Yup, here I am, with a 350Z..... Here's how it happened: Went out to eat with a friend, became bored and decided to go look at cars. Found the Z sitting on a lot, and wanted to drive it. I had absolutely no intentions of buying the thing. 4 1/2 hours later, I'm walking out with the keys, and saying goodbye to my beloved 98 Cobra . I was honestly impressed with this car. I wasn't expecting a Cobra killer, nor did I get one, but nonetheless I was impressed with the performance offered up by the Z.

On to the car: Black with the brown/orange leather seats, 6spd.

I have a few questions to start with:
1. How can I tell which trim level I have? I have leather, heated seats, VDC, 6spd, non-brembo calipers, and the little gauge that does everything but show G's .

2. What are the most reputable sites as far as purchasing mods go?

3. Am I insane?

And for the record, as far as my experience with cars go, my first car was a 68 Mustang coupe with a 289 and a 3 speed. After that was a 96 Mustang GT that eventually ended up with heads, cams, intake, headers, x pipe, catback, gears, shocks/struts, springs, shifter, brake upgrade. Then I followed with the 98 Cobra that had, cold air, gears, shifter, exhaust, springs, shocks/struts. Now I'm feel as though I'm trekking into new territory.

 

Welcome. Congrats on the purchase.
1. Touring Trim
2. Vendors under the marketplace are usually pretty good to us.
3. Of course, but you're also going to be happy.

 

Where in Texas are you from? You need to check out the local forum.

 

Thanks for the welcome guys.

JDM, I'm in Sherman/Denison.

 

Welcome and congratZ on the impulse buy. Lots of great info around here. What year is your Z?

 

Jeff and Jen at West Covina Nissan for parts. I know they are in CA, but they know there stuff.

Sherman is not too far from Plano/Dallas area. You should come out to our meets.

 

Congrats. What your is your Touring Z?

 

I'm assuming you're asking what year? It's an 03.

I forgot to ask - I went to the Nissan dealer and had the service records ran. Nothing big on there, at least nothing to cause any concern. They did however do the fuel line recall, but when I asked about the rear, they told me they never heard of such a recall. Am I being lied to, or is there really something wrong with the rear and not being able to get it within spec?

JDM, I'd love to make it out to a meet, what days are they on? Also, it'll be tough as of right now I'm overworked and understaffed.
