Default 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

Nice really my taste of wheels but looks like it's in good shape. Stock under the hood?

Plans for the car?

Nice. Welcome. ...Are those the all-in-one rear blinkers, or are they just blacked-out stock ones?

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!

That's a lot of miles for Nitrous. With that many miles I'd do your maintenance, clean er up and enjoy it.

And if I were you, I'd not mention the street racin on this site or big brother will come and get ya

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