Default My new 350

The paperwork is all done. The car is being picked up tomorrow as long as this place doesn't sell it out from under me.

2003 350Z base with basic upgrades:
18" Nismo LMGT4 wheels
Nismo Shift **** & pedals
aftermarket side skirts & rear lip (no front lip but nothing showing on the "AutoCheck" or CarFax regarding an accident of any kind)
car has 95k miles and picking up less than Trade In
They also put new tires on it but put 275/40s on the back and 245/40s on the front... not that big of a deal, but a hair to big on the rear.

The car gets will be in town in about 20 minutes
Pretty damn excited as I've been wanting one for awhile but never really found one that was what I wanted or was going to screw with my spending habits. lol

some other pictures from the dealer:




Ordered the Nismo front lip, debating on a CF spoiler (the slightly bigger than stock lip style) or go for a factory size. I would like to have the CF hood/hatch and possibly the roof but I'm not sure how the CF will look with the Brickyard color yet... It's still up in the air.

I'm loving them too. I've already gotten numerous compliments locally. I'm happy with my purchase. Now I just need a couple small things: passenger side compartment is missing the latch, dash "nook" won't stay shut and the previous owner took the rear speakers out. Btw, is there no traction control on the base model?

No traction control,LSD or cruise on base models...LSD can be added later..

I have a base as well and dont miss the traction control,if your used to driving a manual once you get your pedal control down and get used to the car's handling its not an issue.I thought I would miss cruise control but a 2000 mile trip to ATL made me forget all about it.

Welcome to the forum. Certainly not many Brickyard's around, being a limited run colour.

Just in case you're interested our stock bonnets are featherweight's and will more than likely weigh less than a cf one, in most cases.

I've been driving manuals since I was 14. I just wanted to make sure I didn't have to turn off the traction control every time I got in the car.

There's a small spot of surface rust on the front of the hood about the size of 2 quarters next to each other. I can get it fixed cheap, but I was just debating is all. Looking at getting the Tein Hood Supports for it some time soon as well.

Will order all new tires in a few weeks and will be selling the basically new 275/40-18 Yokohama S Drives that are on the rear. The fronts only have about 50% left. What are the width's of the 18" LMGT4s? I keep only finding the info on the 19".

Looks like the car has a billet grill, lose that ASAP. Now all you need is a bumper to go with the rest of your kit and your good to go. Congrats.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the grill. Taking it off tonight. I already ordered the Nismo front lip. It will get painted when the hood & driver's side front fender get sanded and repainted.
