Default 2004 Touring - Z #2

Well, after lurking around here and talking to some of you, I finally found my Z. Well, two weeks ago, I've been too busy driving to do much of anything. My love affair with Z's started when I was twelve and my dad worked at a Nissan dealership. After bringing a 300zx TT home I was hooked. My first was a 91 300zx 2+2, and though I loved the car, it had had a very rough life before I got it. I ended up spending a lot of time and money, and had a lot of fun with the car, but, in the end, it was just too much work for little gain. So a few months ago I set out to purchase a new Z, after bouncing back and forth between a TT 300 and a 350, I finally went with the 350. 18k for a low mileage TT was more than I wanted, and I feared a repeat of the first Z, only with turbos to deal with as well. After looking at a few dozen 350's I settled on one I found on a local Honda forum of all places. Two hour road trip later, and I was hooked as surely as I was the first time I saw the 300zx TT. So, two mondays ago I picked it up and have been grinning from ear to ear since.
And here's the pics. They kinda suck, sorry about that...

Well congratZ. Happy new owner?

At least you won't need to worry about fried hoses like you do on a TT 300zx for a very long time. Those 29 hoses all seem to go at the same time, now the Z32's are getting on in years.

Happy motoring.

Absolutely in love with the car, thanks for all the comments! I'm located in the very south east part of Ohio, Belpre/Marietta area. Absolutely nothing here, but, lots of nice twisty backroads.

Thankfully I'm right in the valley, so there's some nice hills and curvy roads in this area. Route 26 is a back way to work for me, and it has some track inspired banking in a couple areas. Very fun to drive!

I'll see if I can find some pics of the old Z waizzz, still one of the best looking cars made imo.
