Well good morning ladies and gentleman i have taken the last few days to "Lurk" on the forums and i have decided it is time for me to introduce my self I am the new proud owner of a 2008 350z with 59k miles on it. 6MT too No "barbie box" here
I feel like I'm 16 again buying my first car but this is completely different at the same time i am deployed and my lovely wife has helped me in purchasing this beautiful vehicle from thousands of miles away.
So as far as upgrades done to the vehicle i have been told that it has
Full Cat back "invidia" exhaust
dual Cold air intake
10in. back 8.5in. front tires
Aftermarket alarm (not sure of the brand)
and two 10" Rockford amps
The vehicle is lowered (not sure on what or how but the wife already bottomed out twice )
I plan on checking this site all the time now there is so many good ideas and helpful articles already learned a lot about my car before i have even touched it when it comes to adding to this vehicle i only really want to add a front lip, Black headlight housing, and maybe some headlight eyelids. (what do y'all think)
I Do have one question though the "nisimo" on the engine "cover" does that mean I have a Nisimo edition or did they just replace the engine cover with the NISIMO cover

 

they just put a sticker and intakes on it, if it was nismo you would have a full body kit, seam welded chassis, yamaha dampners, brembos, etc. regardless you have a nice car

 

Looks nice. Congrats and welcome!!

 

Is Nisimo the Dollar Store version of Nismo?

Jp. Fyi Nismo=NISsan MOtorsports.

And no, as mentioned you don't have a Nismo. I would add a nice lip and look into the different mods to open your headlights. Do NOT get some ebay spider eye looking crap for those highly sought after headlights. I would stray away from eyelids as they look cheap on Zs in my opinion, but its your car. Looks like you got a nice stereo set up as well as some performance goodies.

Thank you for your service....what branch? Guessing Army based on the trunk..

Tell your wife ANGLE over bumps and slow down SpeedRacer!

Welcome to the board!

 

Your car looks nice and welcome!

 

Nice car--enjoy!

 

Welcome onboard!

I have an '8 as well, which I bought about 11 months ago; just not as cool-looking as yours

 

Yeah it is the dollar store haven't ya heard I'm new to this and I already knew that.

Yes army Hawaii living the lavish life lol I am worried I'm gonna get sand all over the inside of this bad boy

And headlights I'm no eBay here if I do decide to move forward with the black housing I'll do it my self I read the DIY while I was "lurking" and the lip I can't seem to find one I really like deff. Do not wanna do a NISMO replica but can't find one that is passive aggressive if that makes any sense I want a mean look that hug the ground but I don't want it to take away from the "clean" look of the car not new to the fourm world use to be involved in the integra forums so i kinda know my way around which bungs me to my next point I had a slammed 96 integra so I know my wife knows how to drive a lowered vehicle she's already trying to convince me to raise it but I love how it looks

To everyone thank you for the warm welcome I have so much time on my hands I'll be checking this fourm all the time I have so much free time

 

you may not like it, some do some dont.... but i got the stillen splitter, nice and subtle but changes the look

Welcome and congratulations!

 

I like the lip but I'm not sure if id like the brackets but yes thats kinda what i want small but enough to change the look of the vehicle

is it possible to have the "splitter" without the turnbuckles?

 

i would think you can, they dont do much. i have them on mine and they dont look bad.... if you dont like the silver, rattle can them black

 

Why didn't i think about that. but you have them on your Z and you like it i guess I'm gonna have to dive into your post to try to find a picture of yours and see if i like it.

 

Looks good. Tires are a too stretched but regardless it's a nice Z

 

Stretched?? like you think the rims are too big
i guess i just don't understand what your saying can somebody explain this to the "new guy"

 

you need a wider tire so that the shoulder of it isnt slanted in to the tread

 

OH ok well thats gonna have to wait, well more like i think I'm going make it wait. the individual i purchased the vehicle from bought the new tires 2 weeks before he sold it. so those tires are pretty much brand new

 

Welcome - nice looking Z.

Really like those wheels.


How much did u pay for it, if u don't mind?

 

I don't mind at all 16500 I think I might have paid a little too much but cars in Hawaii are all expensive is or did I do ok?
And to add a question are stretched tires a bad thing? did some research and found a lot of people "stretch" their tires for looks saw a thread on here about stretched tires and aggressive something

 

Making me really miss my black 08. Go away winter!!!

Nice car dude. Congrats on the purchase
