Very nice car. I am on the verge of purchasing my Z. I'm carefully studying everybody's experience and which mods to add on. I'll probably go Roadster Black/Orange Seats and the NISMO aero kits.
Here is my question. What/how did you install your front license plate? Does the engine heat up with the plate on?
ThankZ,

I endorse the zee-bracket and I've never had a problem w/ the car heating up.

don't let the dealer install the factory bracket or you'll have to have the holes filled. also, if you're going with the nismo accessories, just have it all included in the cost of the car and installed before you take delivery. then it's got a longer warranty, and you don't need extra insurance to cover your mods.

Hey thanks for the heads up. I was under the impression that since it is all NISMO that I could simply add the parts on piece by piece and the warranty would simply be included as long as it was NISMO. I was even hoping to install as much of the "bolt on" parts as I could myself, only using the dealer when a particular project "out of my hands". (I'm guessing the cat-back is pretty hard to install, maybe the aero kit).
The only problem is the car I want isn't in my state. I'm planning a road trip to purchase the exact car that I want. I pretty sure that if I seem too eager at the dealership then they won't give me a good price. Also, I found a shop of the 'net that has the NISMO parts for allot cheaper than the dealer. My local dealer seems completely innept and was unable to give me a strait answer how much it would cost me to install some of the NISMO parts.
Anybody have any experience with NISMO warranty/installation AFTER purchasing their Z?
How about going across the country to pick up the EXACT Z they want?
ThankZ again 2 all,

Very nice!!! I would love to see that in person. Could you please PM me if you ever visit Everett? I bought the Nismo kit as well (still needs to be painted) and already have the NIsmo wheels.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Wow I've been looking for yellow Z-car owners and most of them seem to be in the NEW OWNERS Section - what gives? hahaha
Luv the car and kit, hate those decals.....I saw one the other night and thought it was a homemade contrapction till I saw your post. Guess it's an individual thing....
