Happy Zedding. Although you will have to watch where you park, lol, and the width of the car, means you have to be a bit more selective of parks too.

i forgot i even made this thread over a year ago and never posted a single pic of my Z.

things i've done since then.

nismo cat-back
jwt popcharger
25mm spacer front
38mm spacer rear
BFG KDW2's
Stance GR+


bought eibach sportlines prior to the GR+ and rode on those for 3 months. HATED myself for even throwing them on. for those who have had coilovers on past cars...you will most likely want to go this route with your Z. as with everything, do it right the 1st time...or don't do it at all.

anyways. i'll update with more pics once i get home.

buddy testing out his new camera:


removed rear mudflaps. i think it looks a bit better. has some scratches on the bumper that won't buff out...so...i might throw them back on. lol

^ nice rsx.

I was debating whether or not to go with the s2k or Z.

i'm glad i made the choice i did though. s2k's just wasn't for me.

why did you make the switch? i have friends that say they would never make the move b/c its a "drivers" car. LOL

Sorry took so long to respond, works been hell. I actually had 2 s2k's (01 then a 04). I LOVED it when I was 22 years old, liked it allot when I was 25, now 28 (8 years military, 3 deployments now with every back/knee pain you can imagine) I wanted something more comfortable, you would be suprised how much life changes when you can finally move your steering wheel! I am 6'1 and 200 pounds also, so the Z just "fit" me better. More quite on the highway (which I cant believe I am saying this, but it actually kind of matters to me now) and having usable low end torque is nice as well. I loved my S2k, and wouldn't take back owning one, especially spring/fall time when you can keep the top off most days. But I wanted to have something a little more comfortable, around the same mpg, and was not ready to give up the ghost and retire to a lux sedan, so the 350z was my choice. Plus, I wanted to keep a 2 seater.
