Default Retired the TT . . . (Sold)

Well, it was a fun ride and it killed me to watch it roll away with a new owner, but my Z days are done. Just want to give a shout out to Sharif and Charles for all the PMs and phone calls during the install . . . they're great guys!

But wait . . . is it . . . why yes it is! Another sibling within the Nissan community is coming out to play in a few months: 2006 Infiniti M35. Same engine, different looks, and a nice platform for a mean, yet refined *LOL*, sleeper. Why pay another $10K for 50hp (V8 M45)?

In any case, I'm here to stay and with any luck, diving back into the trenches for the new project vehicle.

Very nice Gary! I'm glad that the new owner is wanting to build it up though!! Definitely is great that the new owner will take care of it!

He's a younger guy, but I've got faith in him I'm more worried that he'll bottom out the front bumper *LOL*. Nevertheless, I gave him some cliff notes on what needs to be addressed to take her to the next level. We'll see how well he follows directions

I don't understand, why are you selling it after going TT? Did you have a lot of problems and it drove you nuts?

Default Then Again M45 - TT

Then again a M45 TT might be a "Vegas Trip" killer..

Good Choice on the M35.. At least it is a known power plant...

Let's see bigger injectors, E-MAnage Ultimate. Done Deal..

Cheers Amy -

Good luck with the M! I saw one of those in Charcoal gray the other day for the first time, and let me tell you they look *much* better in person than they do in photos. I drooled. Congrats!

No, not at all. The TT was fun as hell. No problems whatsoever. I just have a ton of debt that I'm eliminating. After a few months, I'll be in a much better position to buy a home next year and start on another project: M35. Plus, I built the car for show only and I felt it only had a few other ways to go . . . all of which were going to cost a few grand.

I'll miss her
