What's up guys, this post is a little late but better late than never, right?!

After lusting for one since they came out (13 years old), I finally got one ten years later

i'd been scouring craigslist for months, having come up with enough cash to buy an older, higher mileage Z straight up. Then in early July I found an 05 Touring on eBay with only 45,000 miles that I fell in love with, and decided just for kicks to see what kind of APR i could get from my credit union. The next day I was mailing everything over, from California all the way to Ohio!!

After that it took about two weeks to get the car delivered to my door. Felt more like 2 years. It's an absolute thrill to drive! Spending $70 every week at the pump doesn't even bother me in the slightest.

Car was bone stock when I'd got it and first I planned on keeping it that way but the more I lurked around the forum the more I wanted to customize it.

This community has been an enormous help already. I've had to change the hatch shocks, replace a headlight bulb, and I also hooked up an aftermarket stereo and sub (was highly dissapointed with the bose system).

Next on the list was to lower it. I got sportlines from the martketplace and some d-specs from eBay. Found a real cool shop yesterday and it's finally lowered! I LOVE the way it looks now and next on the list is some 19's with most likely +12 offset
