Midwest Z owner!
Hey guys! I have had my Z for about 4 months now, but i just now decided, hey, i should probably join the really big community of people who also own and love Z cars. My baby
(named Zelda by the previous owner, probably a common one im sure) is an 04' Touring 6spd. It's not in the best of condition, its honestly pretty rough everywhere but that's nothing that a caring owner can't fix. Having some gremlins at the moment with the cluster so i figured id look to the forums and my local club, Ozark Z Club, for some help.
Anyways glad to be here and hope to meet some new people!
Basically the car now except on a nice set of G35 18's

Sorry for the late response, work swamped me!
Cole, Its in pretty good aesthetic condition, a few dings and dents, and im pretty sure the hood is bent from a small collision but overall decent. Under the hood is just your typical DE, other than a Injen Tuned CAI, its stock. Feels like it revs way easier than normal though, so maybe a lightened flywheel. Honestly, the previous owner only did the wheels, everything else was done prior to him. Its a 174k miles car though, and the trans has seen better days. 5th grinds unless you baby it, and the rear suspension feels a bit loose. My plans are; maybe some breather mods, nismo wing, new from splitter, i have a hookup on BC coilovers, sticky tires, and maybe, if i have the money, some Nitrous. The goal is a great handling car that can also put up a fight on some street challenges. I go to school in Springfield MO, and the Ozark Z Club, and car scene in general, love their "fast in a straight line" cars too.
Atreyu'z, i believe they are just black out. I take no responsibility for that haha.
Thanks to both for the welcome!

^Right. And as far as nitrous, do a compression check and see what your numbers are first.
