Enthusiast VIN# 254, ordered 1-22-02, delivered 08-26-2002 straight for the Jacksonville port. Have 54000 miles and since my retirement she runs less 20 miles a month, sits in the garage covered, looks and runs like new. I plan to keep her forever... I have 34000 miles on the front tires and 24000 on the rears, all have over 5/32 tread, I averaged 24 MPG, never a problem except for 2 batteries and those darn power window motor. I got sucked into the grounding kit, and a big azz spoiler, the rest is all original. KJS, Jupiter, FL

 

Yeah, mine is signed by the designer and three of the engineers that helped bring the Z33 to fruition.

 

Woah -- anyone still here that bought one originally?

 

Yes I still have my Z 03 LeMans sunset 88k on it 7k built and boosted 500+ HP to the wheels. I've been thinking of selling her to someone who will use it as it just sits in the garage. I don't drive it to much but still maintain it. I don't think there are to many of us left. I left one thing out vin# 620.

 

Oh yeah! Prepping VIN #00159 for this Saturday's run from Dallas to West, Texas, to be followed by next week's run from here in Dallas up to Branson Z Fest. She's got 194,051 miles on the odometer now!

 

Good to see there are some of the original cast still here and hanging in. I still have mine. Miles still under 15,550(original). Still sits in the garage covered and can't decide if I should sell it, modify it like some other have done, or sit on it long enough to see it be worth more than it is now.

 

I've got about 88k on mine now. Had a mouse crawl in and die about a month ago. Had to take apart everything until I finally found the rotting carcass under the amps. Figured I'd replace the headunit too since I already had it all apart.

 

Just checking in here after looking at some old school threads. I just put the insurance back into effect on my 2003 Brickyard and plan on taking it out later this week. That is, if the rain ever stops and it gets up over 50 degrees!!! Mid May and still late winter weather up in in western PA.

I have 54K on the car. Just to catch everyone up on any mods I will post some pics. Had the interior done about 3-4 years ago. My kids got me this new shift **** for Christmas and I haven't even driven the car since then to try it out! Hopefully this week!

Damn ChinaClipper, 200k almost? We should get a run down of your maintenance items. That's awesome.

And of course, Bonz is still here. I still worship at the altar of Zaino. Just put a couple of fresh coats on the orange and green ones last weekend.

I'm curious to see how many more check in. Is that just 5 left?
