hello everyone. new owner of magnetic black #0443 nismo. i made the switch this weekend from a 2006 honda S2000. loved that car a lot, but the test drive and the price i was quoted were too much to ignore. looking forward to learning a lot about the car, tips on care/maintenance, and meeting other Z and nismo drivers.

as an aside, i saw the sticky on checking for the spring spacers having been removed before delivery. that happened to me with my S2000, they left the fronts on and i drove it for over 1000 miles that way (after gentle break in, mostly free way miles). i haven't gotten the nismo on a lift yet to really check, and it sits too low to really see up in there properly. but the wheel gaps look right, it handles right, and from what i could see of the springs, there wasn't anything abnormal there.

anyhow, i never really knew how nice torque was...although vtec was a great substitute!

question with my new car:

when i tried to use my rear window wash, nothing came out. is there a separate reservoir to fill up for the rear? something i'm not seeing somewhere? the front works fine....
