Default New blood here.

So, after many years of owning primarily off-road vehicles, I finally broke down and purchased not only my first Nissan 350z but my first import all together (only owned jeeps and one camaro previously). Which is mildly bizarre as I am a technician for a Nissan dealership haha.

Buut looking forward to start building this thing and see what becomes of it.

2003 Nissan 350z Daytona blue hard top. (Not a fan of the convertibles). Completely stock minus the aftermarket radio, speakers, and window tint the previous owner installed. So I'm working with a blank canvas high miles but came with all records and I'm the second owner. So I'm feelin good about it.

In the mean time, as a Nissan tech I'm willin to help anyone out if they've got any questions. Always got knowledge to spread.

Thank you all. And pengu one benefit is, is that I do get a discount on Nissan and NISMO factory parts. However not sure how well the discount would be once shipping is figured in lol

Haha if you were in close vicinity it wouldn't be an issue (idk where you are haha but I don't see many 350s by me or at my dealership so I'm assuming you're not in Cincinnati) but as I said even with the discount id get shipping would be murderous. Maybe I'm not sure I don't ship things often enough haha

Almost all of the Zs I looked at had that wearing on the bolster. Some of them were really bad. Luckily the one I got had only minor wear marks. Needless to say I am being very careful.
