New owner of 03 APS TT
I just traded 03 Evo with 2.3 stroker and GT35R with 03 Enthusiast APS TT with built block. So far, I wasn't able to drive it much but I'm very happy with the car. It is extremely well taken care of, and the previous owner put extreme amount of attention into details.
Contrary to those two cars' looks, I have to say 350Z is much more comfortable to drive around town, which is part of a reason why I traded for the Z. Evo was a lot of fun and it was fast as hell(it's probably faster than my 350Z out on a road course AND straight lines), however it is not really a car for cruising around in. I ended up not driving the Evo unless I go out for a run late at night, which is the reason that I decided that I need a different car.
Anyway, I used to own a G35 Coupe 6MT a few years ago so I'm somewhat familiar with the Z. I used to post here time to time so as well. It's nice to be back in the VQ35 community and I hope to stay here for... longer than I did with any other cars that I've owned... haha.
Pics are posted few posts down.
Now for the brief summary of specs:
APS TT
GTM Stage 0 block
HKS F-Con with navigator, knock amp, wideband
009 transmission swap
Nismo Super Coppermix twin clutch
Nismo S-tune suspension
Stoptech BBK
Volk LE-37 19" wheels
Defi gauges
Shine Amuse front with diffuser
Nismo sides
Central rear bumper
Full sound system
and many more...

^ Thanks!! Sadly, I don't have any pics of my old G but I do have pics of 350Z and Evo 
350Z First. These are all I have from now. Taken by previous owner. I'll take some new ones and post up.

Pics of my Evo that I traded for the Z...
2.3L Stroker, Turbotrix race head, GT35R, built tranny, built T-case, front LSD, Ohlins/WORKS coilovers, AEM EMS, etc... around 480awhp on pump and 570awhp on pump + meth injection... yep, it was faster than my new Z which is putting down around 430rwhp right now, detuned from 450rwhp for daily driving.

Welcome back to the VQ35 family. The previous owner did some tasteful mods to the car. Looking good!

Thanks, guys.
I haven't driven the Z enough to compare it to G35, but they feel very similar. I think I like the Z more for now due to it being a bit more compact than G35C and feeling more directly involved, but that might be from my mods.

Thank you, guys I can't wait until spring so I can really start to enjoy this amazing car. So far, I love it! I just dropped it off at a shop to check the car over throughly and do some maintenance work along with retune of F-CON. I'm going for a really safe tune with improved response. I'm just shooting for 400rwhp, as I don't think more is necessary on the street, and I think 400rwhp is more than handful at my skill levels. I've been past that power-hungry state of my life and have realized too much power actually ruins the fun. Anyway, I can't wait until I get it back.
