Default Newbie from Toronto!

Hey guys,

I just picked up a 2005 Anniversary Edition Z last weekend with only 28,000 km's! It's in mint condition and I am so proud to be driving a "true" sports car.

Previously I was driving a 2003 Hyundai Tiburon SE. It has now been regulated to winter beater status as I've put 161,000 KM on it in about 8 years.

I'm from Toronto, Ontario and just wanted to introduce myself to other Z owners in Canada and in the GTA.

Looking forward to meeting you guys!

Jason

Welcome man, Nice ride, looks very clean and very stock !

As a newbie I suggest you do not post any threads that have already been answered, make sure you search for answers before you ask.

Otherwise everyone on here will flame the sh.it out of you.

Other than that, Welcome and if you need any help people here are always willing to help out

hahaha Stock it is! thanks for the nice welcome...

I come previously from Newtiburon.com so I know all about posting stuff you can search. I've seen too many Newb's get flamed.

Nice to be part of a community again!

Best car I've owned to date this Z!!!!

Ah, I was waiting for this.

Watch make sure you check the oil levels weekly to make sure your rev up isn't burning oil, quite a large scale problem with your year(s) of developement engine wise.

Welcome...

Welcome.. Love the 35ths

-As mentioned, check your oil every 500km or less... If your consumption is as bad as mine was, you will notice immediately.

FYI- It's not a matter of "if".. its simply a matter of when it will start to consume...
For more details check the OC sticky thread in the Engine section.. or you can simply search this sub-forum.. I am sure you will find all the answers you need.

Fow now the engine oil level does look to be pretty stable although I will definitely keep a bottle or two in the trunk in case. Does the engine oil burn depend on how you drive the car?
