Default New Z owner

I just bought an 08 Z. It's dark gray with leather. 45K miles. I pick it up next week. As soon as I made the deal, I turned my Paypal account upside-down and emptied it out. So far I have a set of 370Z sport 19" wheels, a 25mm spacer for the front, and 370Z lug nuts. I also just got a Fujitsubo Legalis R exhaust. I can't wait to get these parts installed. I still have my Uprev cable left over from my Titan, so a little dyno time is coming also. I have stumbled across some very informative threads so far that helped me decide on wheels and exhaust. Very exciting.

Update:
Got the HPS intake tubes and AFE dry filters installed, and hit the track. I know the driver sucks, I heard it all night. Ha ha. But I got some pretty consistent numbers. The car is bone stock except for the tubes and filters.

I installed my Fujitsubo exhaust and wheel spacers. 20mm Front and 25mm Rear. I would have the BC Racing coilovers installed too, but the wrong set got shipped. They are for a 370Z.





After shots will be coming shortly.

Nice car, I have an 07 in currently doing a bunch of installs on. I'm also doing a tune using an Osiris UpREV. I'm going to keep an eye on this and see who makes more power from our vary simular mods.

Thanks man.

My performance mods are going to be on the back-burner for a month or two. I have an audio appointment next. I'm getting Nav, components, back-up cam, alarm w/remote start, and a hard-wired radar detector.

Then I'll be back on track with Motordyne Test and resonated Y-pipes, and eventually an Uprev tune. Im still not sure on headers though. I still have a lot of reading to do.

Update on the BC Racing Coilovers:

I spoke with BC regarding the mixup, and they immediately emailed me a postage-paid return shipping label. Once they receive the 370Z coilovers, they will ship me the Correct 350Z ones. It set me back about 2 weeks, but "no harm, no foul". It happens sometimes when buying parts on the Internet. I am happy with the way they handled it.
