Default New to forums, saying hello.

Hey, owner of a 350z since January. Been on the forums since then, finally made an account yesterday at work. I've been lurking a lot but figured I'd join in. Anyways I have a 2003 350z enthusiast, not really looking to FI it or anything, just a daily driver / track car every couple weekends. (I've been karting since I was 13.) I've always loved Z's, finally saved up enough to pay off my own. I remember helping my father build his 260z in his parents old garage in Florida, but yeah just saying hi. Look forward to meeting a lot of new people here and having great times.

I wish I had got into karting at a young age. Some of the videos of karts racing in closed off streets in Europe are crazy. Are you still racing them or upgraded to something a bit bigger?

Welcome and congrats

Welcome aboard.

Used to watch the shifter cart guys go at it in supporting races at Laguna Seca and thought, "Oh holy c**p.... those guys are turning laps faster than the Vees!" (Formula Vee).

Followed by.... "Nutz!!"

Haha, not so much. Ever since I got my license I've been out of it. I need to find some track events in my area.




and here's a pic for Oz. I don't have a lot done to it, because I'm still getting a feel for it but the first thing I noticed from switching from a 260 to a 350 was it's so god damn front heavy, and my previous owner didn't know how to drive stick. I decided to just get some breathing mods on it first and try and get some seat time when I find a track day.

5/16 spacer, jwt pop charger and an AP exhaust.

Eventually I'll swap the clutch and flywheel because I felt it slipping after a month of buying it, no biggie it's to be expected buying used. The only thing the owner did was swap the front brakes to stoptech st-40's.

I can't imagine parting with mine ever since I put it on.

I love the color too, sadly the front bumper has a chip in it about the size of a quarter, but it's still annoying when washing it. The rear splash guards on the tires seem to be chipped too. It's a 03 so I guess wear / road rash is to be expected, but eventually I'll figure it out. I might have someone touch up the paint when I get a diffuser put on the front.
