Proud new owner of an '03 silverstone 350z
After driving a 1994 black emerald NA 300z for almost 6 problem free years, I upgraded to a silverstone 350z w/ performance package and aero. The car has 34K miles and was bought from Classic Hummer outside of Dallas on a trade in for an H2. I flew up there knowing the car had Borla exhaust, some type of aftermarket plenum and aftermarket strut bar. Apparently the dealer was clueless as to what they had because I was pleasantly surprised when I got up there. After the dealer picked me up from the airport and as I was walking up the Z it seemed a little lower to me. So I get on the groud and have a look underneath the back and to my pleasant surpise I see an 350zevo (I think?) rear sway bar. I think to myself nice. I look further... ooo what is this? Tein coilover suspension... jackpot! haha. Turns out after a little research when I get home it has a crawford modified intake manifold, and strut bar, drop in k&n, and a bunch of ground wires in the car among the aforementioned mods. I stole the car from the dealer for $21.6k out the door. After work today I headed over to Hennessey (I worked there in high school and am still in real good with everyone there). We throw it up on the lift briefly to see if it had any other goodies, but the only thing I found was what looked to be some type of aftermarket cat piece. Then I threw it up on the dyno and in 98 degree Houston heat with a heatsoaked motor from a 50 min rush hour drive w/ ac it put down a modest 252rwhp. I couldn't get a torque number b/c we couldn't find a spark plug wire to get the rpm reading. So this leads me to my first question for those who have dynoed, where did you hook it up? Once I get this I will return for a cooler run w/ some torque numbers. Oh yeah, pics from the dealer can be found here, haven't had time to snap any new pics of it yet... http://www.ebizautos.com/shared/view...72174&aid=3678 The jury is still out on this speed racer grill. Its not bad but I can't decide whether I want to keep it. I saw a pic that has a little 3 line polished grill thing that I kind of like, anyone interested in a trade? With all the extras it has on it now the only plan mods I have to date is tint (does this even count?) and after seeing a pic on here earlier, sirius mounted where the nav would go. In conclusion I am thrilled to still be a member of the Z community and am absolutely extatic to own this fine performing car. Thanks for reading.
...oh yeah, one last thing, is there anyway I can change my s/n to dlaw350z ?

I forgot another question. The car has a Nissan bumper to bumper warranty till 36k miles. Is it typical for a powertrain warranty to continue till 60k? If so, another mod to add to the list is 17in stockers and sticky tires for TWS. And for the record, naturally the car is 6spd.
