Default My first NISSAN

and first convertable I am really a truck guy and took the plundge into a sports car, I have been interested in the 350z sence 2002 when it first came out but it wasen't practicle for me until I said HELL WITH IT!!! found a good deal on a 2006 350zr touring with 13,000 miles so I made it my christmas present



it is automatic and is the first one that I have ever seen with chrome 5 spoke wheels, I fell in love with it the first time I laid my eyes upon it. I have never owned a nissan before ...................... but think we will have a beautiful friendship together.................enjoy! I will post more pic's when it warms up more here in Central Arkansas

Chromed stock wheels are infamous for cracking.

Makes sense to me. 350Z appeal is that it is not a practical vehicle - just fun. No one at a funereal says “Man I sure loved that guy. He was practical.”

Sounds like you got all the normal stuff fixed. Only things left are the Window motors.

06 MT were the ones with oil consumption. The AT still had the DE, so nothing there.
