Default New '04 Roadster owner

I just picked up this '04 350Z Roadster 6spd (Touring trim I think) for a decent price.



I got it as a bit of a fixer upper. I've never owned a Z car before and thought this might be a fun project. The car was broken into by slashing the soft top and then the center console was hacked up to get at the stereo. Additionally, there was a system in the trunk that was ripped out. The only thing in the trunk is the spare and some plastic and styrofoam pieces. No lining or carpeting. The traction and SLIP lights are lit but I think it might have something to do with the 20" rims, though the tire size diameter does appear right. There's a CEL for a crank position sensor which I believe is leading to a hard start issue; I've ordered a new one. The clutch was replaced 7k miles ago and the cam position sensor was done recently as well. The car also had a minor front-end collision in which they repainted the car back in 2017. It looks faded in the color due to the early morning sunlight and my mediocre cell phone camera. The panels all line up and everything looks decent. Unfortunately, the guy bought it from clipped the front right side of the bumper, hopefully I can straighten that out without too much difficulty. I've driven the car about 30 miles so far, mostly highway, and aside from what's likely an unbalanced (or out of round) rim, it feels great.

I'm hoping to do some basic mechanical maintenance, clean the car up, replace some interior bits including a new soft top and have some enjoyable time with it come Spring!

Shoot, I think I got a little trigger happy posting this and didn't notice there's a separate forum for new owners. Could a mod toss this over there or delete this and I'll re-post?
