Ethan- You didn't happen to be on Rt 571 today driving your '84 maybe around 4:00?

 

wasn't my car unless someone stole it! I've been at work all day.

The blurryness is due to the CCD of the camera holding the capture windows open longer; it doesn't happen with the flash since the flash provides sufficient reflection for a fast snap. So to get good night pictures with no flash, have the camera sit on something still (a tripod would be too much to ask for; but you can lay the camera on the hood of another car or anything that will keep the camera super still).

 

Sweet, sweet car. Have you noticed any kind of low-gear oversteer with the TCS off?

 

One year later & I'm still having fun!!!!

Always good to see another NJ person up in here....Got an '05 Z myself and 5,000 miles...Old girl is gonna take a winter break though and put those winter miles on the company car ('05 Pontiac Grand Prix GT) instead!

Plus, they pay for the GAS too!

 

I have a 2004 Touring same color as you. Had it for 2 weeks but never drove it yet, since car is in FL and i am in CA. Will be going to FL monday and can't wait to drive it.

I know your feeling and i think it is cool. ENJOY THE RIDE.

04350zTouring - 172miles only.

 

And the nice thing is that 3 years after delivery, that "feeling" about this car is still there- I'm having so much fun with this thing. There have been a few bumps along the road, but the dealers i've gone to for service have been fine.

hey congrats man, if you want to meet up with some NJ Zeds, come on Sunday nights to the Cherry Hill Mall at around 9pm, a couple of us meet up with a local car meet. it is on the side where Strawbridges is and rt38. always a good time.

SJ rules!

 

Hey RacerZ you should come too!!!

 

Am I invited to ? I only live about 20 minutes away from the mall. But by the looks of Ethan's avatar I may be frowned upon and cast away from the Z brotherhood because I own a 5AT.

dude, there is a member who goes every Sunday with a 5at who runs 13.4's all day. you're definitely welcome : )

Definetly come on up (or down?) 9pm lots of different makes too. I have a silver Z... names Tom

 

Hey Ethan where the comparision you promised from the '84 to '03. LOL !!!

Glad to hear you are still as happy with her 3 years later. I am at year 2 and feel even better about my baby than the day I met her.

When you bumped the thread I had to read the history.

I bought my '04 to replace my '84 300ZXT AE. I sold the AE after a year owning the 350Z. I thought I might have some new car issues that would require me to keep my old commute car (AE) but not a one and I had too many cars to keep the AE.

So, what is your impression. Mine, I love the torque on the twisty mountain roads and the fresh, ahead of it's time styling. I plan on doing some more mods. I just hope this car lasts as long as my AE did. I had 200K on the clock and was still running really strong with 10psi boost.



I still miss the AE ..... T-tops are nice!

Here's the '04. As you can see I'm modding already:
