Well im new to being a nissan owner let alone a Z...just a bit about my history..i had a 2001 civic before 300whp k24 supercharged..i wanted a better platform and a nicer looking car which is why i chose a Z...im happy..i got an 04 track model but its missing the brembos the previous owner tookem off..but its cool., i got it for 15k with 40kmiles and another thing..i think its missing a ABS sensor cuz my slip/tcs off lights are on and cant seem to turn it off..but yea i'll post pics up later..

 

Congrats and welcome.

Hmmm...wonder why the previous owner took off the brembos?

 

cause if he was going to sell the car, you get more money selling them and putting on just regular stock brakes over selling it together...

 

ah, good stuff.

 

yea i figured that too...but im still happy with the car and price it also came with a carbon fiber front end...but eh..i'll post pics as soon as i take some good ones

 

So are you running on gold rims? Hence, the name? If so, what kind?

 

actually im not my Z is that sunset orange or whatever sunset color it is with black rims..the screen name came from my old car/forums i had a civic before and was on the civic and k20 forums alot! so i figure if is stay with this s/n its a whooole lot easier to remember..so yea lol

 

civic k24... so old

 

Welcome, bet you're enjoying the move over to RWD. Have fun out there.

 

yea thanks..its a totally different sence of control..but overall i like it...in a way i feel more mature about the whole car and switch over

 

Don't let it bite you back though. RWD can do that to the unaware.

 

what do u mean by bite me back?

 

The rear of the car can get away on you if you're not used to it.

 

oooh ok yea i know how thats like lol..ill be sure to only let loose in a open space btw no i didnt crash

 

I guess the new generation has grown up with only front wheel drive. Before the 1980's----virtually all cars were rear wheel drive. We just drove them and didn't know the difference and really didn't have a problem driving them. The Z is no different to driving the older rear wheel drive cars and I don't see why all the warnings concerning rear wheel drive. The car is much more controllable when the front wheels do the steering and the back wheels do the propulsion.

 

I agree with you, but case in point we see it frequently posted on here, the back of the car got away on me and.....................

 

well yea thats true but i think r pblly most likely to oversteer then understeer
