Default from Z32 to Z33 Roadster

Hi global 350Z owners.

Quick intro. I'm from Perth, Australia. Got into the Jap car scene about 5 years ago, falling in love with Z32 300ZX's but I couldn't afford a good one at the time.

Got myself a 180sx which I loved. Sold 2 years later for a 300ZX Twin Turbo....which... I have to say, I NEVER loved. I love the cars, I just ended up with a poor example.

So rather than continue to sink money into it, I sold that and 3 weeks ago, picked up a 2008 Z33 Track Roadster.

in short, I am once again in love with a car.

It's dark blue and the previose owner was....NISSAN. THis can is stock and mint as was a dealers General managers car.

has 11,000k's on the clock (~6835.083 miles)

Recently took home highest HP trophy at a local dyno day in the NA class too. Comp was any RWD nissan, but competitors were mainly Z32's and 1 other Z33.

VERY VERY happy with the car.

I'm also trying to help a Local Aussy based 350/370z forum get off the ground but it's very quiet so I'm sure I'll be on here quite a bit.

Before anyone suggests it, no im NOT going to mod this car AT ALL.

My plan is to keep it stock. Keep it mint. Look after it. Having seen what 20 years CAN do to a car, I want to do everything in my power to make sure this 350Z comes out the other side of 20 years in MUCH better condition.

so...not that you dont know what a stock one looks like... but here's my car

Just remember, you can not make your Z33 faster than your mildly-modded Z32 TT without adding forced induction, which I also don't recommend.

Welcome... Dude I said the same thing when I bought my roadster. Nothing like dropping the top and listening to the baby roar. It starts with just a K&N, goes to a popcharger, bigger tires, little exhaust maybe and than your hooked.

Good luck with the sweet looking ride.
