Default just picked up an 05 z coupe

Well I'm the proud new owner of a 2005 350z coupe its pearl white 6 speed. I. Started checking it out and I believe it has aftermarket sway bars because they are red and all the other z's I checked out didn't have colored sway bars. I plan on installing some coilovers pretty soon also looking into buying some wheels soon. this isn't my first Nissan I've convered over from the 240sx scene.

Looks like the previous owner also deleted the stock resonator and added a straight pipe instead.

Default Welcome!


Howdy!

She looks really nice and clean. Congrats & welcome to the forums.

Sorry to hear that the 240 is no more, but I'm sure that you'll have enough fun modding the 350 to make it worth it. Plus you can't ride two horses with one a**.

Well I still have one 240 left but its my long term v8 drift car project but I'm thinking about selling it to buy wheels and coilovers for the z and just drift the z every once in awhile

Trust me it theres nothing to be jealous about it just a rolling shell that's been 5 lug converted has z32 brakes and some basic suspension links I don't even have the engine ****ed out for it yet I'm debating on keeping it all Nissan and throwing in a vk56 Titan motor or just gone the normal lsx route since there's a bunch of parts out there for it
