18hrs of driving, 0051 IS MINE!
Just like the title said, I finally bit the bullet and bought my 2007 nismo Z.
I had been building my S2000 for the past 4 years and I thought I was content once I did my low compression turbo build w/ precision 6169 turbo and meth injection.... but then I took it to FORGED to get tuned, and when I saw the nissans everywhere, it took me back to when I was doing SR swaps into my old 240sx's. After that day, I just wasn't happy. I had to have the perfect Z. So I looked at the 370Z, but didn't wanna pay that much for the sport package editions.. so then I looked at 350z... but I only wanted the nismo edition. So Thursdajy evening I sold my car to a guy in south carolina, deposited the check, and called the bank to let them know I'm OMW to buy a new car.
So long story short, I drove 18 hrs total just to go pick up a black nismo Z. (Even though there was a silver one for sale only 1 hr away for the same price) I had to have the black!
Well, right now I'm in the back of my ambulance @ work running emergency traffic to transport a pt so I guess ill get back to work... ill leave you with the few pictures I have right now of the car. Ill take more as soon as I can get off work.

Thanks guys. I basically called every private party and dealer within 800 miles and haggled with every person that had a black nismo until I found the best price with the lowest miles. This one now has 23k miles on it. It looks brand new! And still has that new car smell.
The only down side to my trip to get this was that when I got there, they tried to tack on another 1800 in fees AFTER we had agreed on a price... so after I got so mad that I started to walk out, they went back to the original price.

I ended up paying 25,900.00 total out the door cost. They tried to sell it at 25,7k then add on 1800 in taxes, 900 dealer fees, $10 in tag... and some other crap charge. And their response to why it changed was " the lady on the phone forgot to add it in, and she didn't do ur sales tax right" so I got mad and they went back down

It looks nice. congrats 
I drove 13 hours to get mine. Though, it was a 26 hour trip due to flying from pgh->atl->stl then renting a car to drive 2 hours to the guy's house. Then driving it from there back to pgh. I didn't mind the driving at all, but boy was i getting sleepy near the end.
