Hi all I have been interested in buying a 350z for years and I finally found an enthusiast model at a good price so I decided to jump on it. Its a 2004 6-speed, 50,000 miles, redline Z. Just drove her home from the dealership with a big grin on my face!

I snapped these pics with my iphone for now next to my other car (a 2002 Lancer)






I am pretty excited about the purchase and can't wait to start modding!

Will all of the excitement I do have a few questions before I start making some decisions. While I do enjoy the look of the Z stock I was looking into buying a body/lip kit. Has anyone bought the nismo lip kit from ebay?

That looks like a good deal, although it will need to be primed and painted, but wanted to know if anyone had any experience with that kit? I was also searching on the forums extensively and it looks like I will be buying the Tein s-techs to lower it a little. These seem to be the best functional and economical choice for me.

I am also looking into buying nismo LMGT4 rims to finish it all off. I am really excited and have a good plan of what I want with mods and such, but any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

 

Nice choice! CongratZ!!
Re. the ebay body kit, I encourage you to hold off buying anything until you have thoroughly researched it. I've read stories who bought low-priced kits and they were pieces of junk i.e poor fitment, quality, etc. I know the urge to jump in a start buying "upgrades" but do your homework first.
Be sure to check out www.gatewayzclub.com and www.bransonzfest.com coming in June.

 

Welcome and congratulations on your Z. You might want to consider joining the Gateway Z Club. They have monthly meetings and lots of activities. It's a good group of people.

 

congrats

 

Welcome to the forum, word of advice beware of body kits from ebay fitment is horrible.Check the forum classified. Good luck with modding.

 

nice congrats

 

Congratulations!

 

Congrats. Have the same redline enthusiast but an 07

 

Awesome, thanks for all the comments and thanks for the links to the STL clubs, I will probably be joining!

Also, could someone give me a link to a popular store you Z owners buy your stuff from? Like rims, bodykits, and such. I have found a few already but just wanted to know if some are betters than others

 

Welcome! Looks sharp-

 

hey man im in St. Louis as well, if you don't mind how much did you get this for? because I am looking at one that has almost exactly the same stats.

 

nice find! welcome aboard.

for kits in general, doesn't matter what car it's going on, i would stay clear from ebay. check the classifieds on here and look into some site vendors. springs work for a great first mod. GL with the new purchase
