Default I've gone to the darkside (G35 to 370Z)

Well, after 5 1/2 years of owning my G35...it was time for a change. Boosted on the stock block from 62k miles to 113k miles was amazing! I decided I didn't want to wait around any longer for the motor to let go, so why not upgrade?

I tried to do a photoshoot of the car in OEM fashion, but couldn't wait to put my wheels on.

I had to add 5mm spacers all around to fit the 20"x8.5" & 20" x 10" full polished IForged Aeros on so they would clear the calipers. The fronts sit just the way I'd like, but the rears need to come out another 5-10mm. So I'll be ordering those.

Already in the garage are the Stillen G3 intakes, Berk HFCs, and HKS exhaust. I have H&R springs and SPC rear camber arms on the way. I'd like to order a front lip...just weighing my options for now. As my previous car has left me spoiled, I do see boost in my future

I love the anniversary's red brake calipers!!! too bad they are still akebono's and are a huge heat sink... I hope the large spacing in your new wheels helps out displacing heat... it looks fast sitting still... I love it

Thanks for the compliments, everyone! I'm loving it so far. I've already put over 1,000 miles on it in 3 weeks.

Ehh....I don't worry about that. People can see my plate driving around, so what's the point of blurring it out in photos? I'll let you sit in the seats, but please don't take them

love the 370z, saw and sat in a nismo 370 last night and its freaking gorgeous. its weird because imho, the 370z is very photogenic but man they sure do leave a nice impression when you see them in person.
