Default Bought a new Z last weekend!

Hey guys my name is Richard and I'm from Mobile AL. I have been floating around the site for years but have not really posted alot. I had a 2003 Enthusiast in 06 and sold it because I dipped into the minitruck world for the past few years. I started missing that Z feel and put my X Runner up for sale a few months ago and came across a one owner 2006 Silverstone Enthusiast. It had 26k miles on it and was in pretty immaculate condition. I thought about it for a few weeks and jumped on it. I have been reading up on the forums and learning everything i can about wheels and the suspension setups people are running. I love slammed, mild, everything really but I think im going to get a stance GR+ setup and all the goodies with it, im still trying to decide on wheels but it will be something with a nasty lip December 8th is the ordering date for all my parts so hopefully by then I will have a list of everything I need. Body/Interior/sound will probably be left mostly stock i like things to be simple and clean. I cant wait to get to know people on the site and hopefully hit up a few meets!

Welcome back to the Z! December 8th is your parts ordering date? Are you ordering them specifically for my birthday, or just coincidence? hahaha, I'll make my list and get it to ya.

Thanks everyone! I was stoked about the mileage thats one of the main reasons i jumped on it. The salesman that sold it to me took the car in on trade and said it was an older couple that just took it out on weekends and such. Noquestion It is just a coincidence, BUT im glad i can make your birthday exciting haha. From what i've read the nerve wracking part will be the months I sit waiting for the wheels to arrive !

I know this is off site topic but this is what I came from, HUGE difference and the only reason I chose an auto was because the clutch in this truck gave me such problems. I've never had to work on something so much and never seen a clutch disk rip in half from regular driving.

Are you certain that 2006 is an Enthusiast model? The interior looks to me like a Touring..................You may have gotten a better deal than you thought.

korner I have the original window sticker it was in the glove box, and im almost positive it said touring i know the original price was over 37k. For some reason when they typed in my vin SOMEWHERE i saw enthusiast pop up so I thought I was wrong. I've never seen these wheels before either. What was the difference between the two?

If your window sticker was $37K, I can assure you the car is a Touring. You have the Bose stereo, navigation, and leather seats (I assume heated and power). None of these items came on the Enthusiast. The wheels are the optional Nissan chrome wheels.

Very nice! I love the burnt orange seats!

In the manual cars they've got the matching shift boot and ****, which are ugly as sin.

Nice Z OP. TPete -- In the manual cars, unfortunately the shift boot and **** in manual cars are black. I know because that's what I have.
