I bought a 2005 Ultra Yellow Metallic 350Z about 3 weeks ago and I really love the car more then the other cars I previously owned. I have owned 2 S2000's and 2 STI's. Don't get me wrong, both those cars are amazing in their own ways

My Z is pretty stock other then the powder coated wheels and a Mishimoto Carbon Fiber intake that the car came with.

I wasn't too much of a fan of the yellow, but it grew on me the more I saw it. Now its my favorite color for the Z's.

I'm not sure if i am going to pay the car off and then start modifying it, or just do it all at the same time. I come from an auto cross back ground and am not worried about going fast in a straight line lol

Here are a couple of pictures of the car. Some are from a local car show and the others are on the lake near my house. Hope everyone enjoys....

Welcome to the board!

 

yellow mellow! welcome 'to to' forum fellow Washingtonian :]

 

welcome and congrats

 

Welcome & Congrats!

 

Thanks a lot everyone for the welcome I have been searching this forum like crazy for the past few hours and have found some great threads.


Hey Duckeee
do you know anywhere in WA that sells NISMO parts or any after market parts for our Z's? I'm over here in Spokane stationed at Fairchild AFB and we have nothing this way. Let me know.

 

Unfortunately I don't. One of our service guys at my work used to work at Nissan. I asked him if he can get me a discount on Nismo intakes from his good buddy who still works at Nissan, and he said Nismo parts are no longer being distributed to their Nissan dealership. Not sure if that applies to all Dealers.

That being said, I also don't know any on top of my head besides horsepowerfreaks. Most of the stuff I buy are online.

You can certainly find great deals from vendors online as well as the private classifieds as well.

 

Welcome and congrats!

 

Welcome and congrads, I hope you enjoy the new car. If you have any pics of your pervious cars post them up.

 

welcome to the forum, mishimoto intake looks nice!

 

+1

 

If you need Nismo parts I would hit up Adam @ Z1Auto.com

 

I also looked at a yellow Z during daylight and was not impressed. Then I looked at yellow at night and said I have got to go with yellow! Nice choice.

 

nice! welcome!

 

Here are some pics for you and everyone else:

2000 RSTI boosted- way too many mods to list. Had ~$12k of suspension, ~$12k motor, exhaust etc. It was mainly built for auto cross, but could do a solid 12.7 1/4 mile if I wanted to go in a straight line.


2003 AP1 S2000 N/A w/AP2 front/rear bumpers and lights. Mugen CF hood, Full internals, H/E/I etc, RGII 17x9 wheels, R1 compound slicks, Ksport Coilovers, sways F/R, VAFC II, tuned at 218rwhp/ 187 Tq if i remember correctly. 13.2-13.6 1/4 mile. This car won "Best sounding exhaust" at Imports vs. Domestics out of ~200+cars.


2000 Jeep Wrangler-this is the most odd vehicle i have owned. I actually sold my RSTI and bought this for the weather up here in WA, but then sold this to buy the 350Z This had 33's, 15x10 procomp rockcrawlers, 4.56 gears, tatton custom driveshaft SYE/CV, T-case drop, 4" stage 2 procomp lift, JKS quick discos, hardtop/soft top, 12" sub w/ upgraded system, hijack etc..


2006 LBP S2000-Stock (I was gone doing training for the Air Force practically the whole time I had it and only put 2600 miles on it).


2005 STI-This picture was when it was pretty stock. I don't have any others though APS FMIC, APS 3" TBE, APS intake, APS turbo, Full suspension etc. 18 psi daily.


Hope you all like my previous cars. We all have our different taste so I am sure some will not like my AP1 s2k with the gold RGII on SSM. Thanks for looking.

 

Thats how i was too. At night they look amazing and at certain angles that the sun hits it. Your car is beautiful man. WOW! 370z looks amazing in our color.

 

Congrats. Welcome to the forum.

 

welcome! sexy ride you got there
