Default From 03 tiburon to 350z

Just picked this up about a week ago and can't stay out of the driver's seat. I'm 21 and am have wanted one of these ever since I saw one at the 2003 indianapolis auto show. Honestly didn't plan on buying a car at all anytime soon, but the deal was too good to pass up. Got a two year warranty and free oil changes as long as I own the car, not to mention some new meats and brakes. Now, onto the pics







Already ordered a pop charger and z1 intake tube. Xo2 exhaust, dc headers, kinetix ssv im will follow for go-fast goodies. As for wheels I'm stuck on the adr m-sports but I'm not hearing good things about them so I may just spoil myself and get some volks. I fabricate stuff on the side and have some ideas already for the car. I don't want to add a-pillar gauges when I go boost but I'd like to figure something out for where the nav system should be but still keep it hidden and out of sight.

So far I've had no complaints about this car. I'm from a small town where no one has ever seen a z car so the compliments, jaw dropping, and drooling have been happening a lot. I don't plan on getting rid of this anytime soon.

Welcome, the grass doesn't just look greener over here... it is greener. Great colour to, not that I'm being biased or anything because I have a chrome silver Z

Enjoy!

That bridge was out all summer. I was lookin forward to that road opening up but I got there too late for the light. I'm still learning how to take good pics just got into the photography game. I've got an industrial site for a pic opportunity but I've just got to find the time really

I have seen people get very creative with that cubby space. You should be able to come up with something really nice.

Congrats on the car. Hope you enjoy it.

Rural warren county. Its a good pic spot when the lighting is perfect. I'll have to give that road a shot. 25 between lafayette and delphi is a good one, as well as eisenhower road in lafayette.

Just installed my pop charger and aluminum z tube. Holy *****. Not neccessarily a big gain in performance but engine sounds amazing. My little 2.7 v6 in my tiburon sounded good but this is 10x better.

No not in ohio unfortunately. They guy on the bridge was walking down the road and was trying to get out of the shot. Didn't try hard enough though

I"m thinking I'm going to go with a single exhaust. I had dual cans on my tiburon for three years and am bored with duals. Time for something new. Thinking HKS carbon-ti with a little angle.

Haha I went from a tiburon to a z aswell. Quite a nice upgrade.

Did you have the v6 or i4?
