Default Hi… Again.

Hello… Longtime member here, but I sold my 2003 Touring a few years back. I purchased a G37, so my visits to this forum became less frequent. Anyway, I always kicked myself for selling my Z, especially given that I had high expectations for it. So I recently purchased another Z. I am looking forward to spending more time around here.

I have not had a chance to register it or even take any of my own pictures, but I do have a few pictures from the dealer.

Your old Z was nice, but the G is just sweet.

AAAARRRGGG!!! I can't see the pictures at work but if Mr. Sparco says it's sweet, I bet it is.

What are your plans for the "new" Z? Miles? Trim? (remember I can't see the pictures at work)

Welcome back from 2006!

All nice and welcome back.

Tough life though, having to "live with that mere G37". Heh heh.

Thanks everyone.

Yeah, a lot of work and time went into the G - a few one-off parts on that car. Legitimately the first time I took the car out in the spring of 2013 I had a couple things done to it and was on my way home from the shop and, out of nowhere, a blown tire found its way into my lane on the expressway. This was the result.

I guess I was a bit deflated and sort of lost some enthusiasm at that point and decided to part out and sell. Anyway, after buying and selling, less than a year later, a super low-mileage 1993 FD RX-7, I decided I wanted another Z33. And here I am…

I do have some plans for this car. The car has a little less than 100,000 miles on it. I was not concerned with the mileage, as I would like to build the engine down the line anyway. I suppose I will cross that bridge when I get to it. I am in the process of buying some wheels and coilovers. We'll see where we go from there…

Thanks again for the second welcome…

It's funny. That's what I said when I had my first Z. It was sort of a "grass is always greener" thing, I suppose. Don't get me wrong, I loved the G, but I really missed the sportiness and "tuner" nature of the Z. The G is a bit more refined.

Thank you. Wheels and coilovers are en route…

I bought a 2014 ML 350 with less than 10k miles from E-Imports and saved a good amount of money as compared to buying new. Pretty nice shop with great deals

On another note I also have a 2005 DB Z.

Thanks again.

Wheel specs are:

18x10" (+20)
18x11" (+18)

And they look a bit different now…
