And what trim is your 07 Z? Still a long time for the new 3.7L to be on market I guess. Anyways, don't need to regret or anything, coz I think that the current HR 3.5L engine kicks many many asses and that's good enough for me...

Well, my parents moved here since 1980 and not coz of job or anything like that. I just didn't have any choice when I was only 4 yrs old when my parents decided to immigrate here in Paraguay, that's it...LoL

Thank you so much TJ, and I will surely take and post pics of my NISMO when it arrives here in Paraguay and meanwhile you can take a look of what it used to be my DOG's cell now turning into my NISMO GARAGE.

WoW! Looks awesome man. Looks to me, your new ride will be heavily guarded. I like the steel gates for the garage. Not to mention, two of them. Although easy on the way you park your ride. The NISMO is a tad longer than a regular Z and it looks to me, it's all about the way you would park your car in that new garage. Did you do it yourself? You put a lot of effort on that for sure, just the way you did on your car. Not to mention, all the trouble you had to go through. Well, trust me my friend, it's all about being patient and it will soon pay off.

Sup TJ? I know that our NISMO(173.6in) is 3.8in longer than the standard Z and my garage is about 193in. I did park my REXTON 4x4 is about 185.8in (http://www.smotor.com/en/showroom/rexton2/main.jsp) into the new garage and I had to go backwards in order to get it inside. I hope that I can master to park my NISMO directly just going forward.

I didn't DIY this garage, I've contracted person for this job, I wish I am that good in construction...LoL I already spend over $1.4k in this garage. I really need to start saving $$$ now~~~ LoL

Like you said, I also hope that all the trouble I had gone through it will soon pay off... At least everything is inside the container right now and just some more paperworks in Miami b4 it departs.

Yeah, I will definitely do that... But should I go with 50%, 35%, 20% or 5% I think that 20% is good enough, and 5% will be too dark, right?

I'd go with 35%. Looks classier IMO.

Sensi, did you tinted yours??? What color is your and what trim? U went for the 35%??? Here in Paraguay the sun is really radiant and during day is really hot, more than in SoCal...but IMO, if I get the 5% will be really too dark and nobody will know who is driving inside.... they won't know that I am driving it...LoL...but if I go with the 35% I think that is a bit light...anyways the first thing when my baby arrives, I will surely get it tinted and be very careful, coz I won't want them to spray all over my windows and ruin my dash board or any extra drop of water to fall inside the front control panels.

I don't have any tint on my silver alloy at the moment. It's all subjective as dark can look good, but it's not to my liking.

If you're interested in heat rejection, I'd look into huper optic or formula one ceramic tint. A little more expensive, but these films offer much better heat rejection.

Default Very ANNOYING

Very angry and very annoying to find an email this morning saying that the container shipping date has been changed & postponed to 2 weeks later....SXXX.

It supposed to depart today, Feb. 4 from Miami Port and arrive Paraguay by beginning of March, but now seems like I will get my car by mid to end of March. Really suckssss~~~~

The only good thing today is that my forwarder here in Paraguay sent me this item below... Only one from the forwarder when they moved my car and the other one is on its way from JENKINS NISSAN.

Sucks, it's just that the more you think about it, the slower time passes.

Today got a good news from forwarder in Miami. They informed me that my container will depart the port this Monday Feb. 11th and my car should be here between the week of 10~14th March. Once I finish with all its paperworks, I will go to China and then to Taiwan...LOL I guess that I will miss my new car soooooo much

Bad news TJ.......need to redo the entrance for my Nismo, coz too narrow for the car to just drive in directly. Today I tried with my brother's SUZUKI SX4 Crossover(162.8 in) and couldn't just drive in directly. I had to go backwards to get that car inside...

On Monday will have to break down the 2 concrete side walls, broaden the entrance, rebuild the concrete side walls, weld the steel gate into one piece and turn it into a sliding gate. Hopefully, it will be wide enough for my NISMO to just drive in directly.

Damn man..... .....I'm sOOO soRRy to hear that. That garage looked sweet, but I guess it's not all about the looks. Well, we all learn from our mistakes right. So always look at the bright side of things. Since the delay of your car coming to you (w/c, don't get me wrong, I also feel sad about this), everything happens for a reason. I guess it gives you time to re-do your garage right? Well, I hope everything works out for well for you man. Keep us posted on your progress. Until then, hope you get your car soon.
