What color was the van?

 

Welcome.

 

welp here she is!!!!! i took some quick pictures and talked business for a while to get everything straightened out. i was def feeling like a kid at christmas time.

 

i hired a trucking company to haul her over here

 

Pretty . Pretty. Welcome and congratulations.

 

some one help me out here?? First off I dont think this is an 07 or 08, unless the hood has been changed. I thought all 07-08's came with the bulged hood. I looked over the forum and hope i didnt miss the statement of him buying a pre 07. I could have swore it was an 07 with HR he said. Also what the h*ll is that thing sticking up on the rear left??? Is this what all of you are talking about as a radio tower? dannnn mmmmm thats huge. Mine came stock with one that is covered in rubber/plastic and maybe 12in only. Ive never minded it, but always wondered what everyone was talking about "REPLACE YOU ANTENNA" Please school, hate, flame me but Im thinking this is not an 07. ???

 

oh k, i just looked at the tach, no HR there. HR's rev up to 7500 not 7000. So did you get a diff vehicle? Do you have dual intakes under the hood? That is deff not looking like an HR.
My guess is Revup 2006.
I love the color though. Glad you got your car and you can join the rest of us out there cruising around. Enjoy her, just make sure you got what you paid/negotiate for.

 

I'd guess the same: 2006 Base Rev-up.

Not a bad place to start since many mods are being contemplated. Just be careful of oil consumption...assuming my guess is correct (rev-up).

 

yeah sorry i typo'ed before, sorry for the confusion its a 2006 model
one throttle body under the hood. I confuse myself in typing becuase my original financial path was made for a 2007 VQ35HR platform, even thought i want and got a 2006. The parts i have planned in my technical path for the 2006 Z are obviously at a cheaper price than the 2007 VQ35HR 350Z therefore giving me some cash leeway with shipping and stuff, and if i need anything installed for me becuase of my handycap.

As for the giant antenna, its not going to stay on there long..... neither is a lot of the stuff you see there, the interior will be changed a little as well. Which i gotta say, holy Sh*T are seats expensive as well as the harness bar that goes behind the dang seats.
but, i was in one accident before so i wanna be safe.

thanks everyone for being so welcoming and helping me make sure i got what i paid for: as i go on i will probably need your help with stuff I can't find in research

as a side note check these out, this is from my accident back in march i may post others on this too: this bike def got having trouble with the upload

 

there go

 

not only did you forget the photos you also forgot the we.



I use the simple add photos at bottom of thread post. allows 5 photos. Im interested in seeing the bike... get those photos up here. nice job with the 06, plenty of mods available for you. HR's dont have nearly as much and do cost a bit more.

 

Well take care, hope you heal up nicely.

Welcome, and use the search ALOT when thinking of mods. I can't tell you how many times I've thought about putting this and that on the Z only to find a thread here basically justifying how stupid that move would've been.

Good luck on the Z.

 

As requested, here are some additional pics of my accident. Im sure you guys know this but i didn't take these, the fuzz did, and they didn't give my helmet back. I got my tool kit, jacket they cut off me but it saved my skin, my gloves, and my plate. oh yeah, and my clothes they cut off me too.

 

thanks for the tip on searching. I will try my best to not post any dumb questions haha. I know i hate it when i read, what is the best intake and stuff like that.

nice! i just read that, i sounded like a tool bag lol

 

oh yeah, I think i got pics of me as well on my home computer, nothing gory or anything, but Im sure you guys wouldn't care. I'm at work now, I basically polish a seat wtih my ***, but it is payin the bills, so I'll look for them when i get home.

 

alright last picture i found. Im sure you know this but they like to cut stuff off you after an accident.
Reason # 1,983,475 for me to buy a Z.
No personal pics of my injuries, i don't like lookin at em lol
Next pics I'll post will be of progress being made on the car, hopefully soon but I have to be patient, the wife and I just bought a house.

 

My car is done!!! j/k but i did run across this kit when i was doin some research as well as a crossover to a SLK i think. I really dont know what to make of it, why didn't they just buy a rolls already. nice licence plate too









the start of my parts list:
headers (Stillen )
high flow cat (Stillen)
dual exhaust (greddy evo 2)
cold air intake AEM or other, still up in the air, probably stillen or Injen
Wheels--thinking of RPM 505 18", HP Design Evo2 18*, or konig lace same size maybe
CHIP ECU from stillens site http://www.stillen.com/product.asp?i...SAN&model=350Z have to do a little more research on this guy
H&R Street Coil Overs (Adjustable)

 

Gratz on ur Z and welcome to the forum! Sorry i'm late haha

 

Man you can get yourself a 370Z...however 32K is a lot. I would by an 07-08 so you got the HR. You can pick one up from about $20-22K. Then you got about 10K on upgrades...that A LOT of upgrades. Hell even F/I. But look into rims, exhaust, body kit, spoiler, etc. Whatever your heard desires. Then you will be truely happy. Enjoy your Z!

 

thanks for the direction and input. F/I is somethign i want to do, down the road what ever upgrade money i have left i am going to buy a short block V6 and build it up from there. I know on a stock engine you can only run 3-8 psi safely before doing some real damage to the point of motor replacement. I read a thread on here about doing it this way while doing some research and i thought it was a great idea. Finding a good short block maufacture is another story, didnt' do research on them but will eventually get to that.

if i go this route, i see it as at least i have a LONG term project to do and a laudry list of items, making the fedex or UPS person my best friend .

oh yeah, if anyone knows any short block/long block engine maufact. names off the top of their head let me know. nahhh ya know what? i hate when ppl do that so i'll research it myself lol, if ya wanna ok if not then i got it covered lol
