Default New owner 07 350z

Hey guys, long time reader, first time member and first post. I have been a big fan of Nissan for years and purchased some stepping stones to the Z in the past (altima, maxima) but now that i can finally afford the insurance rates so almost a month ago i went out and bought myself a used z. Dont get me wrong im not made of money so i went with a bit higher mileage, it has 93xxx on it at the moment. Its a 6 speed with a clutchmaster stage 4 put on by the original owner (idk why he did because it has no performance mods that would require a clutch like that) but i also learned stick on this car which made things a bit more difficult with the stage 4 but iv got it down and its still barely broken in. The car was also slammed on some coils when i bought it which really attracted me to it. I have xxr 526 rims, i modified (dipped) the bottom lip in the front on the grill to give it almost a GTR type grill (dream car, the Z is a stepping stone to GTR for me) resonator is deleted to give me a bit of an exhaust note while I save up for an aftermarket, i have 2 12s in a custom sealed box (kicker comp r's, with a pioneer amp) kenwood head unit. The car has a ding or two here and there but over all breaks necks, Iv never gone to mcdonalds and been told "sweet ride" or "sick wheels" by every window in the drive through. also she picks up like nothing iv driven before, every excuse i get to drive it works for me, only down side is being a novice driver i get poor mpg. let me know what you guys think.

very nice. I too see the Z as a stepping stone to the GT-R.

Thanks for all the support and welcomes! Just to clear things up im not a complete idiot i had bought the car with the rims on it and were told they were 19" never thought twice and tires are almost new so I never looked at the size. So far i can tell everyone knows their **** and i will learn a lot from this site.
