Default Hello from Socal :)

Hello all, I just recently bought an 07 Carbon Silver Enthusiast 350z like 2 days ago. I'm planning to keep this car for a while until I'm done with school so I hope I can learn as much as I can from all the members here.
My first car was an 06 RSX-S, I bought it in 06, drive it for a year, love it but figured it's time to move to something else a little faster, so I ended up buying an 07 STi a year later, and couldn't be any happier, unfortunately I was doing pretty bad in school, so I finally decided to sell the STi and promise myself that I will be back to the car scene as soon as I put my **** together lol, bought it in 07 and sold it in 09, since then I just use my family's cars until few months ago I finally decided to get back to the game and was having a hard time to choose between 350z and s2000, but then ended up with the Z and I'm glad that I made this decision, however, I don't have pics of the Z yet, but here are few pics from my previous cars ill try to take some pics of the z as soon as i have some free time






Finally got a picture of my Z, sorry for the quality, I took it from my iphone.

How do you like the Z compared to the STi? I always enjoyed driving an STi more than the Z, but just couldn't get over the 4door design enough to buy one. The Z is so much prettier and sadly i'm a bit superficial when it comes to cars :P

it's pretty hard for me to do some judgements at this moment, as far as i can tell you, they're two totally diff toys, should i buy another sti? definitely, but mayb after im done with school wen i get a stable job so i can make it become my track/project car. n another thing i noticed so far is that "chicks" dig Z

another thing i wanna ask you guys, i brought the car to nissan dealer n have them to do the inspection before i bought the car, everything is fine, except for one thing, it's "fluid leak from between engine & transmission/bell housing area. (possible clutch slave cylinder)" (that's what it said on the paper)
does it happen normally for 07 z? is it serious? how much they usually cost to fix it?


nvm, just found out it's a part of the recall for 07
