Default Hello all from NC!!

Hey guys just bought me a 2003 Z33 and I love it! It's nothing special just a base model with some good mods the P.O. already installed for me!! lol I am an automotive technician for Nissan and Honda. I love the simplicity of working on a Honda but the awesome power of a Nissan. I have owned a Z31 for over 8 years which I have put a lot of work into. The Z33 has some gremlins to iron out but nothing major. She is a base model with a 6 speed. The P.O. put a few mods on like an HKS catback system, Jim Wolf Tech. CAI, Skunk2 lowering springs, and ruff racing 20" wheels (at first I was unsure of the wheels but I like them) a tad too big IMO. lol Overall I'm a chill dude who loves working on cars and having a good laugh. I hope you all like both my Z's after I get my Z31's digi dash back online I am going to sell her so if you're in the market hit me up.

Here is a few pics of my Z33 didnt have much time to take pics will post more later:

Before she was UCI'd and very dirty....







After a good wash before she gets a coat of wax



Here is a link to my Z31 I have yet to found a Z31 in my area as clean and original as mine paint and interior is original gotta love the 80's lol

Hope you guys like both of them!

Welcome!
I'd lose the grille.
Wheels border on what the brothers would have on a Crown Vic.
Too big for a Z.

I don't usually like the huge clown wheels either, but I really like those on this car. The lowering helped to make it flush. Very good looking Z. Congrats and welcome to the forum!!

Welcome and congrats. The wheels aren't for everyone's tastes but they are done right.

I wouldn't be bold enough to put those on a car but I agree they did it well. I hate it when you see wheels that have tires stretched on them. IMO it's a waste of space why not fill it with rubber for more traction.

Thanks for the welcome guys!

Your Z33 looks good. Ruff Racing wheels are good. Although what's the ride like with those low profile tyres?

Enjoy Z number two. Not all that many Z31's left around now, well in comparison to say the later model Z32.

Thanks! It rides fine going down the road but if a bump comes up BAM! it hits it hard. Yeah I see a few around my area 90% are rusted up and abused looking.
