Dawn's new/used Z, is the old owner on here?

2004 Touring 6spd Silverstone

So I bought this car on the 1st. It only had 32,500 miles on it an its an '04 Touring. I'm really hoping that maybe the original owner is on here and can tell me what exactly they had done to the car. The only mods I know of are :

some weird looking Ebay like intake (that's coming off for something better)
DC Sport Headers (I want Stillen)
High flow cats (look like Crawford)
Borla Cat back (which I love to death)
Cams (? The service advisor at Nissan wants to see whats inside of it because he already likes the car)
Shortshifter (I removed that the next day)
Hideous sideskirts that look as badly installed as that one car from here that's all over the web
fugly billet grille that was removed within 24 hours of purchasing
and '05+ Wheels that I love.


All that I do know of the car is what was on the Carfax. It was purchaced in Feb '05 , maintained, and turned back in on Feb '07 to Sheehy Nissan in Annapolis and it was registered in Maryland.

I'm not stressed just curious. I had to take all the mods off of my Civic before I traded it in for this car so part of me wonders why someone would leave them all on. I love the car and it hauls. I just want to know what was done to it because I'm strange like that. I want to know what to look for or what to remove and replace ASAP.


A few pics.

Yep. You have the black '08 Enthusiast right?

Those are 06 wheels, and how do you know it has cam work? I would advise not taking the DC headers off, because it is about a 12 hour job.

props on taking the grille off asap!

I don't thats why there is a ? next to them. There's a funky orange seal on the engine and the service advisor was the one to mention why after I said, "can't ever recall seeing that on one of these before." 12 hours? No wonder they're still on the car.

I friend of mine and myself installed a set of crawfords on my '04 last summer in just under 6 hours, and those are the worst to install, and we did it on jack stands. I know from experience, I don't need to read other posts saying how long it took somebody else to do it.

They are installed very very badly. You know that car on here with the bad body work? I saw the thread and thought, "Did this guy own the car?" I bought a set of stock side skirts from a member on here so hopefully I won't have to be embarrassed when I open my doors anymore.

That's strange, that I didn't respond, that is. Sorry about that. Yes, I am. I go back tomorrow. :( Thanks on the car. A little work and I'll make it really look like its mine. :)
