Default '05 Ultra Yellow Enthusiast

Finally got around to posting pics of the new car. Traded in my '04 SB base to get this eyegrabber. I ordered it with the Nismo Aero kit and decal kit as you can see. Also, with the suspension and swaybar set. I didn't order up the Nismo wheels since I had already bought these rpf1s for my '04, nor did I want the Exhaust as I am planning to get an HKS to match my intake.

I have heard people describe the Z's as a versatile looking car with elegance, sportiness, and refinement. Then there's mine.

I guess your unique in a way, since there isn't alot of UY with the Nismo S-Tune set up (give a take a few parts) on this board.

Nice yellow Z. I don't see many ultra yellows here in So Cal; mainly silvers. The Nismo setup, along with the yellow color, make your car pretty unique.

By the way, how does the Nismo suspension compare to the stock springs? And did you have to get realignment? I'm thinking about putting them onto my car as well. And welcome to the forum.

The suspension is just sooo much better than stock. On my '04, I had some H&R springs w/ factory struts and this is miles beyond that. my only gripe is that this setup is not as low as that one was (3/4" as opposed to 1-1/2") but it feels far more solid.

As for realignment, I ordered the car as you see it (minus the wheels and intake from my prior one) so it was all taken care of before delivery.

welcome to the yellow club!!!! Your car looks HOT AS HELL!!!!! The Nismo aero kit is by far the sweetest there is....looks absolutely fantastic. I'm not a big fan of stickers either but the S-tune graphic actually looks pretty tasteful. I curse you because now I want that aero kit and my wallet is still recovering from my other mods

Nice car. I want sides for mine ( I have Nismo lip (US) and spoiler (JDM copy) but those sides are too aggresive for my taste.

Thanks for the positives guys. I agree that the decals are not for everyone, but for me, it breaks up the yellow just enough for my liking.

Decals look like they belong there on your yellow Z.

Nicely done, I like it with the decals also, but everyone has different tastes.

i love the car, except the yellow, the spoiler, and the decals. the rest of the kit is nice though. nice and subtle, but still sick looking. so that's the nismo kit? is that the saem one blue bat has on his DB? i'm getting a DB and i want that kit when I do get it.

Very nice. I like the yellow. I also like your Nismo body kit and graphics kit. I have been thinking about the graphics kit for my car, but can't find good pictures of it on a Daytona Blue Z. The Nismo wheels would look awesome on your car with the other Nismo goodies.

Wow, the decals actually look damn good. Very nice car if you ask me. It looks like it would really belong as a factory sponsored racecar or something. Kinda like how the 95 M3 lightweight had the BMW flag on it. Big thumbs up from me!!! How much were the decals by the way?

I had my dealership throw them in for free but Performance Nissan has them for $159.95. I think they retail for $175 and I don't know how much they are to install. Can't take too long to put on stickers.
