Default dubbs' 2006 Z33

Hey guys,

New to the site and new to Z cars. I live in St. Louis and a few weeks ago I was lucky enough to find an awesome 2006 6MT 350Z Touring. Found it at Carmax of all places. I live in St. Louis and we don't have a Carmax here, so I had it shipped to Kansas City and I picked it up there. The biggest selling point - it had less than 33k miles when I drove it off the lot.

It's been a blast so far. I love the 7k redline and mid-high end power. The car is more nimble than I thought it would be and is very responsive in the corners. It's not my first Nissan. I recently sold an RB20DET swapped S13 which was my drift/weekend car. Obviously, this is a far cry from that pile (I'll die happy if I never own another 240), but it did get me hooked on RWD. First car was a 1994 Honda Prelude.

Don't have too many pics yet, but it's bone stock at the moment. Still need to buy an aftermarket head unit - this thing reminded me how much I hate local radio stations.





Our wonderful weather from a couple weeks ago X______________X


My plans for the car are pretty simple. Wheels, coils, exhaust, short throw...that's about all. It's my daily and I enjoy backroading immensely, so the car will not be stanced. Just pre-ordered 18x9.5 +20 XXR 531s (yeah I know) and I'll be springing for nice summer tires and some coilovers next.

Anyways, just wanted to introduce myself. I don't do the forum thing nearly as much as I used to, but I'll try to update this thread as the car evolves over time.

Thanks for looking.

Welcome - but do yourself a favor and forget the short shifter.
