Default Longtime import enthusiast, first time Z owner!

Hello!
I wanted to share a few pictures of my new baby, and some background info. I've been in the import scene for around 10 years. I've gone from Honda to Nissans and back again. I've mainly stayed with FWD cars, this will be my first RWD daily(other than a 85 200sx i had for a month). I was actually looking to get out of the car scene and just find something reliable and comfy because i tend to buy total beater cars then basically remake them from the ground up. I ended up at my local Nissan dealership looking at 2010 sentras/altimas and then i saw her.... a MINT 2003, single owner, garage kept 350z. I was just blown away at the condition this car was in. I was very skeptical about the performance of the Z though, but after a quick test drive i was very shocked. She stopped on a dime, handled amazingly and was pretty damn quick. And the out the door price was cheaper than a sentra/altima...so it was a no brainier!




I don't plan and going crazy with the Z because this will be my 1st car with a payment but i have to do a few basic things at the LEAST!
I want a good intake/exhaust.
I defiantly need to find a good set of lowering springs, nothing crazy low though, i want her to handle good, and MOST IMPORTANTLY i new set of wheels.

Congrats. Nice looking Z. That doesn't appear to be a stock Z color. Or it could be the lighting distorting the color.

Congrats dude

One of my favorite things about the 350, a well maintained one is still a beautiful car for coming out more than 10 years ago. Classic lines go long a way. Enjoy the new ride!

I see a lot of beat up Z's, but the really nice ones show that the owners care.

Thanks for all the love guys.

I'm still not 100% on my plans for the Z, but I had to lower it and put some wheels on it. (Along with some much needed spacers and custom front lip)
