I just purchased my 2004 350z three days ago. It is a 6 speed manual transmission. It is white with 19inch Ro_JA blackburn rims and it is lowered on drop springs. Under the hood it has a turbonetics kit pushing 7llbs of boost. Also, it has a kinetix intake manifold. The car runs great and looks amazing. It currently has 51,000 miles. I look forward to learning a lot here on the forum.

 

Welcome to the boards, Mike.

Hope you enjoy the new ride - post some pics!

 

welcome ......in for pixs

 

Welcome and congrats on your Z! It sounds nice. Have any pics to upload yet?

 

Here are some pics. It currently has a stock exhaust so I plan on upgrading that first then buying a UTEC and having the car dyno tuned, right now it only has the turbonetics reflash.

 

Nice! The car looks great.

 

Great looking Z! Very nice! Who are you having tune it for you?

 

I talked to a guy named Rich at 350z motorsports. He came across as very knowledgeable. So I think I will go to him. Have you heard anything about his shop?

 

Damn, nice Z.

Bienvenidos

 

Rich is the go-to guy in the Phoenix area for all things Z. He does a lot of drifting and used to be big into getting the local club involved in events. Heck of a nice guy, and has been involved with a couple of shops. Def. a reputable source. Welcome aboard. If you are into track stuff, you'll probably bump into me, too. Silver Z with gold BBS wheels from southeat of Tucson. Nice car you have there.

 

I happened to stumble across a thread on here talking about Rich and 350zmotorsports.com. From what I have read his business practices seem a little shady. I met him the other night at the pavilions car show and like I said he seemed very knowledgeable and was cool to talk with. Should I have any worries about doing business with him?

 

Rich is a honest straight shooter who I trust with my 350z needs. I think you are doing the right thing by getting to know him better. He is good about taking time to answer questions.

 

Have you tried talking to Intense? And UMS is great for tuning.

 

yep, Rich is a cool guy. PPl to know in AZ are Pete Imperially at Intense Motorsports and Cozman Ceh at Pitstop performance as well. Let them know I sent you if you make the calls... etc.

Ive never had issues w Intense other than the 45 mile drive from Scotts.. I live up here too.

 

Thanks for all the replies. I am not looking to have any work done right away, but sooner or later I will be looking to have the car tuned that and it is just nice to know the shops around here that know their stuff. I guess I will just check out the shops, right now I am just looking for a shop to buy parts from. And I would like to bounce ideas about my car off people that know these cars.

 

Rich is a cool guy, but I would get my tuning done at Intense or UMS.

From personal experience.

 

Welcome, enjoy the boards and have fun!

Ever want some entertainment you should visit the forced induction section... OMG the carnage that ensues in there.

We would be happy to give you a shop tour and help out with any questions you may have as well.

We own many many VQ world records so don't hesitate to ask!

 

Does intense do work with uprev? And nice car, i saw that one on craigslist, college kid was selling it, right? Looks like it was taken care of pretty well. Enjoy your ride.

 

This car isn't the one that was for sale on craigslist. I looked at that one but for the money I didn't think it was as clean as the one I got. They do look very similar thou and pretty close to the same setups. I got mine in Tucson. I am so far very pleased, this is probably one of the most fun cars I have owned.

 

you paid $12.5k for this?
