First Time Z Owner
Hi everyone! Just another newbie checking in here. I've browsed around the site here and it seems like a great community with a lot of knowledge and tech to read up on. I can tell it'll be a big help for me since this is my first Nissan.
As you can tell from my handle, I've been a Honda guy for a few years. Originally I wanted an S2000 to be my new whip, but after driving a few Zs, I feel like you get a bit more all around out of the box from them.
Anyways, I found this one at a local dealership. The local Ford dealership had it stashed on their used lot and I just happened to find it in an online listing. Seeing it in person just once pretty much sealed the deal for me. It's a 2005 base with flawless, pearly white paint. It's been garage kept most of its life by the previous owner, or so the dealer told me, but I believe it.
From a performance standpoint, the car is bone stock aside from a Fujibutso Legalis-R exhaust system which sounds amazing yet very OEM-ish. (I've read online that it's a Nismo twin, correct me if I'm wrong) and a Mishimoto radiator/fan setup. Dark-tinted markers, white HIDs, and some light tint on the windows are the only other mods I can find on it.
I've installed a Kenwood double din and a slim-boxed Kicker Comp sub which fits nicely in the back without taking up much space. I was pleasantly surprised to find pre-wired sub/amp wires already stashed and hooked up. The previous owner really took care of this car from what I've seen so far. It even smells brand spankin' new on the inside.
I also threw on a Still Hood **** because I'm just that kind of hipster I guess.
Here are a few snaps. Iphone/Facebook quality might not be the best. In the future I'll try to have better ones.

Thanks everyone! Believe it or not, she's a little over 120k on the mileage! You wouldn't know it with how immaculate it is, inside and out. It surprises most people.
The Fairlady emblem was on it already. I might or might not take it off, I kind of like the way it looks. The dice are just sort of a sentimental thing from my last car. =P
For now, I don't have major plans for it, just small cosmetics and picking up some wheels/suspension over winter time. I'm an OEM+ kind of guy.

Im assuming the dice came out of your honda. Let them be sentimental in your glove box or something. lol nice looking car though! Just take your time reasearching stuff on this site.
Keep the Fairlady on if you like it, dont worry about what others think, I will be changing to that emblem soon myself.Yes, its not a Fairlady but its my Z..same goes for the dice.
PPW,DB, and SO are my favorite Z colors, I searched long and hard for PPW that was clean and low mileage.
Welcome and enjoy!!
