Default My first Z, Arizona.

This is my first Z ! Just bought my 2003 Nissan 350z Touring on March 18th, 2011. As far as performance mods go, I only have an Injen Cold Air Intake installed but I am saving up for future parts. Minor upgrades include a Nismo shift *** and as far as the exterior goes I have tinted the taillights and front reflectors. I also painted the front bumper in the center underneath the grill black. Next steps include painting the door handles black, paint factory HID headlight housings black, paint Nissan emblems black, "Fairlady Z Emblem", slam it (Coil-overs), 18" Wheels (can't decide if I want to go with Gunmetal Grey, Flat Black, or Bright Red wheels), and Megan Racing single exhaust with a bumper tuck. Then after all of that is done and I can save up I plan on going FI (TT).

Yea, there is a guy out here in AZ that did that swap and I am considering it. It will be a while before I can even afford anything like that but that will definitely be something I'll look into.

Welcome... stop by Intense Motorsports on Guadalupe n 87/Cntry Club and talk to Pete and JJ.. they will hook you up if you tell em i sent you. Even for small parts, but if youre really thinking FI, start making a relationship w a shop now. You will be asking for alot of favors..

also, you cant drive the car w that LS engine in it in AZ tho.. most of the guys who do it on daily drivers are on the east coast or widwest w no emissions checks. Otherwise its not a street legal swap. But yeah i hear ya.. id rather do that then go FI myself.

btw I have a silverstone painted subwoofer box for sale right near you if yer insterested. And cf door panels.

Thanks ! Yea, I will definitely stop in there for parts. And yea I'm pretty interested in the sub box. I sold my original set up because my box wouldn't fit into the Z. What size of sub does the box fit ? and could you send me pics of the sub box and the CF panels ?
