My first 350z
Hello everyone, I'm Gadget and i just purchased my first stock 350z, Silver 2006 Touring 6spd about a week ago with 114k miles. I got it for what I believe to be a really good price considering it came with full service record and only one owner and it was under $12,000.
In the week I've owned it I've installed cat back Borla exhaust that I'm extremely happy with.
All I've ever owned were Hondas (95 integra Gsr, 99Civic Type R, Civic SI) so I've got some learning to do about this amazing 3.5l V6 and almost double the power I'm used to.
I have some experience with the newer HR 08 350z from helping my buddy with his but im still not all too familiar with the ins and outs of the Z.
I don't have big plans for this car (although I have a habit of starting that way and venturing off into the wonderful land of empty wallet Syndrome) currently my plans are to focus on sound, handling and appearance.
Here's a short summary
- Cat back borla exhaust (Done)
-Bags and management system, maybe coilovers due to everyones bags blowing out on these crappy New York roads.
-Intake & Headers
- Nismo front and rear spoiler
- Perhaps a wide body kit at some point.
- change color with a vinyl wrap (undecided color)
- Nismo wheels
- Steering angle kit
- Poly bushings for diff, engine/trans mounts
- sparco/recaro bucket seats w harness(leather bucket seats are a little worn and too prone to burning my ***)
Also looking into aftermarket master and slave cylinder for clutch as they tend to be troublesome at some point.
I'll get some recent pics up soon but until then heres some from when I was at the dealer.
