Default New Z owner in NC

Whats up guys?
I just bought an orange 2005 350Z Enthusiast and just thought I would start a thread introducing myself. My name is Kevin, I am currently in the US Air Force stationed at Seymour Johnson AFB in Goldsboro, NC. The only pic I have right now is where it was on the showroom floor of the dealership I got it from.

Right now it has drilled/slotted rotors and a riced out exhaust from the previous owner. The exhaust sounds awesome, the cans are just angled outward so I really don't like it. I think I'm gonna replace it with either a HKS or a Motordyne TD. I'm also about to get a clutch/ lightweight flywheel/ braided clutch line because the clutch that's in it seems like it's about to go out. I don't really have anything else right now, more pics to come later guys!

P.S. I can take whatever you guys have to say, so please LMK what you think.

Looks good. I dont know how a "riced out exhaust from the previous owner" sounds "awesome" but good luck getting what you want! Check the marketplace classifieds for crazy good deals on anything you want!


Oh yea, welcome to the forum!

The cans are just angled outwards, and I like the straight out look better. That's what I mean by riced out exhaust.

Congrats and welcome from a fellow Carolina Z!


I travel through your area for work a lot, so I'll keep any eye out for you when I'm nearby.

Good luck picking the right exhaust. There is a lot of great information on these forums if you use "Search"

damn man everyone is getting Z's in this base... "sigh". btw i saw your car today with the dealer tags. exhaust you have is invidia n1 or a knockoff of it. it does sound nice but it's ugly as hell. Good call with the hks or motordyne. Mod it right, dont be cheap and buy cheap **** on this car like all the Z's in this base. All the Z's in here are ugly as hell

heres a pic of my car btw, or what it used to look like. It's a different color now with different wheels. See ya around

Toby's car is insane. I think my wife had a mini-O when I showed that picture to her last night.

I am bored so I figured I would show you guys what I traded in to get the Z. Hopefully I can wash the Z tomorrow and get some decent pics up of it.

Yea man, definetly a major upgrade. I liked the eclipse a lot after I put the coilovers and 18's on it, but nowhere near as much as I LOVE this Z.
