Very refreshing to see a young owner who pulls his own weight. Congrats on the build and good luck in the future.

wow, that sucks man... Hopefully after a little while your parents will get used to the idea of you driving and not restrict you. Are you the first in your family to start driving? If so that's probably why, sometimes it's hard for parents to let go especially if it's a new experience for them.

yeah, don't rush it man. it's a powerful car that demands respect, especially if you don't have a lot of seat time behind the wheel.

btw, LOOKING GOOD! if you have the resources (which you obviously do), then why not paint the whole car? that thing will look brand new...

You're lucky, that your parents actually give a damn. Perhaps if more parents did our world might be a better place. Best to take your time before being let loose too much. And I mean that in the nicest possible way.

Z is looking fantastic by the way! It's so cool to see the progress happening so quickly, you're obviously quite a motivated guy.

Oh I'm motivated and yeah I'm glad they do I just... Honestly and obviously wanna get out some haha.

UPDATE!

The new wheel came in today, started sanding the new paint with 1500 and buffed all but the hatch. SLICK AS GLASS! And I ordered some new rear tires and they will be in tomorrow.

All the way in the back above the exhaust. Its like crushed up and partly straightened out. Owner before me did it. And you cant see it in the picture but there is a small dent in between the wheel well and the cab in the bed as well

you can see it a little bit better here.



Im in pasadena MD

Hello, just another Bostonian signing up today and hoping to meet new faces and enjoy my time here; even making some new 350z friends. I just brought a manual 05 base silver 350z yesterday and right now still loving everything about it. I used to have a 93 300zx red but trade that in for a Mugen Si *facepalm* but after 6 months owning it, I just couldn't enjoy it cause it - so boring to drive. Then I said screw this and went out and got a Z which I always wanted to enjoy because it suit me and what it's what I really love. Me and my wife love this car and will keep on enjoying it. Stock at the moment but later on I will upgrade it little by little. Thank you in advance and love to see more events in Mass for Nissan family.

Not trying to be a jerk, but you should make a new thread over the new owners section instead of posting it here
