Default Picking up #582 (lento) today. MA

Just wanted introduce myself to my fellow Nismo'ers.

My name is Andrew
From Brockton MA

I like long walks on the beach.

I've been into cars since I was 16 (27 now). I have had 2 SRT4's. I have some decent knowledge of turbos and tuning. Just some trial by error knowledge nothing fancy, used to tune my SAFC on my own through track runs. Got my first SRT4 to 13.1 on streets, stock turbo, stock intercooler. Probably would of been in the 12's with the mods I put on over the winter but some jackass totaled it on me. Never got into draggin my most recent one.

Been looking at Z's for a few weeks now and was just planning on getting stock low mileage 07+. But then Lento put his on craigslist and I fell in love. And knew I had to sell my srt4 and get it. Now here I am.

Last night I felt like a little kid on Christmas Eve I couldn't sleep just kept thinking about how awesome it is going to be to have a Nismo. My only plans for the car are upgrade the stereo system, black the headlights, smoke corners and tails.

Any info I need to know about these cars? I have been all over the forums looking at how-to's etc. (I know crazy a new person who searches)

Welcome to the group! There is lots of potential with the HR's! All kinds of performance upgrades out there as well. Check out some of the mods other's have done to their Nismo's. Several out there that are TT with 450-520 whp!

Good Luck & enjoy.

It is 100% stock except tinted windows and Clear (or black) stick on bra. Damn front plate is screwed right into the face of the bumper. It makes me cringe when people do that. You would think nissan wouldn't make such a stupid bracket, at least Dodge screws underneath the mouth so you can take it off without having giant holes. Any good way to repair those holes.

^^You could either re paint the bumper, or get some color matching plugs that they sell online. But looks good and you will prob be modding much more than what you have planned lol
