Default Oh hai guys

Here's the new Z, 03 touring

Oh hai guys-gymbnjk.jpg

I know many people on this board don't like the headlights, but they've definitely grown on me and look much better in person






I used to drive this: 06 Altima SE-R (sleeper, I loved it but had double the miles the Z had and I sold at the same price)



Liking the info on this board and way more exciting than Altima boards lol mods soon to come in the next week: Invidia Gemini exhuast & TP

To me those lights make the car look girly with the leds running across like eye lashes. Prob would have looked better along the bottom.

Altimas drive like slobs no matter the trim level, enjoy the zed.

You must be nuts, the Altima SE-R was a pretty awesome car.

Yeah I thought so at first too, but man in person it's muy bueno. I love it when people turn heads and I'm assuming it's because of the headlights since there's no mods other than a CAI

It was indeed I loved the damn thing, honestly it kept up with Z's and whenever I'd race mustangs they were always just like "wtf how is that boat beating me". Plus FWD is ftw in snowy conditions


Thanks for the love guys!

Yeah apparently the guy said there were about 30-40 offers but no one committed. It was a steal!

Small plans for now... plenum (can't decide between the spacer or kinetix v+), exhaust, TP, maybe bumper tuck, rims if I can get the $$, carbon fiber lip MINEs version if they sell that still

In a year or so if I have $$ (stupid college taking up my Z's money) definitely going F/I. Probably only a single turbo from turbonetics or aps. Clutch and ecu/tune of course

I told my homie to jump on it... but he's trying to find gold for dirt price. I said he has to commit to something he likes... He's all over... MR2s from the late 80s to MX5s from the late 90s. He is shopping by price, not my car

Sounds like you got big dreams. BEST mod you can do is pay it off if you haven't already.

Life ALWAYS happens. I took my 60 month car note and paid it off in 34 or less(was SUPPOSED to be paid off in under 12, but like I said-Life happens.)

Good luck with your build. Ask advice on anything, AFTER you search!

I felt like this was gold for cheap, with the condition and miles, $12k was a steal, I sold the altima with 100k miles for the same price haha one of my buddies is the same way, but if you don't narrow your choices you'll never find one.

I paid it in straight cash, which was sketchy since I had to go on a plane to somewhere near the mexican border, I thought the TSA would question me... but they didn't

Thank you man and of course! Not my first forum haha some users on nissanclub are really bad about that

Nice Z. Love the color, don't mind the lights, and ditch the plasti-dipped(?) emblem. That's just an opinion of course. I think de-badging or OEM looks better.
