Default Just got me a Z!!

ok so here we go,

Im finally making my first post. Im sorta new to the site, just used to skim around for info and stuff to read into the Z.

So recently i purchased a 03 350z base, its a 5AT.... i know but its what i wanted. i kinda got tired of owning manual transmission cars, so this is my first auto tranny ca, and i can honestly say im pretty happy with it.

this is my second nissan vehicle, i previously owned a 95 240sx with an s14 blacktop sr20, which i had done a considerable amount of work on, including a bug turbo setup...

ok but back on topic, im very pleased with my Z. Ive been reading up on some little mods to do here and there, but basically im looking to keep the car very clean, im not much of a fan of big spoilers or lip kits and what not. so far i have done two very small mods to it in my spare time which include a new momo shift **** and crown royal shift boot & a home made pop charger and heat shield.




well thats her ^^

Your car is not a Base model if you have an automatic transmission. It is most likely an Enthusiast.

lol, sounds good. but honestly it not my cup of tea. i really like the clean look of some Z's and thats what i like, not a fan of tinting tails or corner lights.

but i did think of maybe the clear bumper lights, but even then im like ehhh lol.

but thanks. post some pics once ur done so i can check it out
