Hello everybody,



My names Marshal, Im from the California Bay Area and I finally picked up a Dark Grey 2005 Nissan 350z Base 6MT with 80,000 miles!!

I have been wanting this car, before i had my 2007 Charger RT, before the 2006 Mazdaspeed 6 I had. I have just never made the jump to a sports coupe... Until now and damn is it awesome!!

I am going to start with a front bumper bra, new wheels and tires, coil overs, intake and exhaust. After that its time to hit the track and have even more fun. Currently will be used as my daily driver and I am already so much more excited to leave for work each day. Ill let you guys know how it goes and post pics. Ive read a lot on the forums but now i can join in too!

Nice, welcome. I had a 2006 Z, traded it for a 2013 Charger RT. Missed my Z so much I bought another. Don't bother with a bra, it'll ruin your paint.

 

Welcome and enjoy the feel of the car..

 

Looks like garbage, behind the car.

 

Congrats though

 

Congrats and welcome to the forum.

 

Welcome to the forum, fellow Bay Area Z nut! Wow, two in one week!

I am not alone.

 

I see what you did there.

 

Welcome, your car looks great!

 

funny stuff. Thanks guys for the welcome. here are some more pics and ill keep em coming as i do some mods. Getting a great feel for the car. Its almost time for drag and track days!! More pics..

 

Fixed^^

I wouldn't do the bra just because they're ugly imo. It took me a LONG time to get over rock chips in my front bumper from canyon runs. At first it was easy to avoid them since I was so slow and cautious. But as I progressed in the SoCal canyons I learned to wear them as badges of courage as I could keep up with some of the faster guys.

Welcome to the forum and keep the us posted on mods!

 

Well guys here is a big update...
Unfortunately my silver 350z that i just got was completely a total loss because of another car crashing me into a guard rail at 75 mph. Here are the horrific photos before i get to the good news.






This was 1 month after having the 2005 Silver 350z with 84,000 miles. Insurance obviously took care of the loan and I just got my new 350z this week!!! Check it out upgrade!!

 

2006 with 44,000 miles Touring Package feels a bit more refined and even more pull! Thanks for checking it out, glad to be alive and well!

 

Burn!!! I mean check frequently for oil burning issues with the 06 rev up engine.

 

^ what he said..

 

(pours out some beer) but this happens all too often with new Z owners. congrats on the new one, but you should have got an 07-08

 

rev up oil consumption isn't that big of a deal. pour half a quart every 1k miles and you good to go like that issue was never there. what does a quart cost like 7 dollars. congrats on the new car.

 

I thought the solution for the 05-06 oil burners was a catch can?

 

Tongue meets cheek haha.

Congratz op!

 

Couple little mods I've done so far. here are some pics
