Default New guy

Hey guys I'm new to the z and site, My names Ian I'm 18 and I promise I'm not some douche teen who's parents bought him a $20,000 350z. I live in kansas, i've been into cars my whole life and my dad recently passed away from Alzheimer's. my mom let me and my brothers spend 10,000 on any car we wanted so I went after my dream car now I got it. It's a 04 ppw no mods yet just some big *** woofers but I plan to do k&n intake, unichip, xxr 527 gunmetal gray, plenum spacer and exhaust

Welcome. Stay away from unichip. Go with uprev for your tuning software.

Please tell me you didn't pay 10k for an 04 64k mileage Z. BTW, sry for your loss, but I'm guessing your dad would have kicked your @$$ for spending 10K on that car.

Lightweight 18" wheels (e.g. Track V1's), and a set of OEM Brembo's.

Welcome to the forum

You are going to hate those subs.
2 of those monsters behind your head in the small space of the Z...pointless.

keep the stock exhaust on and buy High Flow Catalytic converters instead.
along with an intake and plenum spacer.

But you wont need anymore power. So I wouldnt even bother.

Ill tell you what people told me being a teen...DONT PUSH IT.
unless you like learning the hard way

That's not a bad price for a z with low miles. 10k for that is a steal. There are many in my area from private sellers with 100k going for 8.5k.

His z probably books for 11k. So it's a good deal hands down. You only live once I'm sure his dad would love to drive it, I know my dad has a blast in mine.
