I just got myself a 2005 Z and im loving it! Im pretty new to my car, i dont know very much about it, yet; i came from the Euro scene (mini cooper, vw rabbit). Feels great to be a part of a new forum

i got it used and inside came a big Sony Xplode subwoofer and a 1200W power supply, and nothing else i know of lol. i believe its a base too, but im not too sure. it doesnt have cruise control and it has cloth seats\

at first glance i see the color gray, but to be technical, is it silverstone or carbon silver?
any recommendations for a head unit?

some pics:

 

Welcome...

Congrats on the new Z

Welcome!

If your Z has buttons on the steering wheel, it must be at least a Enthusiast.

 

Welcome!!

 

Hello !

 

You color code is near the bulkhead kinda on the battery side on the little silver plate that says nissan motors corporation .... Here are the codes:http://www.courtesyparts.com/touch_u....php?cPath=714

 

Welcome!

 

Welcome. Nice Z. I think you have a Silverstone since Carbon Silver did not come out until the 2007 model year.

 

Welcome!
Any mods planned?

 

Good looking car! Welcome to the site!

 

Welcome and congratulations. From the pictures it appears you have the Enthusiast model.

 

Welcome

 

Great to inter web meet you guys!


Of course, got plenty lined up lol. But I think first will be a new head unit, got any suggestions? I had a pioneer fx700 on my dub, but I'm considering one with a full screen

Then coils sways brakes rotors wheels. You know, the usual


Excuse my nubness, but what do you notice in the pics that tell you it's an enthusiast?

 

Oh dang, I got no buttons on the wheel lol

 

I was just taking a guess by looking at your wheels. It is either a Base or Enthusiast model.

Model Breakdown (2003-2004.5):

Base: 3.5L V6 with 287hp/274 ft-lbs of tq., 17" rims. Only available in 6-speed MT. No VLSD, cruise control.

Enthusiast: Added Cruise Control, HID headlights, Aluminum pedals, Auto-dimming rearview mirror, VLSD, and TCS. Available in either 6-speed MT or 5-speed AT.

Performance: Adds VDC , 18" rims (18"x8" all around). Only available with 6-speed MT.

Touring: Adds Leather seats w/ power adjust-ability, Bose sound system, and optional DVD Navigation. Available in either 6-speed MT or 5-speed AT.

Track: Adds 18" Rays Track Rims (18"x8" front, 18"x8.5" rear, approx. 18.3 lbs per rim), Brembo Big Brake Kit, underbody aero kit w/ rear hatch spoiler. Only available in 6-speed MT.

Please note all automatic models Enthusiast up only had TCS, no VDC.

 

Thanks for the breakdown verdict. I don't have any buttons on my steering wheels so I think its same to presume my z is the base model

 

There is nothing wrong with the Base model. It is the lightest and therefore the fastest of the Z's. I've had my Base for about 10 1/2 years and am very happy with it.

 

I like the base model! Opens a lot of room for modding
