Hey all!
New owner of a 2003 Touring model in lemans sunset orange.
Basically all stock besides a front Greddy strut bar and greddy suspension type-s with the electronic damper controller.
Coming from a civic it's a GREAT upgrade
One thing bugging me is that i think i'm supposed to have HID lights but i SWEAR they're not...

Things on the upgrade list is audio first, rims, exhast and finally a body kit!

 

haha that is a nice upgrade nice upgrade list haha and the HID question is prolly a lie if you got it from a dealership its just stock lights im guessing and

WE NEED SOME PICS!!!

 

hmmmm fair enough, i read somewhere that all but base model 350Z's have HID's, looks like that's on the shopping list too!

Yeah pics will be here soon, just had to rent out a car park, i'm a part time photographer as well hehe.

 

Congrats on the pickup.

THanks!

Yeah i've had a look at that post, and probably will take each thing as i go.

First things first with the audio and security. Looking to spend $2.5k or so on that!

Been searching the trading forums of aussie audio sites for some good deals.

But first im guna get these HID's sorted out

 

dont quote me on this but i swore i read somewher down in the Aussie Market they never offered HIDs in any models till 06+ when they only came in HIDs. Im like 80% sure of this

 

get 06+ headlights if your going to upgrade.... THEY ARE BANGIN!!!

 

Congrats and welcome.

goo-day mate! nah jk i wish i was in australia...lucky!!

 

hehehe it's great down here!
Hmmm been researching audio, i want speakers that have a great mounting depth than the recommended 2" 7/8, i'll need to get some door pods to fit them corect?

 

Congratulations

 

Need to find time to do a proper shoot of the car, here's a quick one i did today =)

 

Hi mate!...S-w-e-e-t ride! Congrats'! Are our beaZts expensive down under?! Here they're v-e-r-y expensive, so you gotta go with used

aussie:

welcome to the site. as a 'new owner' make sure to spend at least 95% of your time in the off topic section for the next 6 months. you'll thank me later.

cheers!

 

Gidday mate. Stunning pic of your LMS dude. There are a few forums in the UK, that you can find some good mods from, very solid reliable traders too.

 

care to link?
so far planning to order the JWT Popcharger, ebay has them for arnd $200AUD delivered, then the knockoff ebay Hi-Power exhaust for $700 delivered in aus.

 

my z was originally that color but i had it re-painted ivory white.. looks mint though

 

Mine was $20,500, with just 13k on it; not a scratch on it, either! So far, the only thing I've had to do to it is substitute the driver's side power window motor ($160 for parts, with a lifetime warranty). Squeezing 2 weeks out of a tankful, too--but, then again, I live just 9.5k from work, so it makes sense. Enjoy your beaZt, Aussie! (...thanks for the "fun" comment, Kasey1...)
