UPDATE: the car as of right now is running like absolute shiit due to my own personal fault. i had the car's idle raised at the dealer and ever since then then car can't even hold its own idle when started. i'm getting pretty sick of this crap. i will be scheduling one last appointment for this car at ZCARGARAGE to have it retuned once again and see if i can get it running good. if not, so long Z....this really sucks

Gotcha. Good luck with getting the tune straightened out. That really is a beautiful car.

i know, i've been admiring this car ever since i had my first 350z in 2003, i used to drool looking at this beast being worked on and used to think "my Z is going to be like that one day' , who would've known, it would be my car!

Yeah, I drove in it when it was tuned for 8,754,244 RWHP. It was overheating just by doing a few pulls. Did he leave the suspension? I know he sold the brakes and wheels. Is the water injection still on it?

Awesome car Chichi. I haven't told Rob about my crash yet, but I remember him saying "be safe . . . call me when you get home."

Now I'm Z-less

Be safe out there man. I wish we could've met and kicked in in Cali, maybe if I left at a different time my Z would still be intact. Guess we all live and learn, huh?

Good luck and be careful. Don't let the streetracing devil talk you into doing it . . . . not worth it.
